In this scenario i would vote for Wennberg.
His hockey sense and skating are really good, and he can play both center and wing.

I'm not sure we can just rule out Zadorov because he is a defenseman. In my opinion, I think a strong argument can be made that he is the BPA left on the board.
A 6'5" defenseman who is a smooth skater and has an excellent shot? Count me in. You can never have too much depth on the point.
The biggest thing against him is his first name - we didn't have success with the last time we drafted a Nikita in the first round.
He would be my pick.
I think we should defer to the HF draft poll which clearly shows Horvat as the choice of the fans here.

So hopefully OP will set the poll when he awakens tomorrow morning across the pond. I still think its an overkill but a poll between Horvat,Wennberg,& Mantha would seem about right.
But 12 guys would have to switch off of Horvat to Wennberg with no more votes for Mantha, Seems like a waste of time to me but I'll vote Horvat again.
If someone I trust a great deal compares Zadorov to Boris Valabik, then I think that's a compelling reason to look elsewhere. The most notable thing Valabik did in the NHL was get punched in the taint by Sidney Crosby.
