It might be closer to top-10.

You wouldn't even think of trading him for Nemec/Jiricek/Korchinski who went 2-6-7 in that draft.
Top 10 would suggest he is a future top pairing d man. I hope that’s what other GM’s are thinking, because if we want a forward group that is elite and can compete for a Cup, we need to trade either Pettersson or Willander. It has to be done. Our defence is still good with Hughes, Hronek, Willander, and Marcus. Actually those 4 make a better than average defence group. A top 2 man is worth a lot these days.

2022 draft is pretty shit so far.

Slaf
Cooley
Wright
Gauthier
Kasper
Mintyukov
Mateychuk
Nazar
Kulich
Bichsel

are really the ones trending really well in the NHL from the 1st round.

There are a bunch of kids that are coming along slowly but if you rank how they are doing based the on value of D/C >>>>> Wings, the only D and C doing well so far are Wright, Cooley, Kasper, Mintyukov, Mateychuk, Nazar, Bichsel, Hutson, Poitras. Don't watch enough to have any idea how Casey, Luneau, Lamoureux are doing.
