Pears

I think they do need another high pick. They show a ton of heart and can find ways to win games, but I don't think that that is enough to get them to where they want to be. This team still has holes on the back-end especially that get exposed against better teams. Another top-4 dman on the right side and a guy to play on Petey's LW is what they need... but I won't cheer for them to lose just so they get those things. 

I think this team has the tools to start winning very soon and doesn't need another top pick. While the team may not yet be good enough, if Juolevi and Hughes can join the team and make an impact, our team is instantly much better. I'd rather barely missed the playoffs and pick 15th than go on a bad losing skid and pick 7th. Our boys need to feel some hope. Too much losing does bad things to a team.

I'm just hoping Benning finds the next PK Subban, or Shea Weber in the 2nd round.
