Monahan has been fantastic, and I think Baertschi has been good. So far they both look to be solid picks.

Gillies and Gaudreau are absolutely tearing up the NCAA

Several professional hockey analysts have practically gushed in print media and radio about Sieloff's potential to be a sure-fire NHLer.

This year's other two first rounders are having great seasons.

What's not to like? I know it's really but things could be a hell of a lot worse.

What sorts of results did you realistically expect to see at this point? Feaster has overseen three drafts with the Flames, and has only once picked in the top-ten in that time. I understand the call for measured optimism, but to be fair, I think that would at minimum translate into a "wait and see" response, and not open pessimism.
