Could see Räty falling to this pick.
And we get Wallsted on our own.
Goalie and Center at 1st round?

Raty has plummeted for a reason.
Good for us then, when he has confidence he is easily a top 10 player in the draft

I think a lot of the players Detroit would like to draft will be taken by their pick(s).
This is a real test of the DRW's scouting staff in the 1st-3rd round.
He's plummeted for a reason and it's more than confidence. I sincerely doubt that Raty's situation is a Veleno 2.0.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see Edmonton pick him up before us. Holland loves picking the falling players like he's discount shopping at Walmart almost as much as he loves reaching for defensemen several spots higher than they were rated.
I am hoping they can package it with a 2nd or a 2nd+3rd and move up to the top 15.
To what end exactly? A particular player?
For a better chance at drafting an impact player.
There are impact players in the later rounds aswell
Okay? And some people win the Powerball. But reasonable investments in the stock market are much more likely to make you rich. Same thing as gambling on later picks panning out. If Detroit can move up they increase their chances at getting a better player. Period. I believe Detroit should be doing everything they can to maximize that.There are impact players in the later rounds aswell

I don't disagree, but I'd only move up if there was a guy there we really wanted. I wouldn't start packaging picks to move up without that knowledge because I'm not sure the expected returns for a guy picked 18th is all that different from a guy picked 28th or 38th or 48th.
I believe this happened with Dach/Turcotte going before us in the 2019 Draft, and they responded pretty well with their Seider selection.
So what happens if Washington loses in the first rd?
Since the Coyotes forfeit its pick, I believe the worst we can pick is 25th. The best we can do is 21st I believe, but it would require four teams in front of Washington to make the conference finals.
Carson Lambos.
Before this season Lambos was ranked as a top 12 guy. I haven't seen a single good explanation for why he dropped. He should most definitely go in the top 12.
He played well enough in Finland and played pretty well in the WHL before a mystery injury ended his season. Very good wheels and overall mobility, great athleticism, and had a CHL rookie season that was on par offensively with Clarke and Drysdale. I don't know about #1 defenseman upside but I could see him being a PP2, PK1, 2nd pair anchor while playing a pretty physical brand of hockey. I'd say this kid could become something of a Brad Stuart on the low end to a Ryan McDonagh on the high end.
