Breaks the streak of 15 straight picks without taking a D-man.

A 6'4" Russian D playing college hockey. Alrighty.

Not the biggest fan of this pick. Time will tell.

Doesn’t look to have a huge skill set, and I’m generally not a fan of picking big stay at home defencemen in the 2nd round.

...but I’m going to add that I’m optimistic because our scouts have been crushing it for years now. Hopefully he has a big D+1 year.

Is he good? Should I be happy or mad? Hopefully he’s not another Keegan Kanzig

Of the D available this was the one I wanted most I think.

Would have liiked Robins or Finley at forward though.

Russian + NCAA = About as risky as it gets

No offensive upside. Don't like the pick.

Had him 47 on my aggregated list with an average draft position of 64, but 58 from my "trusted average" list. So right in this range. In all the sources I used was as high as 30 and as low as 123 so huge range.
FC in particular had him really low.

I don’t like drafting based on size. It almost never works for this team.
