I think you and New Era posted some pretty ignorant stuff about Tkachuk leading up to the draft. I think its fair to point it out. Here's some of your gems

You don't win cups stocking up on role players. Agree to disagree, I know I'm not the only one who just sees a role player in Tkachuk.
And for the record you had him at #11 which was laughable considering 90% of the scouts Bob Mackenzie talked to had him top 5. I think stuff like that should be called out. There was some irrational disliking of Tkachuk prior to that draft by a vocal minority. Curious if you two wanted to continue to defend your points or if you feel you were completely wrong. You both argued pretty hard against Tkachuk.
