Quoting: Xspyrit
Byram, Bowen instead of Tkachuk, Brady = NO
Veleno, Joseph instead of Bernard-Docker, Jacob = NO God NO
Tomasino, Philip instead of Thomson, Lassi = 2019 but YES please (I'd take Ville Heinola or Connor McMichael too)
Newhook will be the "1st round steal"
There may be a few 1st round steals from that draft, with Newhook potentially being one. Unfortunately, I don't think the odds of Thomson being in that category are very good.
On Byram vs Tkachuk, I agree but caveat it with Byram is looking like an absolute stud when given the opportunities. I'm not sure he ever reaches his full potential in Colorado with all the other defensemen in front of him, but the ceiling that made him a high pick is very much still there and showing at times.
Also agree on Veleno but could easily see this happening in the alternate universe where Ottawa gave up their pick.
Overall, I personally think the Sens made the right decision with the pick and actually thought so from day one. Kinda fun to try and predict how the dominos could have fallen though if they went the other way. Might do the same for Colorado if I get motivated enough.
