I'm just a little pissed about no RHD, which is our biggest need and there were plenty.

But I'd give the draft a C. Bennett was great, MacDonald was okay but many people I'd rather have. Hopefully Smith becomes a Kyle Clifford or Dweight King but again I'd rather have Kase or Magyar at RW or other RHD. At 64Hickey is good but LH, we need righties (I know I'm sounding like a broken record). Bollig trade is meh. Prefer Thomas over him but. I like Mattsson and not sure about Carroll.

Worse than 2013, 2011. Around as good as 2012
