What are your thoughts post draft? Are you a doomer and denier of the Yzerplan, or have you drank the Kool aid? Maybe somewhere in between?

    I agree with your thoughts on the drafting strategy. I would like to see a few more swing for the fence boom or bust picks. Especially with the 3 second round picks. More towering defencemen can only do so much when we can’t score goals.

    Edit: I will say I like the goalie pick in the second round

      While I don’t hate the goalie pick, I’m in general not a fan of filling the goalie needs in our farm system by using high picks, if even using picks at all given 1) our general lack of success in finding a good goalie since Howard, and 2) the never ending stream of young third string goalies that get waived all year long. Some of whom are good enough to win the cup.

      Goalies are voodoo, and they would be the last thing I worry about at the draft.

      Even the Cossa pick I was not a fan of. He looks good, but we gave up what could have been two legit scorers.
