Shero: "We did so well the previous year by selecting an offensive defenseman with a weak defensive game that we need to completely rebuild in Joe Morrow, so let's draft his teammate with the same issues even higher this time!"
I remember standing in my living room on the phone with a friend who was also a draft junkie after the Staal deal went down and we both were just giddy with excitement. Our pick came and both of our guys were there. He was saying, "We are going to draft Forsberg!" I said, "We're going to Trouba!" The pick comes down and we sat in silence for a solid 3 mins before saying, "What in the f*** just happened?"
Derick Pouliot was an awful pick at the time and it looks even more awful now with the careers Forsberg and Trouba both have had.
