Are you asking the guy who watched 2 minutes
- VANTEL

We need to draft a defenseman in the first 3 rounds. Unless JB trades down and takes one in the first 2. I prefer defense here.

I am curious to watch it, but thinking it is one of those movies you watch when you have been into the sauce and are playing poker on your celly... look up every once in a while and are just killing an evening.

I don't know how long Benning was in the Boston organization but their drafting record is not all that spectacular.

You do know that just because you draft 7 players doesn't mean all of them will be on your roster every year.

Seth Griffith in the fifth round looks like a solid pick

There are some good and decent names on those lists. Don't forget that JB did not make final decisions in boston either. Before Demko, I would have loved to have Subban as our prospect Goalie.

You have to remember he was only assistant GM. How many were his picks? How many were Chirelli's? They worked as a team to make those picks.

You do know that if 2 players from a draft year make the nhl it's percieved as a successful draft.

He was there from 2006 until 2013? there was some good names in there and Boston had a pretty established team with little room .

I wasn't stating that he was bad at drafting. Just seems a bit odd. Now's he's traded McCann.

This is where we disagree . When you lead off with the Question how long was Benning with the Bruins because their drafting record is not spectacular , myself and I am sure a few others take it as a dig towards Benning. You are more than welcome to defend your statement that it was not an attack on JB.

McCann was traded for a very good player so it does not remove any of the shine off that Benning drafted 4 NHL players in his first draft
