It's a very odd point.

It read to me more like, ‘Cool the jets on this genius talk.’ I agree. It doesn't take a genius to tear a team down. The real test will be building it up again.

San Jose has had pretty solid drafting all down the line. Not sure who remains there from previous regimes, but if it is long term guys pushing for the 11th, they have earned the benefit of the doubt.

They also got a free 2nd from Detroit. So basically a thank you to Yzerman for being able to move up 3 spots.

They’re likely going for Eiserman or snagging the last of the 6 D.

Interesting how this played out.
Got one of the big name defenseman and they were all gone by 14. Looks like the trade made sense.
