In a simplistic manner, 10/10.

They used their picks to address glaring needs in the organization.

RW? Check
G? Check
D? Check x2
High end Center? That's a big 10-4!

Size? Oh yeah.
Truculence? Yep x2 (Bollig, Smith)

Sure they didn't take players off of CP's board but they did make the picks necessary to address their needs. That's all I could ask for.

As for guys I am really pumped on? McDonald, sounds like he'll be a contender for the WJC starters role this year, good move.

Smith. Big, greasy RW who has some good upside, no quams here.

Hickey, after listening to Button on the Fan, says one of the best skaters in this draft, plays sound D, will be interesting to see if he ends up being Brodie 2.0.

Mattson, Really really happy with this pick in the 6th, U-17 Swedens Captain, open to coming over to CHL. Buton loves his leadership qualities and IQ. Great value on a 6th round pick. Could be the steal of this draft.
