While I agree that there were better picks out there, we just don't know what those players are going to turn out to be until they get some NHL ice time. Ronni was never going to be a top 6 forward in Calgary imo. But I still think he's got what it takes to crack an NHL roster in his career.

I totally agree with most of what you’re saying. A bottom 6 shutdown center would be a great outcome and I would be very happy with that.

My issue is that you should be drafting for top of the lineup players in the second round, not bottom six and bottom pairing guys.
