Gaudreau was all Button/Cummins, I doubt Jay even remembered his name until draft day.
Monahan was a no brainer at 6 but the group did have him 3rd behind Mackinnon/Jones. Feaster
really wanted Mackinnon.(duh) In hindsight Monahan might have been the best of the bunch.
In the 2012 draft, Weisbrod asked Feaster months before the draft to take Jankowski unless they somehow picked in the top 10. He truly felt Jankowski would be a great player if given time, Jay sent Cummins to have another look, he came away very impressed and the rest is history.
Cummins was a big influence in that draft for the group, Besides Jankowski, Sieloff, Gillies and DeBlouw were basically all on him.
