Zykov, Sherback and De la rose is still a possibility though.
All in all, I'm not happy with this pick. A first rounder should be considered to be one of your top prospect after one year.
I don't even know if he's top 10 right now FFS
He would've been a perfect second round pick. Not a first rounder. And I know I was excited about him on draft day, just not in the 1st.
But what's the difference if De La Rose was, hypothetically, ranked above McCarron on Timmins' list but they took McCarron first knowing full well he'd be gone by their first second round pick? You still end up with the same prospects.
