I would probably have him around the 12 or 13 spot but I don't find it super objectionable that they picked the guys they did.

Have you watched those European guys a decent amount? If so I would very much like to hear your opinion! Personally I have not, and can only attest to their stats and draft pedigree. Schwindt has played NHL games at 20 years of age, I feel like that alone jacks him way above those two at this point.
