Nah. Ain’t no way! You would take him over Smith!? I mean, you could, but in my opinion, if Smith is there 5OA, you take him. He’s a good center man. The type of guy that could do very well on Montreal.

He'll go top 10, he's not on the level of Smith though.

Over Smith yes but not over Michkov. He probably won't make it to number 5 anyway.

They should trade number 5 for Lafreniere

Lafreniere is not returning a top 10 pick in this draft yet alone #5

Caps will try to just dump Mantha instead of bringing useless cap back

I get it but I think the numbers are a little deceiving. The competition in USHL isn't quite there compared to CHL, Benson's IQ, deception, and skill are insane. Not to mention the development of kirby dach at center.
