Kadri and Grigorenko as top two centers.
Kessel and Lupul as top two right wingers (I guess Lupes will have to adjust)
Nash and Kulemin as top two left wingers.
I am fine with all that.
Grabovski and Connolly as bottom 2 centers equating to 9.5 million 3rd and 4th line.

Grabo ours #two centre. Kadri wont ever play full time C in the NHL again.
Quite frankly if Kadri maxed out at Grabo I'd be happy at this point.
Anywho, some key tank matchups coming up with teams around us that play each other. Cant complain about that.
NYI have a horrific schedule though. Its forseeable they lose 5-6 straight
Brendan Gaunce is the first guy on most lists to be born even close to the GTA. So we can stop losing games or trade down to get him at the draft. As we all know, you cannot have success with any player unless they were born an hour from Toronto. Even if Yakupov and Grigorenko are in our sights, if they become 100PT players it doesn't mean nearly as much as a Toronto-born kid putting up 45PTS and play sound defensive hockey.
Jarmo Kekelainen, one of the best amateur scouting directors in recent memory, said Teuvo Teravainen may be a top 10 pick this year. If he says so, I'm sold.

I think if the choice is between Gaunce, Faksa, or Teravainen, Burke takes Gaunce.

Why? Because he has higher upside? Do you really want to waste time on Euros, Americans, and Western Canadians still? Draft a role-player from Toronto who plays with heart and blocks shots. High-end skill is meaningless if it isn't from Ontario.
