Disappointed that we didn't pick Barbashev but this sure isn't this kid's fault, so welcome to the organisation!
I am going to be accused that I have an aversion towards foreign players, but that is 100 percent incorrect.
We just have way too many soft, me first European players in the mix. Very few can project to the NHL style. Copying Detroit just doesn't work.
Murray is finally drafting players we so needed badly, and that is North American players, which is something this team lacks. Reiger had this fascination with European players, players who are mostly me first players.
Thank you TM.
Thank God Barbeshev was not our pick.
