Alright we've got two more picks in the 5th, who are we looking at here?

Two names on my board: Disin Mayo, Cody Donaghey. Not sure why everyone is passing on Kulda, raises some flags for me.

Finally some skill, but a 20-year old PP specialist that only gets 15 minutes per game at that age?

Much better players were available, but we had to pick one that was 6'2'' didn't we?

When we pick small guys, people complain that they have no size. When we pick big guys, people complain that they have no skill. When we have no depth in our bottom 6, people complain that we don't develop 3rd and 4th line players.

There are no players left that don't have something wrong with their game. We aren't going to find a 6'2" guy with blazing speed, high hockey IQ, high motor and high skill in the 5th round.
 
#48 still available.

No idea why he's dropping. People doing a **** job scouting the ECAC again.

I was facetious, this organization (and most of it's fans) has an extremely unhealthy obsession with size.

What I meant was that they were seemingly looking for skill, but still passed up more skilled players for one with size.

But Detroit found Datsyuk so we have every right to expect a top 10 center
 
Two big wingers - one a sniper, the other a bruiser

Two goalies - major organizational need

One crease clearing dman - not a need but still a good pick.

Its a weak center draft. They're doing well. Sather's thinking rather than reacting.

The only thing I don't agree with is drafting a goalie with our highest pick.
 
This is why you trade back. Accumulate picks and hopefully get some nice depth.
