After having a day or two and a horrible hangover to think about this draft I quite like it.
Liked:
-Boeser
-Jasek
-McNally trade (getting something)
Meh/don't know enough to have an opinion:
-Brisebois
-Zhukenov
-Gaudette
-Olsen
-Neill
Disliked:
-Lack trade
-No Bieksa trade
I said before the draft in the Benning/management thread that Benning's words don't match his actions. He talks about meat and potatoes and scrums and then goes and gets Baertschi and Clendening. I think this draft reflects it, weird discouraging signs pre-draft in the videos released, then go for skill picks and Russians as well as 'real good' Canadian boys.
I also love the not-serious theory that that photo of Benning looking shocked is when he saw who Boston was going to draft. Bravo to whoever came up with that.
