Challenge accepted (just for fun, not that I entirely disagree)
Keith 54th - Jamie Benn, 5th round
Webber was 49th - Patrice Bergeron, 2nd round
Lidstrom was 53rd - since he's older, I'm pulling the Adam Oates card (undrafted)
Chara was 56th - Brad Richards (3rd round)
I will agree forwards show their worth far earlier, as defense takes a long longer to develop. But just watching the WJC, its really hard to argue that Seth Jones is under developed - the guy looks like he's NHL ready. And thats nothing against MacKinnon. I wouldn't mind either.
