Scenario: So lets say we finish bottom 5, and amazingly enough end up winning the lottery, based on Horvat and McCann's play, would you take Matthews, or trade down a couple spots and get Chychrun?
No reason u can't take Chychrun at #1. Honestly I think there is very few bonafide #1 Ds in the league. Doughty, Keith, Weber, to a lesser extent - Suter, Subban, Giordano. I'd take the defenseman every time.
"based on how mccann and horvat play'? well.... how did they play all season long haha if they both are 40-50 point guys, I would trade down to someone who has say, 5th overall and 10th overall.
