The first three players selected were a no brainer. Nail Yakupov going first to Edmonton, Ryan Murray to Columbus, and Alex Galchenyuk to Montreal. Everything else...I was scratching my head! How did Filip Forsberg and Mikhail Grigorenko fall to 11 and 12th? And what's up with the Maple Leafs taking Morgan Rielly? Don't get me wrong, he's supposed to have a good upside, but if you're a team lacking in the center position, and you already have too many minor league defenceman....why do you add ANOTHER defenceman?
Any thoughts?
The problem is at the 5th spot from what I understand all the best players still on the board were defencemen. That is to say taking a centre with the 5th pick would be too much of a reach.
I'm not crazy about the Schenn for JVR deal though.
