I'm generally a pretty optimistic person, and the draft looks solid vs consensus rankings for sure.
I do get a little worried when teams take too many falling players though.
That's why I like the Gridin pick before Basha. They went off their list and not the consensus and then still got a player that was supposed to go in the first round with the 41st pick.
My gut says they didn't drop their list and go with falling players though, that doesn't seem to be the make up.
Just landed where it landed.
Parekh is a huge pick ... never imagined him landing in the 9 spot. I thought the big eight would be gone, and instead they had two of the eight to choose from.
Iginla would have been an amazing story, but having him picked before releases the team from the comparisons.
Parekh looks like a video game.
