General rule of thumb is you don't start to truly evaluate a draft until 5 years out, especially outside of the top handful of pick.
I do agree with Hackey we shouldn't downplay the player the Penguins or Hawks got, maybe they end up being the better player(s) but that doesn't mean we won't get a good player either.
I was all in for Maatta going into the 2012 draft, love Finnish blueliners. But we don't have him, didn't draft him, focus on what we have. Hope he gets back to full health.
