      I would just keep the 8th overall and draft one of the top 3 dmen in this class. Fowler isn't even worth it. Underpaid Risto (not by much but I would say 4.5 is around the lowest they could get him at), paying a lot for a 7th dman who could have a full time position elsewhere, and McCormick is not coming back to the NHL.

      My worry with keeping 8th & just drafting who falls to us is that what if there's only one of the 3 D-men left and we're not a fan of him? Absolutely not worth reaching for a guy at 8, it would put us in a tough position. I also don't see GMTM as a guy who sits back and waits to see if something falls to him... he makes calls to try and trade. It could be for a different D than Fowler, but I think he's actively shopping #8

      if he doesn't like the available dmen he'll just take a forward there. if 2 of the 3 are gone that means at least one of the top forwards are still there (Tkachuk, Dubois, or Nylander). I'd take any of those 3 over fowler honestly and if GMTM is worried about d he can go after one in FA.

      have you seen who is available for D in UFA? Yandle or Goligoski are your two best, and they're both going to get $6m+ deals... I'd much rather have Fowler for $4m

      Fowler was a 12th overall pick. Trading 8th + Franson (who is trash anyways) is really not overpayment. I'm not even certain ANA would accept, I would think they'd be interested b/c 8th is valuable & they have cap problems on D
