If memory serves, you were suggesting the Devils select Adam Benák in the 2nd round, so to see him available in the 4th round, and have the Devils not select him must have been disappointing. Also, when excellent drafting teams like Carolina and Dallas take players you projected for the Devils, that hurts too. If its any consolation a few years from now, you may get the chance to type, "I told you so". I do the same thing with Holtz/Rossi and Zacha/anyone else. Hoping I won't get the chance with Cooley/Nemec. Nemec was my 2nd choice, so can't pat myself on my back too much

Yeah, Benák was actually the first guy I wrote about. Big believer in his toolkit.

I’d definitely rather say “I’m so glad we drafted this guy” than “I told you so” too hahaha — the Cameron Schmidt pick in particular stings a looooot. Let’s hope Nemec kills it this year 🤝
