I'd kill for Eklund to fall to San Jose but I don't think he falls past Columbus, I also don't think Seattle would pick a goalie second overall because it is way easier to market around a forward, but I wouldn't be shocked if they end up with a few picks due to teams protecting players via trade and take Wallstedt there.

Hughes and Hreschuk...!
Wonder if a team has ever selected a defensive pair together before.
Devils took McLeod and Bastian from Mississauga a few years ago. Closest thing I can think of.

Eklund isn't taken by Columbus because Beniers is still available. I don't see Beniers falling past the top 5. Because of Eklund's size, he falls out of the top 5.

I don't see Wallstedt going top 3, maybe not even top 5. He's great, but it is extremely rare for a goalie to go that high. Especially with Seattle at 2nd, I'd guess they'd want to take a star forward like Beniers, Guenther, or Eklund, ahead of a goalie. I'd guess Wallstedt would go anywhere from 5-9.

Seattle would be foolish for passing on Beniers.
