I agree. Our needs are a goalie, a top 4 dman, and a big winger.
Goalie: Not gonna be fixed through draft.
Winger: Landeskog
Top 4 Dman: Larsson
I think Larsson is the best player available that would fill our needs. I just hope Edmonton doesn't pick him at #1 overall.
Even if they take Larsson, which I don't think they will, RNH and Duchene down the middle along with EJ already is Cup caliber. Teams that win Cups are usually real strong down the middle and on the back end. I wouldn't use a top 5 pick on a power forward by need unless you've already got franchise center and defense corps set. Center and defense are the two hardest places to fill...fill those spots the best you can, when you can, and the wing is easier to address with those spots already filled properly. Centers generally make their wingers better, not the other way around. Defense makes everyone look better.
