I'm not a Darcy basher but that Persson pick was just...unacceptable, and with Nick Foligno staring them in the face...??
I was thinking the same thing when I was watching the draft that day. His father played here in Buffalo and was a popular player and then you have a chance to pick up his kid who was first round talent and you don't pick him? I understand teams draft by needs. But sometimes you have to pick a player you feel is going to be a player in the league and not base everything off you team needs. Here's an example. Not bashing Darcy for this at all but the team felt it was in the best interest to go after size and toughness this last draft. But did we pass up alot of pure talent just to add toughness?
But how talented is our roster now? They have all the talent but not the size.
We get some good grinders on this team with some toughness and size, these talent guys start to open up even more.
I'm all for a Playmaker, Sniper, and a Grinder/Power forward on every line. I'd love for us to get some big guys with great talent also.
This team is full of talent, but they lack the size and such to be real threats sometimes. Because when they are playing very well with their talent alone, it has taken them to games they had no bother winning because of a size difference in some.
our roster really isnt that talented. our team is full of a bunch of third string players with a couple second and first line sprinkled in with an all star goalie backing them up.
wasnt signing Rivet, Montador and Grier suppose to give us the " grit" and "toughness" that we have been missing since Rob Ray played?
