King Heffy Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 One of the few decent picks of the Gillis era, unfortunately wasted with a terrible trade. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, pretty vomit inducing. Those drafts are a big reason Benning was forced to go out and make trades for players in the 23-27 year old range. We had so many holes because of weak drafts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are complaining if Benning drafts a second liner. The idiot he replaced had multiple drafts where he couldn't draft a single NHLer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judd Brackett is the guy who turned our drafting around, who was a Gillis hire. Also take into account Gillis inherited the drafting system, waited a couple of years to analyze, and started improving. One area he identified was the drop in development when we lost the Moose (great relationship) and then got the Wolves as an affiliate. He was instrumental in the Canucks buying the Utica Comets. Props to Benning for promoting Brackett to chief scout. "Whether or not the general manager is involved, the burden of selecting amateur players in the draft falls on the chief scout, or whatever title the person has that's in charge of the entry draft" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
