We probably should be using our 1st on a defender, but this just seems like a really weak draft for Dmen... If SY wants to go Dman I think you have to take Jackson Smith. He's a project player who's gonna need time to cook in lower leagues, but could end up really good with the right development. I'm not sure we'll get a chance at him... 12 teams in front of us and surely one will opt for a Dman which will prolly be Smith. If SY is okay taking a forward and picking up D later in the draft... I think you have to take Eklund if he's there. He'll be in the SHL next year and looks like he'll easily be a top6 forward. To me he looks like the best possible player that coulddddd maybeeee slip to 13. If Eklund is gone I'm going with Bear or Potter. Those two just have everything this team sorely lacks. Bear is a physical nightmare on skates. A bear on skates if you will. Guys like that who can also score are hard to pass on. And we desperately need a guy like that. Potter I see ranked pretty low by some. Outside the top20 even. I think he's potentially a top10 talent in this draft. He's a very high motor forechecking disrupter. Reminds me a lot of MBN. After watching all 4 lines of the panthers play this way, i have absolutely no problem collecting more guys like this.
