I remember the 08 draft was heavy on D-men and I was high on quite a number of them and could never figure out why a team would draft forwards if there were a disproportionate amount of defensemen available. 3 of the next 4 d-men taken were John Carlsson, Slava Voynov and Roman Josi. Hamonic and Marco Scandella were 2 of the 4 taken after Wahl. It was those types of players I was hoping for, not forwards. They did get Brodie though, so it wasn't all bad.
