The 2 most recent drafts are silly to assess. '18 and '17 would be silly to assess at this point, too...all we can say is that our one legitimate prospect from it remains a question mark, and that Ruzicka looks somewhat promising.

It’s a clear mistake in hindsight but that’s way more about how Hanonic turned out than the actual decision. Treliving thought he was getting someone like Tanev, and a top 4 D of Hamilton, Gio, Tanev and Brodie for those years looks darn good. Maybe it moves the needle some.
Im not really concerned about a rookie D having the issues Valinaki has had. Look at Hanifin’s numbers from his rookie year and look at him now.
