We have a lot of similar smallish forward prospects, especially wingers: Coronato, Phillips, Beck, Kerins, etc. And on the big club we also have Johnny, Mangiapane and Dube. The team probably felt Francis wasn't going to be better than any of those above him on the depth chart.
Also probably why we took a guy like Stromgren in the 2nd round last year, who's a big two-way winger, rather than a guy like Stankoven or Raty. I think Stankoven is going to become a better player than Stromgren, but you just can't have too much of the same type of players on a team.
