I still like Kuznetsov-6pts in 16 games is still pretty good for a 19yo D playing college, and he was drafted to be more of a two-way puck moving guy anyway. I was a bit upset that guys like Sebrango, Niemela, Hunt, Cormier, and Viro were left on the board for D-men in order to take him though.
I still have no clue what they were thinking with Boltmann-if they liked him so much, they could've probably taken him later. Joni Jurmo was taken 2 spots later, which may come back to bite us in a few years. I don't see his allure now, and I didn't see it on draft day.
