<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>Eh, every year that doesn’t feature a Bedard/Crosby/Matthews/McDavid type is always called a weak draft. Lafreniere was supposed to be a world breaker, and can’t really say he has convinced anyone yet. These guys take time, and it can be a wild card based on what situation they are drafted into.

Point being, not sure I could see CBJ doing that. I think some great guys will be available in the Top 12, and not sure it’s worth leveraging for Wright.

Then again, I keep getting the feeling that if the CHI pick stays with CBJ, Jarmo makes a move with one of the two 1sts.</div></div>

Let’s just compare picks 1, 6, and 10 for a minute here, because i think this is a slam dunk for columbus. Get a shot at a generational player-and minimize some risk.

Let’s start with 2018 and work back:
2018: 1. Dahlin - took a minute, but he’s quite good. 6. Zadina - bust. 10. Bouchard - could be good.
2017: 1. Hischier - solid. 6. Glass - bust. 10. Tippett - starting to inch towards the bust category.
2016: 1. Matthews - could argue he’s the best player on the planet. 6. Tkachuk - awesome. 10. Jost - meh.
2015. 1. McDavid - need I say more. 6. Zach - meh. 10. Rantanen - awesome player.
2014: 1. Ekblad - took a while, but he’s elite. 6. Virtanen - bust. 10. Ritchie - bust.
2013: 1. Mackinnon - elite. 6. Monahan - started out good, but he’s a mess now. 10. Nichushkin - meh.
2012: 1. Yakupov - bust. 6. Dumba - very good. 10. Koekkoek - meh.
2011: 1. RNH - solid. 6. Zibanejad - took a while, but great player. 10. Brodin - awesome.
2010: 1. Hall - great career. 6. Connolly - bust for a top ten pick. 10. McIlrath - bust.
2009: 1. Tavares - fantastic career. 6. OEL - solid player, way overpaid, but a good pick. 10. Paajarvi - very mediocre.

So of the last ten drafts, looks like theres two instances where it would be better to have 6 and 10.

Slam dunk for columbus.
