As mentioned above getting Brodie and Johnny in the 4th rounds of 08 and 11 are huge reasons the team only had to wait 2 years after moving on from Iggy-Kipper to get back in the playoffs.
Johnny is a very special player who has the potential to be one of the faces of the
NHL for the next generation.
I recall the 2011 draft was all about "working the list". Button asked Feaster if there were 2 players he could keep as wild cards and draft them when he saw fit and those were Gaudreau and Kucherov. Unfortunately Kucherov went 2 picks after we took Wortherspoon. If we would have taken him instead of Tyler we would have a pretty elite top line with Johnny-Monahan-Kucherov
