Right now we have Brodie as a great #3 or adequate #2. None of the other D are showing similar upside as of right now.
It's just a lost opportunity to at least throw a couple names in the ring as possibilities is all.

Pretty slim chance that we would've found a top pairing defenseman in the 2nd round of this draft. Even Fleury the second one taken this draft is looked at as a 2nd pairing guy. Why would we believe any of the guys in the 2nd would be top pairing guys? That's just a fantasy, wishful thinking
