If JB picked him, he would've been destroyed by people wondering why they wasted a 1st round pick on a guy that was 165 lbs or so when drafted and a euro instead of a good Canadian kid like McCann. I know you're not blaming him, but I'm sure there are a few that do. It just goes to show how difficult it is to draft a gem as you just don't know how their play will translate to the NHL. The hindsight game is never fun and I'm sure Boston may be feeling the same pain in the year we got Boeser because they had 3 1sts in a row.

And who knows, McCann may yet develop into a very good player. I do wonder though, had Jim been hired a year earlier and had his full scouting team in place what decision he may have made. One thing I really like about Benning is how he goes to Europe and scouts guys in person as a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When teams sign these depth players it doesn't mean anything, don't look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
