F A N said it, so it must be true.

I'm pretty sure Robert's post wasn't directed at me.

Hard to believe Benning ever had the rope to blow 3 of 5 top 10 picks, and trade another.

Instead of getting credit for Hughes and EP40, people should just be thankful he didn't blow or deal those picks too.

I don't see why a GM wouldn't own his entire draft record with the exception of his first year where a new GM wouldn't typically get a chance to provide instructions and guidance to his scouts and change the personnell if needed. Ultimately it's his draft record.

Podkolzin was a reasonable pick. One that they got wrong (with Boldy sitting there). I don't blame them for not picking Caulfield if they had size concerns. There was and is zero indication that Brackett favoured or pushed for Boldy, a player that one would assume Brackett would be very familiar with given his MA roots.
