Ramholt hurts even more because the 2003 Draft was amazingly deep and Shea Weber was available in the second round, ten picks after we selected Ramholt (because we already picked Phaneuf in the first round I wonder if that impacted who we picked in the second round). Patrice Bergeron was also available with that pick as well.

The most puzzling thing about it all is Sutter was seemingly focused on big strong WHL players and was weary of soft Euro players at the time.
The fact he grabbed Ramholt there has puzzled me for years.
