Kind of where I am starting to land when looking at both of them.

If you’re looking at big defensemen, pick the one that plays with an identity. Fiddler is physical, a worker, and is improving his offensive game.
You won’t get big points from Fiddler but a guy like Tanev on this current Detroit team instead of Holl and they’re in the playoffs.

Strong transition player, not sure what he becomes if this is it. Older guy for his draft year, he improved over the season at Wisconsin, but again I like that Fiddler has an identity. I am not sure Hensler has enough to be a PP guy and where does that leave a two way D-man that doesn't project to me as a shutdown type. I am worried about him getting caught out at his blueline a few times I watched him, ill-advised walks, not getting shots through. I think if he can round his game you get a Jake McCabe type if he ramps up the physicality, he is kind of a passenger at times. He has got good skating but I wanted to see more especially for a top 15 pick slot. He could do it and put it all together, I certainly don't want him at 13.

There’s a lot of these generic types in this draft. It’s made it hard for me to be excited about the class as a whole.

They had a 33 and a third chance of having 66 and two thirds chance at winning 1st.

I think Eklund is a little bigger than Benson is but he plays noticeably bigger as well. If he falls, the wings are probably running to the podium for him. I like Martin but I'm not sure you can convince me hes better than Eklund
Achilles is the only reason hes likely possible but yeah your description isnt too bad. I think hes got a much grittier game than either of those guys though. Jarvis and Sillinger have some power aspects to their game, I dont know that I would say they make a team hard to play against physically necessarily though compared to someone that plays the way Bear does. There was a tweet going around about top prospect per 60 rates, and Bears were really good in all areas
If Aitcheson isnt available, it means that someone else has fallen. He might actually be the perfect pick for Detroit though all things considered

not adverse to taking a big rugged good skating power forward that can fight but doesnt have talent at 13 , the outlook being shoot for highest odds of succesfully adding an important long term peice even if its bottom half roster . same with a big rugged pk'ing dman . create a playoff team = need size n physicality because the energy levels and speed of game are raised and amongst that enviroment theres fewer seams for the small forwards to find , it becomes more of a power game . and i dont want small forwards getting bodied off the rink

I don't think it really exists in the first round of this draft outside of possibly McQueen, but on D it screams Aitcheson. Nesbitt could become that, but right now he's not much of a fighter.
I do think Martin, Bear, McQueen, and possibly Carbonneau/Nesbitt are all guys with a legit chances of Detroit drafting at forward that would make them legitimately harder to play against. This might be a draft for identity more than for a super high end player.
I guess McQueen has talent though so it doesnt fit now that I reread the post you're replying to lol

13 is a little high for fiddler, same with nesbitt, if we are going for identity over high impact (which I’m fine with in this specific draft) then we should just try and trade back. Or we could just take aitcheson, which I find is still the most likely outcome. The only significant move I could see us taking and it’s a big risk but it is trading up a few spots for McQueen but I highly doubt that happens. Martin will not be there at 13.

Agree in spirit, but I think it is the wrong way to go in this particular yr. The 2nd round this yr basically starts almost immediately after 20th OA. Massive flaws and question marks in the late 1st. And that pulp is roughly 30-40 players who are projects, it drags deep into the 2nd rd. IMO the likelihood of taking part in that crap shoot with an extra bullet and still not hitting is too high. Though I really like Daniil Prokhorov i do not want a project like that being our #1 selection.
Make the pick or trade it for a top6 or a top4.

What do people think of Filip Ekberg? He's undersized and didn't do well in the OHL, but had a strong U18 tournament. Some have complained about his usage on the Ottawa 67's. Would you take him, and if so in what round? FWIW central scouting has him ranked 178th.

2nd rd if he’s there at 45 or whatever we have

He didn't play either KHL or VHL and Bob McKenzie don't have him in his ranking. We will see

Worth a second. Might be a steal. Might be a Jurco.
For now I’ve decided on Aitcheson and West for my first two picks. That’s if Martin goes early. Eklund might alter things
Id consider him with the 44th pick or would package the 2 3rds + to move up 20ish spots if he’s there. I heard a podcast where he was apparently sick and not 100% in his ohl season and wouldn’t work out with his teammates
I think there’s something potentially there and would draft him
