Opinions on Owen Power

He’s not special. He’s a big defensemen with upside, but has a lot to work on. The difference between he and eklund/beniers is basically non existent. Unless someone desperately needs a future top pair defensemen and their young forward core is really good, no one will/should trade to 1

Hard to say. Nobody has traded a 1st overall pick in the salary cap era. But this year with no consensus top pick its probably similar value to a 2nd-4th overall pick in years past. If there was a trade for 1st overall I bet it would be a scenario where a team trades up a few spots rather than putting a full package of NHLers and prospects together

I get that hes the favorite to be 1 but yeah he seems a bit scary to me. Id rather take beniers or eklund I think at 2 and not have to worry about him.

I think he will be a for sure top pairing defenceman but beyond that I can’t say. He has the size you love to see and the kid certainly can skate. I don’t think he will be Chris Pronger but he also won’t be Gord Kluzak

If Devils won lottery and #1 overall and were trade down, I’d want a 1st in top-6, a prospect and probably another mid or later pick.

From Ducks, ~ 3rd overall, Ian Moore and a mid pick.
