The only way Buium makes any sense is if they manage to deal Matheson for the 10th or 11th pick and draft Sennecke/Iginla/Catton then, or acquire a similar caliber forward prospect for Matheson. Or trade another LD prospect for similar return. What I'm saying is, a LD would need to go right away.
Avoiding drafting a position where there is a current and forthcoming logjam is not at all the same thing as drafting for need. Drafting for need is targeting one position. The process here is targeting every position but one, where there is already a surplus of players.
If Buium was such a prospect that you absolutely have to take him regardless of position, he would not be available at 5. Plain and simple. Especially since all of CBJ, ANA and CHI have more room than the Habs at LD.
