Failing that, I'm ok to keep the pick as I'll get a good player but I wouldn't mind trading down for multiple assets so I can fill holes I have on D while still getting an impact forward. If I can trade the pick to someone who loves Laff, I might be able to get a really good forward and two good D which would be ideal.
Again, I'm just testing the waters to see if my value perception of the pick is in line with the general consensus. We'll see if I get some bites.
I think Lafreniere will give you immediate help but it will be less than you'd hope out if the gate. The benefit for your patience should be better than what you acquire in a trade (hopefully).
