There is a lot of discussion on the Oilers board about taking a Dman #1 (or top 3). Specifically with regard to Larsson, who is the #1 prospect now. A large number of Dmen in the top 3 turn out to be mediocre, with few finding stardom.
Even now, looking at the top defence in the league - many or most of them at late picks, 2nd rounders and higher even.
What is your opinion of picking a D with #1-#3? Obviously with Doughty, this has turned out great - but traditionally not so.
