    Ill be honest, I dont know much about his draft record in Tampa. As for this pick, I was just read Bob Mackenzie's rankings and he had Edvinsson 3rd, so its not like its some kind of reach.

    *edit* I didn't realize you guys already discussed this lol.

    its ok!  Im pretty sure we have covered topic twice in the past.

    Taking defensemen with prime picks is actually the one area where I'm not so sold on Yzerman, given his iffy record on that front when he was in Tampa.

    But, yeah, this isn't one of those picks that makes you scratch your head and wonder what they were thinking. Edvinsson was definitely going in the top 10. More than a few people felt he was worth taking in the top 5.

    McKenzie had him 3.  I trust that dude.

    RE: SY "Which other goalie?"

    It may have also been just making a mockery of the fact that the media only focuses on potential first-round guys. It may have not been so much a tongue-in-cheek about Cossa being their guy, as much as "please name the player because we have 24 goalies on our list".  I wish the Twitter video was through SY's actual answer.

    I literally said "but what the f*** do I know?"... And from that you take that I think I know better than Steve Yzerman? LOL

    So you've seen Yzerman's list, I take it? He obviously had "your guy" ahead of "my guy"...

    Who are you to say that he drafted either of those guys based on position? He could have had Edvinsson top 3 on his list, followed by a bunch of wingers. He could have had Cossa top 10 on his list. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Yzerman keeps talking about best player available, but you think for whatever reason, he's drafting based on position, despite his first pick being one of our areas of strength. 

    Not at all a "big old loss" for me. I don't love either of the picks, but I completely trust Yzerman knows what he's doing. I would say he's earned that...

    Why dont you like these picks?  We got a 6'5" 18 year old dman that plays with his head up and a 6'6" athletic goalie.  You should be fired up.

    Future defensive depth chart...

    LD - Edvinsson, Johansson, Wallinder, Viro, McIsaac, Sebrango

    RD - Seider, Hronek, Lindstrom, Tuomisto, Barton

    Looking pretty solid...

    Do you think we hang on to Leddy?  Or trade bait?

    Cossa was pick 14, btw.  booya

    A lot of good forwards still available... Another trade up?...

    would love to see it.  we have so many "Top 6" forwards, which means we dont have any cup contender team 1st liners.  I'd be ok with packaging Bert and our 2nd (38) for pick 21.

    You must be pretty disappointed that neither of our first two picks have addressed our biggest organizational need...

    Kind of hard to address Hart Trophy Winner and Norris Trophy Winner with picks 6 and 15.
