I had Konecny or Boeser for that draft. Why? Because the order hadn't played out yet. It's likely the same for MS here. Without naming his pick at the time it was made, you could continue to criticize his options. Wrongfully. That's not a genuine argument.
So you would have taken Konecny? That's who I wanted.
If the order hadn't played out yet, why did MS say he liked the guy the Ducks took in the 1st round? That was Jacob Larsson at 27.
I'm not criticising his options. I explicitly said there was nothing wrong with every one of his picks. That they were all reasonable and defensible. It's just good to be reminded that it's not so easy to hit every time and just because you get good picks, doesn't mean you end up with great prospects all the time. That calling someone a 'moron' in the context of our prospect pool just isn't a good take.
If you want to call Benning a moron and tear him to shreds for his overall body of work, fine. There is a lot there to criticise. When it comes to our drafting under Benning, the conversation should be much different. Without that nuance, you're just pissing into the wind. And no meaningful discourse will ever take place.
