Thread: Welcome to the Ottawa Senators Zayne Parekh
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>It’s positional needs. Dickinson is good no doubt, but I would rather Parekh. Having Sanderson-Parekh would be nasty. Both defenders will be very good, but getting a high end RHD is way more valueable than a high end LHD… anyways, they already have one in Sanderson.</div></div>


In leagues like the NFL, yes, you draft depth chart and positional needs with high picks. In the NHL, top 10 picks are best available player. Dickinson and Parekh are 2-3 years out of being impactful at the moment. A lot can change in that time. The RHD issue needs to be addressed via trade and free agency with where this team is at to take the next step next season. Stock pile RHD prospects with later picks if that’s an area of concern.

Both are great, but Slaf clears him 100%</div></div>

I’m not trying to troll, so I should have added more context.

Slaf is a sure fire top line player and as a Sens fan I’d love to see him on our squad. He’s going to be the highest point getter the Habs have had since Kovalev.

However, Cooley is better and more complete. I will concede that Slaf is more physical. But in terms of long term impact, Cooley becomes the better player in my opinion. Though it’s close, I don’t think the Habs were wrong to take him 1, though it was surprising.
