Obviously if they get 1st overall, Dahlin is in the bag.
But if MTL don't get first, who should be their target? if they get pick #2-4, I don't know if MTL should take one of the Elite wingers (Zadina/Svechnikov/Tkachuk). They are all left shooting forwards, something MTL clearly have a lot of already. Do they take a Dman? again the top dmen this draft after Dahlin are Right Handed guys (Boqvist, Bouchard, Dobson)..something MTL has in abundance even down the depth chart (Weber, Petry, Juulsen, Brook, Fleury).
I'd like to add that I'm not a huge fan of Hughes, sure he's offensively skilled, but there's still a small part of me that looks at his size (5'9'') and doesn't have that much interest in having MTL's top left handed dman be Mete and Hughes... it would make things too one-dimensional.
Should MTL then trade down? and perhaps target someone that fits a team need (Wahlstrom RW/C, Veleno, Hayton, Lundestrom).
