That's Landon Ferraro.
And, you know, obviously on the draft itself and, you know, going through this entire process, I think there are teams like San Jose we talk about and they're in a unique position where you could be able to justify picking for a need to some degree because they were not expecting to be there.
They're well along their rebuild process.
They have some players that are already playing at a high level like Celebrino, of course.
And how many chances will you get if you continue on this ascension to have a top five pick again?
Top two pick, let alone.
And as much as, yes, one of these wings can be really exciting, are you ever going to have a better opportunity during the Celebrini era to find a potential franchise defenseman who's 18 years old?
So I think for them, it's a little bit different where you can say, hey, just go for the need because it's a unique situation for you.
This may not be a unique opportunity for Vancouver because you might be picking in the top five for a few years and you're so far away still that to me, don't get too fixated on position, on need, just get fixated on who you truly think is the biggest difference making player.
truly is a center or D man fine just make sure that that's a decision you're making not just saying man we got to take this D because he's a right hand D or we got to take this center because he's the best center in the draft and if you truly you feel like he's going to be a difference maker worth going third overall then take it I think you can just be justified in doing so but there's so many needs this team has that you can't get fixated on one position no and that's what again like I really like Caleb Malhotra right I think he's going to go in the top 10
Yeah, oh, yeah.
He's stocky.
And I am really interested to see what he measures in at.
I think that Malhotra obviously has a projectable frame.
So if you look at it in terms of being a power center or center that's going to be good defensively and have all those other factors that he has the edge there.
But I think Viggo Bjork's more dynamic offensively.
Mm-hmm.
And I do think Viggo's better defensively than he gets credit for as well.
Like, I don't think he's just this all-offense, small center, small wing.
Like, there's a lot there in his game.
