I voted 9 for 3 reasons:
1) Bennett - best player in the draft IMO
2) Hunter Smith - if he continues to develop like he did this year, will be an outstanding pick
3) McDonald - we needed a goalie and got the best one in the draft (and didn't waste a pick on Demko)
Everything else is gravy.
Only reason it wasn't a 10 was we didn't get a stud D as well (but got a G and an RW in the 2nd round and only had 2 picks, so...)
Also could have been a 10 if we had gotten a 2nd 1st and scored Ritchie as well.
