I have a hard time questioning the Bernard-Docker pick after the scouting staff basically forced their way into drafting him. At the very least, you have to admire that kind of confidence in the kid.
Like others have said, the draft is like the only thing this organization is good at, and all-in-all I think we did a really god job, especially with the trade-back to pick up a 2nd rounder which turned into Tychonick, who fell pretty late and was a fantastic value pick.
Zadina vs Tkachuk... well, I guess all we can do is wait and see at this point. Two completely different players. Tkachuk will be the more valuable/irreplaceable guy if he hits his ceiling, but who knows how much more development he has in him. Could be a home run pick, but could also be fools gold. At least we didn't pass over Zadina for Barrett Hayton.
Craig Button's Analysis
"Tkachuk is a lot less refined and less polished than the other elite picks but the big raw-boned winger plays a hard driving, aggravating power and agitation game." - Bob McKenzie
Projection: Top Line Power Forward
Comparable: Matthew Tkachuk
