Like the Stars draft. Would've preferred a RHD like Chesley in the 1st over Bichsel, who looks to be somewhere between Oleksiak and Hakanpaa, but will take it. Our prospect pool had very little in the way of defensemen and was loaded at forward (to where when I was doing ACGM's, I couldn't fit everyone into the NHL roster over a 3 year projection) so 4 defensemen may seem excessive but it was the right call. 3/4 of them are RHD, where Cecconi is the only young RHD we have outside of Heiskanen. The sleeper goalie pick was nice too. Increases the odds that between 3 of them in the system, one of them might become an NHL caliber guy behind Oettinger. The final pick of Stankoven's line mate in Kamloops was nice too.
I realize I'm a homer because the Stars are my favorite team, but I think they have a top 5 prospect pool right now. If not top 5, at least top 10 with Johnston, Stankoven, Bourque, Dellandrea, etc.
