As they show the draft board and talk about the Timo draft

#1) We could've had Rantanen/Barzal? Why has nobody ever mentioned this?!?!?! :sarcasm:

#2) No, Brownie. No. You don't look at the draft and decide you need a forward/d-man. Either you're drafting the NHL-ready talent and the skill level far and away trumps any sort of positional need, or you're drafting for a couple years down the road and there's no point in picking positionally beacuse you can't possibly know what the team will need by that point and again you default to skill. I can't believe it's 2019 and hockey people still have trouble with this concept. You always pick BPA and can sort everything else out later. Position is a tiebreaker only
Have you told the sharks that yet
