Sujet: Meh Draft but still stacked prospect pool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>I've really softened on the idea of Sanderson. I still don't think it's the right decision, but I don't really hate the idea as much as I used to. If Ottawa committed to letting Brannstrom play his preferred right side, I think it could work out really nicely with them together on your 2nd pair. Then you just need one of JBD or Thomson to become a DeMelo level guy to play with Chabot, then you're set.

More importantly though, my point was to illustrate that the Sens don't need to have a perfect draft for them to have a fantastic draft this year. Sens always have some picks that leave people confused and angry, and they usually end up vindicated.</div></div>

Yes, it would be hard to miss on an impactful player with the 5th pick, on that we agree. But coming away without getting a legit 1st one pivot would be so detrimental to the rebuild because of what we'd have to give up to trade for one. Having any two of Stutzle/Perfetti/Rossi, combined with Colin White and Josh Norris, leaves me confident that even if we don't end up with a top tier 1st line pivot, we can still be contenders with our talent level at that position throughout the line up. And again, any of them can play a wing so it's not like we're missing out by passing on Raymond. That's my take. But like you, I won't be livid if they take Sanderson... I've come to expect strange picks from this team.
