I don't understand how a team ending up with an overwhelming amount of picks that address a current need can be taken as evidence of a BPA strategy.

- That's the word from the organization. Basically shrugging and laughing incredulously and saying, "I swear we're not doing this on purpose!" Point is well taken though, I didn't even really think about it when typing to be honest.
- I was very fortunate to be able to go over lots of game footage and not depend on others (though, I like to try to take in the opinion of people that I trust who follow these leagues closer than I do, of course) for information. That's the reason why the article is one of the last ones up. I spent a good amount of hours in the film room on these guys. Sans the Swede and the other Finn...I'm coming back here with information on them when those countries return from vacation. Getting info out of my sources in Sweden and Finland at this time of year reminds me of the scene in My Cousin Vinny when he's explaining why he's wearing that ridiculous maroon suit...
"This town doesn't have a one hour cleaner so I had to buy a new suit, except the only store you could buy a new suit in has got the flu. Got that? The whole store got the flu...."
Just no one is around...
- My thoughts exactly. I see a lot of second-hand sources speak highly of his decision-making and hockey sense. I think that's a little bit of "whisper down the lane" or something. As noted, I'm surprised that's considered a strength for him.
