Quoting: mhockey91
Question for you, if minny wins first overall, would you trade down for Byfield?
LW is set with fiala and kaprizov
Personally, I'd take Lafreniere with the 1st ova, center be damned.
Fiala plays RW for us, and has been since just before his game took off. I'd prefer to keep him there since he's so dominant from that wing. However that means that he needs a legitimate playmate at 1LW for this team to really be lethal.
Kaprizov is a legitimate threat from either wing position, but prefers to play from the right wing.
Taking Laf give us a triple threat of high-end finishers for our top six. Something this team also desperately needs. With Laf as our 1LW, Fiala as 1RW, and Kaprizov as either 2LW or 2RW, the Wild's top six suddenly looks
very potent.
Afterward, Guerin should continue on as originally planned. Draft a center with our second pick and hope we hit. Move one of Dumba or Brodin for a top six center or look to free agency. Yes, I'm well aware this year's FA list for centers is absolute crap. But 21', 22' and 23' looks to have a nice range of decent to stellar options.
