Hit the nail on the head. Draft class was skewed by how many d went in the top 10 and I recall the commentators surprised how the forwards slid. I guess the scouts did their homework.
Not to derail the thread but we were probably better off holding onto 14 and taking our chances with Girgensons, Ceci, Hertl or the TB goalie. One of those years where you hold your pick and take the bpa. Trading down for Sieloff probably won't pan out, due largely to his health struggles. But acquiring additional picks in a weak draft is a poor strategy. Hindsight is 20/20 and feasters gang was in love with Jankowski and may have picked him at 14 for all we know. That draft just makes me glad we have the management team we now have.
