I'm a wings fan and draft junkie; totally understand the full LHD pipeline, but Simashev at 17 I'd go for it. He's lower floor / higher ceiling but has a lot of really great characteristics -- skating, size, transition skills... I think he might have highest ceiling of the D-men this year. If the wings feel he has a decent probability of being a top-pair guy, you take him regardless of who you have. That's a ton of value at 17 and you'd rather be able to trade overflow from your stash of good assets than have no good assets to begin with. Besides who knows what things will look like in 2-3 years at the NHL level.

That said, I 99% think Simashev goes top-15 due to the above. Worth noting Simashev also looked best late in the year / MHL playoffs, which is a classic characteristic of players that mock drafts undervalue but NHL teams adjust based on

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SKWPG</b></div><div>I have But ranked at #15, so WPG getting him at 18 is good. HOWEVER... you have Barlow ranked at 30??? Wow. I have him ranked #9 overall. WPG takes him at 18 if he's available.</div></div>

Yeah haha we'll see if time proves me wrong, but I just never got very excited watching tape on Barlow. I didn't feel like he drove scoring opportunities for teammates and was third man in a lot. I think that showed on him really poorly in the WJC U18s this year where he was disappointing and lowered his stock. But if that tournament was a blip rather than the norm, I will show out to be wrong on this one

But is a player I really love. I think it would be amazing to see someone in the teens take a big swing on him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeROFLCOPTER</b></div><div>I think Wings pass on Dvorsky if Benson is still there. Also think we would take Barlow at 17. Mainly because we need goal-scoring bad.
Willander, ASP, and Reinbacher all going before 17 would stink. If Yzerman doesn't trade up the pick and all of those players are gone, I'd expect him to make a trade for a current RD with that pick as a centerpiece</div></div>

I think Benson is intriguing, but he is pretty far way from the mold of Yzerman / Draper draft picks. Really undersized, in a junior league, on a good team loaded with firepower and boosting points across all top-line guys... all three are causes for concern that affect his projectability in my mind and aren't worth the risk. I would rather go Leonard or Danielson over Benson at #9.
