Our off the board picks in the second half of the draft are my favorite thing about the Botts era.

This was a shocking pick. Not in a million years did I expect him to get drafted. I remember he won the award of the best defenseman in Pohjola camp a couple of years back, and at least back then he was described as a puck-carrying defenseman. But I believe that his offensive upside is considered somewhat limited. Again, I don't really know why he was drafted, he wasn't on my radar at all for this draft. I assume they have really enjoyed watching his play recently.

Then again, 5th round is good for a bit of a reach if they see something they like about him.

I hope not - the kid would be close to the 38-40 range - would be better to draft Tsujimotos grandson.
I think Gunner Stahl son is available though or Goldbergs son if we want a goalie.

Another round, at least this time it's a RHD. With our D corps losing steam we can start cutting out the Brycen Martins of the world and bring in a competely new crop.
