I don't necessarily agree with that they don't need defense, seems to me they don't have much in youth past OEL, Murphy, and Gormley, Hanifin could be the immediate solution for a top pairing defenseman to play with OEL for the next 10 years and an immediate Yandle replacement. That being said, I definitely see the upside to taking Marner, he's an absolute beast and that gives them London's entire top line in their prospect pool, immediate chemistry when they jump to the NHL.
They do need another top pairing guy. OEL is a #1, Gormley, Moore, and Murphy are top 4 guys, but not top pairing guys. They would be hella deep with Hanifin.

However I think the need for a top line C is more pressing than a defender. Marner could be a Getzlaf, only issue being he's only 5'11". But I think him and Domi could really create magic.

Domi - Marner - Duclair

anyone? Godly

Yeah I agree, great upside regardless of if they choose Hanifin or Marner. Can't miss picks.

You don't need two top pair guys to realistically compete in today's NHL. Chicago is the only team left in it that really has that and they're about to be in salary cap hell (not Keith or Seabrook's fault but they do have some big cap hits). Tampa has Hedman and 3 top 4 guys, as well as NYR

Arizona needs a legitimate top forward more than they need (another) legitimate top defenseman imo

and I'm a HUGE fan of Hanifin (BC fan bias)

I was really having a tough time deciding between Prov and Zacha but the Flyers more pressing need is for wing prospects and Zacha is a shoot first, left wing guy. Just what the doctor ordered

Yeah, NJD/Philly are both stocked with young D but lack young forwards with top 6 potential/ability. Hoping that draft day shakes out similar to this so CBJ can grab Provorov :D

If Columbus can stay healthy, I can see them legitimately contending next year. They can definitely win the the Metro if they get Provorov. Stack on 5 other top 70 picks Blink Blink :o

Colorado is in need of a big bodied wing prospect. Lawson Crouse has all the tools necessary to be a great NHL player. He can skate, he has size and his two-way game is a blessing. Maybe he won't be a top tier NHL winger but that's a risk I'm willing to take. He's a smart player, even if his stats don't show it.
