The drafting of Gaudreau, Brodie, even Monahan when guys like Horvat and Ritchie were highly touted, and a guy as recent as Mangiapane in the 6th round are why I'm comfortable with our scouting staff moving forward. Tod Button, Jim Cummins (scouts the USHL) and the retired Tom Webster deserve credit for recognizing talent and potential even late into the draft.
