Can't comment on the pick itself, and overall Timmins has consistently led one of the better draft rooms in the league, so I tend to trust his approach....
But unless they felt strongly that another team was this high on him, yet another fail at the GM level...
Its like MB has no concept of what the role and no ability to strategically manage his assets.... When you know you're going off board, you work the phones and move down to add assets in the process. Pretty simple, too complex for him it seems.
