I think we did well with our draft overall, but I am concerned that we didn't walk away with at least one slightly more skilled defensemen. That is what I wanted going into the draft. I didn't need four defensemen in the first two rounds, but I did see them as the strength of this draft class. I think next year will not be nearly as strong in terms of defensemen, especially high in the first round.
FWIW I did not expect JBD to be taken that high. I guess time will tell. If we move AA for a strong defensive prospect I will probably feel better about it.
I get you, I’m a big fan of the 3 forwards we drafted, finally got some guys with puck skills like I’ve been asking for with Zadina and Berggren.
But it’s a little bittersweet when we are walking away with McIsaac as our best defensive prospect. I can’t pull up his game log, but I feel like he did have a much better ppg over the 2nd half of the season. I hope he has some untapped offense there, I guess we will find out.
