That's my point. It just so happened that in each of those drafts, when it was Holland's turn to pick in the 1st round, the BPA on HIS draft board was a forward. And that's who he picked.
The idea that Holland was deficient in knowing what his team's needs were and that affected how he drafted is nonsense. That's what I was objecting to.
Also, I thought I read somewhere that Hughes was going to be Holland's pick. Don't recall where. And to save myself the hassle of looking for it, I will just go with it being Bouchard. Either way, it was going to be a Dman.
