This year I think there's an outside shot at either Elick or Emery to bring in another defense first RHD. Both have Lydman moments with the puck but like to bang bodies
If they keep the pick, hoping Catton is there for them. Helenius is a good consolation prize.
Buffalo will be full of whl Allstars if we draft catton

It felt like this even before Mitts imo. Time to rebalance the pool and realize that the abundance of available wingers is because wingers are indeed abundant.
Sub 6', 165 lb, left handed puck moving defenseman with no physicality and low compete level.
That would be ideal i think buffalo just needs a surefire gamebreaker at forward we have Thompson I know but two absolute game breakers at forward would help
I would love it if that happened but if not one of demimedov, catton, Lindstrom, or helenius would be my pick i like Iginla as well but I feel we have a lot of great shooters already and since we traded our best playmaker in Mittelstadt it seems like we only have 4 potential playmakers in our system in Benson, Krebs, savoie and ostlund. Demimedov fits into the shooter/playmaker hybrid for me who is dynamic but looks to be nothing special in his own end. Catton seems like Benson with better skating but not as high of an iq, Lindstrom could be something real special but will longer and the high end potential seems riskier but still will carve out a role as an efficient bottom sixer while helenius doesn't have the upside of the latter three still seems like a good bet to be a middle six two way guy that could get players the puck.
