What is the best landing spot for Lafrenière?
We don't know who between Colubus and Toronto would be the last pick so I decided to include both teams for the poll.
Keeper's league, points only, 24 teams league Skaters: 1 pt for goal and 1 pt for assist, Goalie, 2 pts for win, + 2 pts for SO

For him, personally, there is no better spot than on McDavid's wing.
I picked Edmonton, but I was close to picking Toronto. Imagine him with Matthews & Marner?
12 Team Keep 6: G/A:1 W/SO:2
C - McDavid, Matthews
LW - Draisaitl
RW - Marner
D - Dahlin, Morrissey

'24 Picks (16 Rounds) - 1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,5,5,6,6
'25 & '26 - Extra 1st, Extra 2nd
F - McDavid, Rantanen, Point, Aho, M. Tkachuk, Guentzel
D - Bouchard, Dobson, Matheson
G - Vasilevskiy
B -
M - Cooley, Michkov, Perreault, Hutson, Nikishin
if he ends up in the Steel City...collusion.
I picked Florida simply because that's what the instincts said. Then I thought about Luigi's comment on collusion and considered Bettman needing to keep hockey interesting in the South.
But personally, holding the 1st overall pick this year in my draft I'd like to selfishly see Lafreniere in EDM beside McD, WPG because they develop their players best (have you looked how many players they have drafted are in their starting lineup? Crazy!), or TOR although I would be so upset cuz I can't stand watching the Leafs - yet good for points.

Anywhere but Edmonton. Minnesota needs him the most.
I will say he will benefit most from playing in Pittsburgh, the centres there get the most out of the wingers. Id rather not see another first round high pick get wasted in Edmonton.
Toronto or Edmonton would give him a young elite center to play with. I’d love, love, love for Toronto to get him.

Stop talking about Edmonton. They got all the 1st pick during the last 10 seasons, and still eliminated in first round ( was even not a first round).
Toronto will have no money to pay him.
I really think he could make some damage in CLB, with Dubois, why not. Every great F appreciate to play with a great center, and D's who can put the puck on the tape every time. Jones/Werenski are one of the best D duo in NHL, if not the best...

Minnesota - The best spot for NHL equality
Edmonton - The best spot for him personally getting to play with a Mcdavid.
Winnipeg - the best spot for most fans. Not landing on a top team like Pittsburgh or Edmonton, but also not on a bottom team that doesn’t have players to line him up with.
Pittsburgh is clearly the best team in the lottery but yet no one is beaking off about them having a chance to snipe Lafreniere.
