I like Smith a lot as a prospect but it is absolutely not a sure thing he pans out. You take the BPA at the premium position 10 times out of 10.
Would be cool if Anaheim got 1st overall for once
I wouldn't overthink it and pick Hagens. Watch the 3 young centers progress and if there's a surplus they'll have a dozen teams lining up to overpay for their young center with upside.Let's say the Sharks get the 1st overall pick, who do they take?
Do they not overthink it and take Hagens (if they all continue to develop at same rate) or do they take Martone out of team needs?
It's hard for me to see 3 smaller centers all with 1C potential on the same team. I don't see any of Hagens, Celebrini or Smith fitting in on the bottom 6, frankly it's a waste unless one is converted to wing.
What's most likely? Take Hagens, take Martone or try to trade back a spot or two for say hypothetically Flyers first and the Colorado or EDM 1st they own (est 3rd and 17th)
You take Hagen and roll out two outstanding centers
If SJ would not overthink 2023, they would be in better position now with MM
