  1. You can factor into the defensive equation that what happened to Calgary might be relevant to Hughes if he wants to be a Devil in 4 years. And after setting an NHL all-time record for blown multigoal leads surely at some point you have to build tomorrow's blueline through the draft.

  2. Unless the defenseman is a vant miss top pairing dman, you dont draft dmen with a high pick.

    BPA should remain the focus.

  3. what does ''best'' mean? best offensively? best defensively? best goal scorer? best assist/play-maker? best +/- ? best tough guy racking up the PIMs? best hockey IQ? best 2-way player? best defensive penalty-killing forward? best offensive-defenseman? best captain material? best leader in the locker room? best ambassador for the game outside of the rink helping out charities in the community? best shootout/penalty shot taker? best skater? best goalie? what exactly…(*well it depends on what a team is looking for – hence drafting for position, & the best one @ that

  4. They skipped Tchuck for the positional need of defense…. if lesson not learn to draft bpa after that… then you don't deserve to be in management

  5. Willander as top 4 RD is worth more on the trade market than Zach Benson as an undersized top 6 winger. That is my hope for our pick, now that i know we made it 😉 not that i want to trade him lol
