It's kinda nice that the guy we got ended up being exactly what we needed, though I wouldn't balk at Barkov either.

There was a reason Barkov went #2. No chance we were grabbing him at 6. All of the top five were definitely flashier picks, so I understand why some posters were disappointed. Monahan was, as you say, the no brainer.
