In the meantime, the number of defensemen drafted by Timmins on our current roster: 0
NHL defensemen drafted by Timmins since 2008: 1
So... we start in 2008 to conviently avoid adding Ryan McDonagh & Subban to this list?
Beaulieu, and borderline Tinordi.
Juulsen & Sergachev will play in the NHL

This team has had Markov/Subban or Weber and other solid d-men over that time along with Carey Price and limited to no offence for that same stretch. Why would we draft for D when offence was a glaring need? Not that you should draft for need... but there that is.
I'm no Timmins fan. But if I want to tear him a part for his drafting it would be for his inability to find top 6 talent and his US college fetish.
