I don't like this.

This isn't a smart defenseman. Fast and skilled, but the hockey IQ isn't there.

I’ll trust the scouts but I really don’t like it. I watched a lot of Kelowna games and korczak easily stood out as the better defenceman.

I think they could have traded down and got him several picks later.
They drafted a position of need. I think he was the best RD on the board

He was a riser and I'm damn sure be wasn't dropping to 32.

Based on who was left on the board I have no issue with it. Would have been as pissed as the rest of you had we picked him over Newhook/Krebs, but there was no one close to that level left on the board, ino.

Thanks for the info.

We shall see how smart the Senators Scouts and Dorion are in the future compared to the rating services you have provided.

It seems they reached far down the list of available players.

Heinola was consistently ranked higher but RD was more of a need. I think it was a factor. I don't think he was straight up BPA but that's just my opinion. How 'bout the dumbass Boberg at 8 :laugh:

Not really crazy about reaching at #19, but we'll see I guess.

Kind of weird he wants leave Kelowna and play in Finland next year.

That worries me, as well. Especially since Kelowna will be in the Memorial Cup next year. Seems strange that anyone who is a competitive athlete would walk away form that opportunity.
