Team A (Balanced) went after two skilled D puck-movers.
• Grabbing Del Zotto cost them the overall points & better SOG that a forward could get at this
slot.
• Grabbing J.Johnson cost them the overall points & better +/- that a forward could get at this
slot.
• Later in the draft they had to make up Hits by taking Dubinsky (whose +/- and general points will
be low).
If you only have one defenseman after 9 rounds, are you taking Del Zotto or Semin?
