My knowledge of this year's draft eligible players is not great. From what you've seen and read, what players do you think we should go after with the STL and NYI picks?

I hope we trade up into the teens with the two extra firsts but definitely would take a risk with Yevgeni Svechnikov if he is around late in the first.
FWIW, I'm hoping we use one of the picks in conjunction with a package to acquire an NHL player, ie Kane, O'reilly.
Holding my breath that the isles pick rises enough for one of sprong or konecny.
Konecny would be ideal, but I don't think he'll still be on the board. I would like to take a shot at Dante Salituro. I think he might be a high risk, high reward player, and we've got a lot of picks and prospects and can afford to take a long shot. Salituro is small and everything I read about him says that he is a Gerbe-type of player, but possibly with more skill. Also interested in Dergashev.
With our early second round pick I'd go for a goalie. MacKenzie Blackwood. Mostly because he has an awesome name, but also because I've still got some doubt about our goalie prospects (Ullmark isn't impressing, Johansson isn't even playing) and I'd like to have a big talented goalie.
Salituro from what I read on the prospects board sounds like a guy who won't even go top 2 rounds if I'm not mistaken (although I am not sure of the reason).
