It's strange because if they had traded up and snagged Robert Hagg, I would have thought it a good trade. McKenzie had him ranked 27th and he played for Ulf this year.
But trading up to grad Dauphin, who McKenzie had ranked 38th doesn't seem worth the gamble. I would have rather stood pat and seen if Dauphin was still there 3 picks later. If not, grab one of Bailey, Carrier, or Nastasiuk and then pick up Bjorkstrand with our 3rd. To me that's a better haul. But I do like what Dauphin brings. Just undersized like a lot of the fliers taken in the 2nd round.
