I liked our first round picks, but I think our drafting… Or maybe scouting strategy is pretty bad overall. And it’s not a unique feeling to this draft.

Yzerman and Draper have reiterated they go with their board, which means these big, not offensively talented D apparently are highly valued to them, which confuses me, since everything about them sounds like bottom pairing.

We are taking these safe, boring players who aren’t going to score goals, when both the Wings and farm system are devoid of goal scorers. I think we should be swinging for the fences more and taking players, that while they themselves have flaws, puck skills and goal scoring not being one of them. There are tons of highly skilled risky players in the 2nd and 3rd, and we took goalies and big D. It feels like they want to win a championship by bunting.

I loved the NDN and Bicker picks, but out of 9 day two picks, we spent wayyy too many ignoring our organizations biggest need. Goals.

Please let’s not become the Carey Price era Canadians. Eventually we need to stop getting out shot every game and start controlling the game like the good ole days, but when our scouts are looking for the next great bottom pairing d… It makes me lose confidence.

I think Draper has spent too much time with Hollands scouting staff over the years, and their bad habits have been ingrained in him.
