Gorton has made some shrewd picks in the draft and is an interesting name, for sure. But just for clarification, Chiarelli had been announced as by Boston as new GM in mid-May 2006, but didn't *technically* take control until July 15. Both Rask and Chara happened after Chiarelli had been named to the post but before his contract kicked in; you have to think he had outlined a very precise plan for Gorton to pursue in the interim period. Especially re: Chara, since Chiarelli was coming to Boston from Ottawa.

EDIT: sorry, July 15, not June.
