We already have a 1C, we are also going to draft one this year and get Dubois in 2024.
Our #1D is called Lane Hutsonz may hqve heard of him, better than Quinn Hughes in the NCAA Actually... Unless you don't consider Quinn a #1D???
Well I guess technically every team has a 1C, I should have said a 1C that would be a 1C on almost any team, like EP40.
The fact you think Lane was better than Quinn because of getting more points shows you never actually watched Quinn in College. Quinn also played for team USA at 18 in the world's and wasn't on the ice for a goal against. The gap between them is absolutely massive, I will be shocked if Lane ever becomes more than a 3rd pairing defensive liability.
Quinn plays 26+ minutes a night in every situation against top competition and was a ppg +16 with his best partner being Luke Schenn.
Compating the two is an insult to Quinn who at 23 already owns several league and team records.
The hard truth you need to face is if Suzuki is your 1C and Lane is your 1D, your rebuild will be a failure.
As for this draft and PLD, at 5 chances are there won't be the 1C you were banking on and PLD is an overrated loser who is allergic to playoff style hockey, ask any Jets fan or their coach
