Nothing is a guarantee whether it is 2nd overall or 8th overall.
Detroit fans were pissed when we didnt get 1st or 2nd overall in 2019 - Ended up with Moritz Seider at 6 (would have got him at 8)
#2 Kappo Kaako (3 seasons, 157 games, 58 points) #3 Kirby Dach (3 seasons 157 games, 59 points) #6 Seider (1 season, 82 games, 50 points)
Detroit GOT ROBBED in the messed up version of a draft lottery in 2020, ended up getting 4th overall when we should have had 1st - Got Lucas Raymond
#1 was "future franchise player" Lafreniere (2 seasons, 135 games, 52 points) #2 Quinton Byfield (2 seasons, 46 games, 11 points) - #4 Lucas Raymond (1 season, 82 games, 57 points)
Anyone in New Jersey who says that this is lopsided and they need more is insane. 6 spots in this draft means nothing and i wouldnt even offer this to move up the 6 spots. I think the value in the 1st and 2nd is good enough to hold on to over moving up.
