Daniil Chechelev was picked between them, and he had a pretty good year.

Even if they were focused on a dman with this pick, Michael Benning who many of us were very interested in went soon after to Florida. Benning put up similar numbers to Cale Makar in AJHL and was absolutely dominant. Had a similar 1st season to Makar in college too.
Michael Benning D+1 21 3 8 11 .52 ppg
Cale Makar D+1 34 5 16 21 .61 ppg
Not trying to say he will be as good as Makar but he's tracking fairly well and obviously way superior to Boltmann.
Baffling pick. are there any weird ties to this kids parents anywhere? Otherwise it just really doesnt make sense to me.
