Adding Cuma would set up our D for a long, long time as well. You add Kassian with that 13th pick, WOW.
Foligno/Shepard/Kassian... That would be an awfully tough 2nd line to stop. Literally and figurativly.
we would finally be tough to play against, at least one line anyway, here is the analysis or part of it from hockey futures

As opposed to Brassard, fellow top-flight prospect Sheppard is more of a finisher than a playmaker, with a quick, accurate shot. That is not to say that he does not use his teammates effectively, because he is very willing to dispense the puck, but he is more than capable in doing things himself if given the opportunity. Sheppard brings great skating ability and a strong drive to the net with his good-sized frame. He uses his size to his advantage and doesn’t mind partaking in the physical game, which helps in his creating space in front of the net and in the trenches along the boards.
