At first I was somewhat on board with trading Strome, but seeing his chemistry with Kane and Nylander, along with his chemistry with Debrincat, I think we should try not to move him. He's really figuring it out here. I know, that line is definitely driven by Kane, but we've seen worse lines with Kane on them. For me, this leads us to either drafting Sanderson or Askarov. If the FO is confident in Suter, then essentially we have no place in the top 9 for a forward, and maybe if they are as confident in Kalynuk and Beaudin as they are saying, they draft the goalie. Sanderson is probably the pick I go with (if he is even available there) but I wouldnt put it past them to show too much loyalty to the current group of guys. Also as far as lundell goes, I know he's a pretty solid option and unlikely to truly bust at this point, but I think with the group of guys we have, upside is the best bet, so if we wanted a center either a guy like Mercer or Holloway, or if we wanted a winger I would go with Quinn.
