Yeah, I think I would've rather traded the pick as part of a package to get a C/RW if that was an option, but as a fallback getting Bokk seems pretty good. I haven't seen much video of him at all, but he was a low teens to twenty-ish pick on most of the mocks that I saw. He fills a need with a RH RW shot and potentially makes a guy like Kyrou expendable in trade for an immediate upgrade. I really like the pick.MrCrowesGarden wrote:It doesn't seem like Bokk was a terrible pick. I get the want for Veleno, but Bokk was supposedly a player in the 15-20 range by most scouts. Pronman I think had him at 8.
I still am more concerned with how next year's roster looks because without a second line, they ain't going anywhere.
As for Veleno it looks like the reputation of the QMJHL hurt the prospects as all of Zadina/Dobson/Veleno fell.
