I totally agree with the OP, getting a top two pick would have put us ahead a couple years on this clear rebuild. Signing Hiller, a very good goalie, was head scratching to me at the time. We trade away players for picks and now we're signing a number 1 or 1a goalie. I don't know which direction we're going here, i hope management does. I think it would have been smarter to see what we had with Ramo, maybe get one of these huge prospects in the draft to add to our already great prospects and then start making moves to improve the team next year. Just my opinion though.
