from what i’ve read of this draft it is a lot of net driving hard workers. so that makes sense with the only net driving player on the caps being knubble. So he traded a pick that could be used on a player that could be a few yeaars down the road for a 4 rth line hawks player who just had shoulder surgery, and doesn’t have a contract for next year. kinda a bad deal and really goes againsth the whole built with the draft strategy
