I loathe the drama after he was selected, but no denying Adam Fox was one hell of a pick.

Yeah, I think it has to be Fox at this point. Getting a future Norris Trophy winner 66th overall was a great pick by the scouting staff.

He's 16th in games played and 8th in points from the 2016 draft.

Even if you had 100% foresight about how things would turn out with him, you still make that pick every time.


Also, despite some people around here acting like including him in the trade was a free toss-in by Treliving, Don Waddell confirmed this summer that the trade wouldn't have happened without Fox being a part of it and assurances from Fox's agent that he'd sign with the Canes.

A terrific pick at that spot. More points than all but 7 players, all of them picked way ahead of him except for Bratt, and all forwards.

Probably goes top 5 in a redraft.

Going with Reichel here. I know he had some flaws in his game, but overall I was a fan. It's not often you draft a two time 40 goal scorer in the 4th round. He also happens to be the Flames player that I have an autograph of.
