From Paul Hendrick:

Brian burke tells me that there’s a good chance they’ll pick a defenceman at 5th overall. Little movement possibility as of now.#tmltalk

Meanwhile, an RDS reporter has suggested the Montreal Canadiens may go with Finnish center Teuvo Teräväinen, who has been doing the reverse-Grigorenko in the rankings the past few weeks, with the third overall pick. If true, that would shake up the order of the top 5.

How do you feel about using the fifth on a defenceman (Morgan Rielly), especially if say, Filip Forsberg, is still around?
