I think any scenario, from drafting 5OA to making the playoffs is interesting. A pick in the early 10's could give us another important piece to round up our rebuild. If we iss the playoiffs by 1 spot or 2 and draft 15OA-16OA after a fairly healthy season, i'd use the pick and our draft capital to move up the draft or simply trade it for a missing piece.Two interesting scenarios:
1) everyone stays healthy and we make the playoffs
2) we have massive injuries and pick bottom 5 again
Both scenarios are exciting to me. I just hate the middle of the road scenario where we win a bit more but end up out of the playoff race.
Really the coming season and next summer will surely be interesting. I think the most important parts will be to stay healthy (Dach, Newhook, Caufield, Laine) and see young guys like Slaf and Hutson (maybe Mailloux) improving during the season.
