tough to judge the NHL compared to say the NFL, where kids are 20-21...
that said, getting Tkachuk was a pleasant surprise, though i really agree that i think Calgary would have picked Keller if the draft went how people had speculated it would.
Elliot was a great pick up with a 2nd though i wish we had been able to keep our second and gave them one of our later 2nds...
otherwise, i had hoped we'd have picked up a Bitten or Pu with one of the seconds instead of the goalie... otherwise, don't know enough about those later picks to make an assessment.
i do think its interesting that Calgary didn't change philosophy and specifically pick size... very happy about that
