then i would sign justin schultz to take care of the offense.

easy!
what if Schultz is no longer available because Calgary signed him?
Anyone else want to take a crack at it? Or should I just have titled it Ceci vs Reilly or Lindholm vs Trouba? All the names seem to be too much for users to handle... I was just trying to make it interesting.

Doubt we land 2nd overall. Assuming we did somehow get it, Murray for sure.
However, more likely scenario is we trade for a pick in the 10-20 range and grab one of Reinhart, Kokkoek, Ceci, Trouba, Rielly.

Reinhart, Reilly, Ceci, Trouba, Kokkoek in that order... however, Kokkoek is the only one I see potentially being available after the 15th pick and I'm not sure we'll be able to trade into top 15.
Reinhart, Trouba and Reilly could all potentially be gone in top 10 and it's quite likely at least 2 will.
