Before draft, yes…but once the draft starts, it’s a different story. Say Minnesota is targeting a dman and has Sam Dickinson #4 on their list and he falls to #10. They aren’t gauging the value difference between picks #10 and #13…they are looking the value of Dickinson (minus whatever pieces are needed to move up) vs next dman available at #13.
Who else should we say falls? Oooh, maybe Levshunov will be there… ooooooh.
It’s not gonna happen.

Hard disagree.
Greentree may be something of a late riser. But no thank you. Helenius is twice the prospect Greentree is. I would take Helenius who is a likely JEE 2.0, over Greentree, who is more likely a Greenway 2.0 than a Boldy 2.0.
Furthermore, Catton could absolutely be there at 10. Especially if there's a run on defensemen through the 6-9 pick range. Which is highly likely given this years D class.
Weren’t you the guy who overvalued Lambos a couple months back? You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t trust your prospect evaluations.
Helenius is such a milk toast prospect. He’s almost perfect for this organization.

You could probably toss Yakemchuk in that group as well. If anyone goes off board, we have our pick of two of the above.
