Glad I didn't say anything in this thread.
No idea what the Jones trade has to do with drafting a defenseman at 32. You need six he's not a goalie.To be fair it was understandable to not be happy with Bowman/Kelley drafting and expect this to have been another disaster
Also, the whole trading for Jones and contract extension soured situation at time as well for some
He pick was part of the trade.No idea what the Jones trade has to do with drafting a defenseman at 32. You need six he's not a goalie.
Wasn't Allan projected to be drafted in late 30's thru 50 range?
Not that much of a reach taking him at #32
Also, since being drafted he has won a gold as part of Canada's WJC so it's not like his stock as a prospect has declined since draft. If anything, he is looking more and more worthy of being drafted in 1st round
Yes but we traded pick 12 and a future first at the time when this team wasnt close to being a playoff team. Stan felt that the team over performing in 2021 in a division only season meant that they were a jones away from contending which fans knew already there was a lot more work needed to be doneNo idea what the Jones trade has to do with drafting a defenseman at 32.

Who would you guys have picked with that 12th pick though? Looking back so far maybe Zac bolduc would be worth it or sillinger if he turns it around. Jones provides more value on the ice as of now the only thing that makes it close is cap hit.Yes but we traded pick 12 and a future first at the time when this team wasnt close to being a playoff team.
