If we move down to 5 and get something of quality back, I'd be happy with Kotkaniemi. Taking Kotkaniemi at 3 and gift wrapping Zadina to the Sens would be dumb though.If we're looking to trade down to #5, as LeBrun insinuated, I'd think that really points to the Habs leaning towards taking Kotkaniemi.
Passing on Zadina will still hurt for me. I think he develops into 60-70 point 35-40 goal scorer. He's solidified himself at #3 for me, with some separation from the pack of players ranked 4-10 in my eyes.
I'm never a fan of picking for position, but if Timmins has Kotkaniemi on equal footing (or better) as Zadina, Dobson, Boqvist, Wahlstrom, Hughes, etc, then he's the right pick.
What do the Coyotes have that could be a realistic and nice add to 5 in return for 3?
