I guess where you think the pick will be will have a lot to do with whether or not this deal works.
I like Scheifele. He was a man in the Subway series and just about forced Winnipeg to keep him past nine games last year. Once he gains some lbs/strength I think that his mind and skillset will definitely allow him to reach 70 pt potential. Winnipeg will offer him every opportunity to succeed as their #1 center, so as far as gamble's go, I like the acquisition.
Like I said initially though, the pick is the make or break piece for me.
