If Shinkaruk hadn't dropped this is the guy I wanted at 24.
Top 6 potential for sure. I thought Edmonton trading out of that spot was incredibly dumb.
At the time I was disappointed because he is exactly the guy I wanted at 37, but MacT turned that single pick into Yakimov, Slepyshev, Houck, Platzer and Muir. The latter two haven't impressed, but Houck has been solid on a sub par Giants team and the two Russians both had better WJC than Zykov and are holding their own in the KHL. You can make a case for Zykov still being the better prospect than anyone in that group, but I'd hardly call the move "incredibly dumb."
