Someone mentioned that BT's drafting has been very good, but I don't know about that as the 2015 and 2016 picks are still developing, so it's hard to tell so far.
The first rounders have been no-brainers obviously, but the those 2014 second rounders look to be horrible choices so far - Mason McDonald and Hunter Smith have not progressed and may have even regressed since being drafted. Demko was the more highly touted goalie at the time and looks to be on the right tract still while McDonald has looked worse. We could've had Christian Dvorak instead of Hunter Smith, I know revisionist history, but damn!
So I think drafting is still kind of up in the air for BT, hopefully the Swedish Ds turn out and Parsons, E2 and Manigiapane continue to develop well.
But the coaching hire feels and looks to be a disaster from the get-go.
