Wait just because someone states they would have preferred someone else there whining and being crybabies wtf. A person can have a difference of opinion and state it. That is what this board is about

With me i got caught up with Bruke saying there is not much upside in him He pretty much a bottom defense man and the fact we need scoring so bad. Looking back at it now I am happy the defense man we took Bjornfot is probably going to turn out better then Vlasic and we still got Kaliyev who I wanted at 22Yeah, I think that’s what the issue was. At least, it was for me. But all is well that ends well - I was hoping for Tomasino/Kaliyev at 22 and Vlasic at 33, and we got Bjornfot at 22 and Kaliyev at 33.
Bjornfot just seemed like a broken promise at the time. Had we taken someone with less promise at 33, I think I would be pretty bummed about it.

I really have no idea. He's one of the youngest players drafted in the top 33. But he's also not undersized by any means.He looks pretty well put together physically, would you say he’s 1 or 2 years away from the NHL (physically not technically)?
I hope anyone not name Forbort becomes Drew's partner asapDefinitely. It’s easy to be excited and relieved in retrospect. But in the moment, I thought we passed up a potential first line talent for another “high character” defensive project.
With all that said, I’m super excited for Bjornfot and hope he slots in next to Doughty in a couple years!
I think we could have landed Bjornfot at 33 or even further down but our getting Kaliyev sure make me happy. I got to watch 21 of his games this season and he is an O machine and not bad in his own end either. As for his alleged poor work ether I simply don't see it. I have seen him gassed pretty hard and that accounts for some of his "average work ethic" accusers but he isn't lazy or anything like that.
I think he can be a special player.
Okay I have gone to a couple of different players to look for stats on him and I have found him listed as both a lw and a rw Anyone know for sure?

With what I've seen, he's both but is better as a right wing.
To answer a previous question, while I wouldn't call people "crybabies," I do think it's silly people did criticize the Björnfot pick because they passed up on a player like Kaliyev, only to get Kaliyev 11 picks later.
People were overreactionary. Just my opinion.
Actually, if you reverse Kaliyev and Bjornfot (22 for Kaliyev and 33 for Bjornfot) I would say we have a perfect first two rounds.
I guess I am arguing apples and brake shoes. We got 4 great players during the first two rounds, how could it be any better?
Thank god for Richie.
