Personally, I agree with Neo45 on this one. Considering it's our biggest hole, the 2nd round should've been used on Dmen...there were still solid options available.

You can make that argument about almost all picks after the first round. They should have taken defencemen but they took Smith because of his size and truculence, etc. Time will tell whether McDonald and Smith turn out to be astute selections or not. All I can say is that I have been impressed with my viewings of McDonald in Charlottetown and in tournaments.
