1, 30, & 31 would be fantastic
Hopefully the Haws blow a tire in the first round. Maybe an unfortunate injury occurs or they just have some strong suckage. Make that pick a little bit nicer.

Is 26 vs 30 worth an extra 3rd rd pick?
(I'm assuming the Hawks will win the central now that Hossa is back)
Hard to say 2018 is supposed to be looking pretty good right now but its impossible to call from this far out.
The next player on the Jets list at 26 could still be available at 30.
This is true but what if he is on 27, 28 or 29's list as well?
Before the lottery? Obviously 1st is better than anything but I think Leafs have that locked down. I'd be happy with 2nd last and hope that the lottery gods show us some love
This team really needs an Auston Matthews type player.
Exactly.
Absolutely.
Who was the last team to win a cup with out an elite center?
The whole point was late in the first round lists are more likely to be diverging and going different ways, so there's a better chance the same player is still available. I think I'd rather take 30 plus the extra 3rd rd pick over 26 and take my chances.

Scheifele is becoming elite.
The 03 Devils? Gomez had 55 points in 80 games, followed by Nieuwendyk and Madden.
Since then its been:
Tampa (04) - Lecavalier/Richards
Carolina (06) - Staal
Anaheim (07) - Getzlaf
Detroit (08) - Datsyuk
Pittsburgh (09) - Crosby
Chicago (10) - Toews
Boston (11) - Bergeron
LA (12) - Kopitar
Chicago (13) - Toews
LA (14) - Kopitar
Chicago (15) - Toews
I guess you could argue the 07 Ducks maybe because Getzlaf wasn't their top line C at that time, they still were riding Andy McDonald at almost a point per game...

That's why I said "becoming".I wouldn't go that far. An elite 2C maybe. He's not quite on the Kopitar, Toews, Datsyuk, Getzlaf Bergeron level yet. He's got a ways to go.
