12. (from ; originally ) picked C - Barrett Hayton (Yotes took him 5th overall). Surprised he lasted this long. Figured he'd be gone by the 10 slot. My preferred pick was Evan Bouchard but he was taken a pick earlier. He was the guy I had in mind when I completed my trade with the Avs to move back in the draft from #1. BooYah! those Pens. Hayton is a great pick at #12.
Yes Hayton is solid I was a bit surprised he went as high as he did in the actual draft. That said I was more surprised Zona took him, thought a wing would have been a better call since they are loaded up the middle.Nice Pick Pigs that kid is smallish but close enough to 6 foot and elite playmaking ability.Was looking at Borchard for the Leafs but crow got him. No complaints as I am real high on LW Joel Farabee.
Tough to go wrong with any of these picks. Hayton and Farabee seem like solid choices. I wanted to go D, so I was eyeing Bouchard at #11. Started to look like I was going to flip a coin between him and Boqvist, but then Pigs made the choice for me.
Gotta say this has to be one of the best avg draft times since I've been here
Yeah it took me awhile to pull the trigger on the last one. I passed on some guys I liked a lot, but I took one of my favorite players in the draft.
