Svechnikov is NHL ready, especially on a team like the sens. Might aswell let him play

I agree with most of what you have done, and especially with the overall goal. I do feel that with Logan Brown's size and injury history in Junior, he will need a full season in the AHL. (Bigger guys often take longer to develop.) And with only one year remaining on Colin White's entry level deal, I would put him at centre and give him one season to prove he is a NHL calibre centre. In his case, I'm not expecting him to be a #1 or #2 centre, a #3 would be fine. Nice job!

Yeah, I was reluctant to put Svechnikov (assuming we pick 2nd) in right away as I'm always skeptical of a 1st year pro being a difference-maker no matter who they are. If he is indeed ready, i may consider trading Hoffman for a centre of the Nugent-Hopkins variety or for Fabbri+ from St. Louis and have them as the 2nd line centre. Although, I don't want to box either Colin white or Brown from taking that 2c position so I decided to just leave them in and have a bit of a competition in which they duel it out to see who can take that spot. In that situation Svechnikov/formenton/batherson can fight it out for the 2nd LW spot. Of course, it's all moot if we get 1st OA and draft Dahlin.
