Many on here were pretty high on Zykov, me included, I thought he wouldnt be avalaible at 25th when we drafted first and was surprised to see him still avalaible.. Well, not only we passed on him once but we could have drafted this kid with our 36th pick instead of Fucale (who Ive never been impressed with personally) then the pick after L.A. traded up to grab Zykov 37th overall, what is a HUGE steal IMO.. I know many here wanted us to draft a goaltender cause we had none in our prospects bank, but did we draft the right guy? I rather think this draft was based on needs way more than the usual BPA and that we will look back at this draft in a couple of years from now with some regrets.. Fucale was certainly the best goaltender in this draft stats wise, won the President trophey and the Mem Cup, what is impressive, but I rather think Fucale is a product of the incredible hockey machine the Mooseheads were more than a great netminder with incredible upside.. Im impressed with his level of maturity, he looks to have a good head on the shoulder and has a nice personality so maybe Habs brass believe he will progress well but as of right now, thats probably the weakest draft ever for goaltenders if Fucale is indeed the best of the bunch, cause he certainly is extremmely raw and flawed.
So should we have drafted Zykov instead or are you pretty confortable and confident Timmins made the good pick?
