Obviously nobody is gonna really cry over Boeser or Chabot. On draft day those weren't screamingly obvious. If we did this to every team on every draft we could go nuts circling the guys passed on. It's also more than compensated with the likes of Pastrnak, Charlie Mac, Debrusk, Heinen, Carlo and on down the line. They've really smashed the drafts of late, so not gonna cry.
Really Hayes, Belesky, Seguin, Subban and others are far more obvious screw ups.
That said the team chemitry right now is through the roof. They finally found the sort of 4th line that makes everyone else want to try harder. Before it was olds just handed the jobs for being olds. Now they have 3 guys just busting their tails down there.
Scary thing is Sweeney has piles of dry powder for the deadline if he wants to use it (picks in almost every round and prospects). His trading track record is just so bad that I'm just not sure I want him to use it. But I figure as tough as this league is, when you get a shot you better stick your chips in the middle.
