Why do it the same day too? One week before at least.. IMO
Probably to get the free television exposure on TSN on draft day.

Interesting take from Wheeler.
I certainly get an argument based on the difference between the sens high end offensive prospects and the available players and the sens high end defensive prospects and Sanderson. That said I’d argue that the sens defense prospects don’t include an elite defender with size capable of shutting down opposing stars. We’ve also seen how much an elite transition defender elevates the offensive production of the entire team. The sens could have high level transition defenders on the ice the entire game with this pick up.
You also have to add that the sens are building a team that is hard to play against top to bottom, and self starters with high character. From what I’ve read, aside from Rossi arguably, Sanderson is the player who best fits that style.
I was on board with two forwards but there are significant benefits to taking Sanderson there. Rumour is the sens list had him at 4, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Wheeler is awful.
