I love the black jerseys. We should go back to having them as our alternates imo.

Every pass made by that 2nd unit was to a player who wasn't in a shooting spot or position. Not hard to defend that.

As I said ~10.....Pettersson, Glass, Necas are my favorites. And they could all go before then, maybe Pettersson top 5. It's possible, probably in that order of likeliness. I like Vilardi a bunch, but if we had to trade up for him, but could stay tight and get one of those 3, I'd stay tight. Gap isn't big, if there's even a gap. Mittelstadt is the other forward in the top 5 or 10 range, but he's a winger if that matters, and I'm not sure I view him as on some different tier either. We don't get any of them? Tolvanen or Andersson would be a nice consolation prize. I have Yamamoto ranked with them, but he won't go there (that's why I'd trade up for him in a heartbeat with our 2nd).

Using our 2nd, at either ~40 or with a trade up, I'd love to get one of these guys: Yamamoto, Robert Thomas, Alexei Lipanov, Jason Robertson, Anderson-Dolan. There's others, but those are my favorites, and I have all in my first round. I'd trade up back into the late 1st for the first two because you'd have to, I gather. I have Yamamoto right now around top 10, and Thomas top 15-16, so I would absolutely love to use all those 3rds to trade up. Depth is sound; add oomph.

Necas, Glass, and Vilardi are probably my favorites within our "range". I don't know much about Pettersson but you seem quite comfortable with him so I'd be fine with that pick as well. I'd prefer Tolvanen over Andersson but as you implied, either would be a decent consolation pick. I do think someone will surprise you and pick up Yamamoto in the top 15.
