Arguably they may haven taken the wrong dman. I heard a rumour EDM would've taken Sergachev if Puljujarvi hadn't fallen to them. McAvoy and Chychrun look solid. But yeah mostly I was trying to explain the rationale in them passing on a winger when they had players fairly closely ranked.
Worked out great for us, I really wanted Tkachuk the whole time. And seems like VAN has screwed up multiple high picks lately which is also great for us.
