Nope I made my mistake Big Buff can have it

I'm not sure why its taken so long for Fleury to be taken. If you told me I could get steady play at the game's most important position for 18 years from a top 5 pick, I'm jumping all over that.

Buff
Burns
Carter
Parise
Richards
Fluery

 

[I am not exposed]

I'm not too sure when the narrative changed for Fleury but it wasn't that long ago he was ridiculed as a player who couldn't stop a beach ball. And was replaced by Murray on the Pens. I assume it was when he went to Vegas and became a media darling. He's a decent goaltender who has been very lucky to play on some good teams. There are a few players currently on the list I would take over him.

Brunt

For how good this draft was, it's interesting how many of them fell off a cliff at a much earlier age than might have been expected.

I went back and forth between Burns and MAF.
