Really wanted Bellows (nothing against Fabbro, just don't trust 1st round D) but we did need to replenish the D pipeline.
Oh well, time to watch that video and convince myself he's the next Shea Weber. Poile and co. know how to draft defensemen.
Lol everyone griping about drafting the only college kid that would sign here then wanting Bellows
The fact that he loves Nashvile is a big plus for me. Again, I have no issue with the pick, I just really liked the idea of adding Bellows. No doubt Fabbro is a great pick too and hopefully he pans out.
Bellows would have been more of a risk to go UFA. Fabbro actually wanted to play hereSums up my feelings as well. Getting a goal scorer just under Laine seemed like a better idea to me. Could've gotten a d man with later picks.
every one wants the shiny new toy. for some reason people tend to think 1st round forwards all have the potential to be crosbys or even filip forsbergs. our defense cupboard is bare. we took the BPA according to all reports I've read. great pick from the little bit us armchair GMs know. poile has my trust with defenseman.
Well heck, all the players that could have been available to the Preds at 17 were available. They had their choice among them including a LW, RW and C. And they picked a little Dman who's going to college in BOSTON. Wow, I'm underwhelmed.
