I’ll start this by saying that I sincerely hope that people will point to this article years down the road as an example of a writer being 100%, completely, wrong. Totally ass-backwards.
Because that’s how I feel about Steve Yzerman’s first pick for the Detroit Red Wings.
Before I continue, here’s a quick thought experiment. If Ken Holland was still the GM when we went completely off the board to take a defensemen projected to be a top 4 defenseman ahead of players projected to be top line centers or wingers, how would you feel? Because I think that people would be camped outside his house.
