See the salary cap issue?
You alter that draft, every draft after is altered, maybe they don’t get Mac the next year as standings are altered and other teams needs change because of this draft being altered. You alter all the free agents signed since.
Chabot might have been used as trade bait as he would have been buried in the AHL being behind Chara/Krug/Grizz. He would not have had the same opportunity or as quickly as he did in Ott.
Boston’s top 6 C’s were set for years, they were not looking at C at all. If they had would Barzal developed as quickly in Boston? He would have been a 3rd liner playing with terrible wings, his offensive game is as a playmaker, tough to do that playing a defensive role with stiffs as linemates.
The only really bad pick was Senyshyn. They should have traded down with that pick if they were not taking the best player on the board. Rumor has it they tried to.
Had they taken one of the above or Boesser in place of Seny, and Hintz instead of JFK in round 2 it would have been a great draft. Instead it’s considered a failure despite drafting 5 NHL players with their first 7 picks.
