We can see Sunny's vision taking shape with his initial draft. I was hoping for Elofsson at #140, but those pesky Avs nabbed him earlier, so I told myself Sunny traded back due to that development. Had my eye on Lars at #172...then the damn Blues struck again right before us. They seemed happy to get Vanhanen when they did and I loved the next two picks after that. Here's hoping development goes well with this crop!

Yeah absolutely. Clear Sunny wants to be a puck-dominant team. I was all aboard Elofsson and Steiner so it’s a shame they were stolen from under us hahaha. I’m excited about Vanhanen for sure.

I was very disappointed they did not take Belchetz. Thought he would give the Devils a type of player that they do not have in their system. That said... they dont have many guys who have Command's tool kit either. The answer will come in four years when both should be contributors in the NHL

I’m not a Belchetz guy at all. Too many skating and playdriving concerns for my liking, so I’m glad they went with Command. We shall see indeed!

Obviously 16 teams were not either. Time will tell. I also wanted Simas Ignatavicious in round 2.
