I’m still waiting to hear back from Dean Lombardi, who is no doubt decompressing somewhere in Montreal, but here are a couple quotes from Michael Futa and Mark Yannetti, the Kings’ co-directors of amateur scouting, regarding the draft:
FUTA: “We’re really excited. We had a big night (Friday) night getting Brayden Schenn and we built on the momentum today. The day unfolded really well for us. I think the theme of our draft this year was competitiveness. We got a good mix of players with a lot of skill, but they will also be tough to play against.”
YANNETTI: “Things went really well for us today. The first two guys we targeted, we got, and the rest of the draft pretty much went according to our plan as well.”
