i do not like this pick at #5. I cannot understand how they could not trade down and get more assets from Philadelphia.
Leonard or Sandin Pellikka (if getting a defenseman was so vital) would have been "fine" too. Taking a guy projected to be Shea Theodore or Ryan McDonagh at #5 just does not sit right with me. Poor asset management (on top of the Newhook trade, especially after seeing what Colorado did with that pick #37).
I had all sorts of faith in Hughes and Gorton up until the last few days.
I hope they prove me wrong.
