I had 7th pick in a prospect draft (2012 draftees) earlier this summer, and chose Dumba over Rielly, pretty much for the reasons Eric mentioned. Rielly was selected 9th.
But having seen Rielly and Dumba (Murray too) in person at the Vancouver Subway series game a few days back, I'm not so sure I made the right call. Rielly was just on another level, offensively at least.
As much as I usually prefer multi-cat guys, it's pretty hard to pass up a D-man who can rack up goals/assists/shots like a forward, which is what Rielly could be if he fulfills his potential.
Maybe flip a coin and at least you can't blame yourself if it all goes wrong?
I know you mentioned targeting D, but with 3rd pick I would have a hard time passing on Grigorenko.
