Anyone over Campbell would be better. I like Fabbri and was hoping we'd take him, but im still very happy with Honka. As for Gurianov its still early and he does lool like he'll be in the NHL, whether hes a top 6 or bottom 6 is another question.
Tufte I dont know anymore. Its hard to watch other players doing well that were picked after him, but hes still very young. Nill should have traded back 4-6 spots and grabbed an extra pick, probably still could have gotten Tufte
It sucks not having a prospect of ours being some kind of an impact at the world Jr's
I was still very pleased with the Honka pick. I had him ranked 12th, and the move made sense because we needed a righty D in our system badly at the time. Who knows? Honka vs. Fabbri could be an interesting debate in a few years, and possibly for a long time coming if Honka develops into a top pairing D. Nonetheless, I thought at the time, and still do think that Fabbri was less the risky with just as much upside or more than Honka.
Gurianov will be a player for us, but Barzal would be the heir apparent to Spezza for #2C, with the potential to perhaps one day be a #1C. To me that's hard to pass up.
