I've never paid much attention in the past, never have I watched a draft, but Dev's pick #4 in this draft, their highest since drafting Scott Niedermeyer #3 back in 1991, so im into this one.
I think Dev's need to go D-man again this year. supposedly there is a big talented swede defensemen that could be around at #4, I think his name is Larson, that's who Im hoping for.

yeah I jumped ship after Dev's pick. Perhaps I was excited because I knew I only had to watch 4 picks.
Got jipped a bit cause they went to commercial after the pick, and thus no interview with the kid.
But I think this really sets the Dev's up very well going fwd. though they had a nightmare first half of the season, they closed very strong, and that was without Parise. He'll be back(final year of contract so if he does not resign this offseason, that will be a constant story) add Larsonn to the mix that already had a couple talented young swedes(fwd's), and I think dev's are right back in the mix of the elite.
Though I maybe rushing Larson a bit. Not sure if they expect him to play here in the states next year.
