Adams probably wondered if Benson might go at 12 but just decided to risk it.

Fell in love with Wallinder. They didn't want to risk missing out on him.

You do realize we'd like have been trading up for Benson right?

I don't think it's really worth it drop down two spots where they were. If Benson goes and then Willander we are stuck with someone lower on our list. I for one am super excited for Willander and I accept Benson could be a big scorer. I think finding a top 3 dman is harder than a top 6 winger.

Well as it worked out both teams got their guy. I'm still baffled as to how Benson was there at 13

Arizona may have been a big factor
