Other than that...
Gustafsson went to Washington exactly like I predicted.
Markstrom went #31 to Florida, not as high as I thought he might go.
Of my piles of late round picks, most of the North Americans were drafted.
Nicastro went to Detroit at #91.
Vinny Saponari went to Atlanta at #94.
David Warsofsky #95 by St. Louis.
Taylor Stefishen went #136 to Nashville.
None of my obscure Swedish specials in those last 2 rounds got drafted this year.

I heard about that with David Carle, that is really sad. It is good news that a number of your later picks were taken by teams that have a very good drafting record. Detroit, St. Louis and Nashville all know how to pick their guys.
And you got both Markstrom and Gustaffson so you are obviously pleased with that. Looks like a pretty successful draft Matt.
