I hope you're right. I just don't trust this guy....too unproven, too raw. But he's what they're going with so let's hope he's a better GM than he appears to be. The 23 & 24 drafts will define him.
Well, he lucked into Bedard, which means he's already rated a little better then average by default.
I want to see what he does with all these draft picks he's accumulated then hyped up thru social media. I'm not sold just yet on his 22 draft and while I think Korchinski is a great prospect he didn't do much developing and is nothing special in his own zone after a year where he was a point machine on an extremely stacked Seattle team that could, right now, slap around the shitty Hawks team KD iced this year. It's easy to trade away every single asset you have for draft picks and ice a complete joke of a team.
Still, this is the draft to tank on. Bedard is a non factor, it's a slam dunk pick, what KD needs to accomplish is at least two more nhl talents with this draft that fit into bedards time line.
I've said all along it remains to be seen if KD knows how to build a cup contender. It's all on him with the deepest draft since 2003. If he fucks this up he needs to be shot into the sun.
