Another great Yannetti interview

[Statue4Deano]

Good stuff starts about 14:30
Mark goes deeper into past team draft philosophy than ever before. Some topics he hits on including having a mandate from above to come out of the 2019 draft with 2 Fs and 1 D in their first 3 picks. The room being split on Hickey in 2007. Missing out on drafting/developing Nazem Kadri. Tyler Myers being the pick in 2008 until Dean overruled everyone and took Teubert.

Very entertaining interview as always.

Very interesting. Appreciated him explaining that drafting on need vs. best player available was a big mistake with both Hickey and Bjornfot. He’s talked about both players in previous interviews but I hadn’t heard him admit both players were taken over better options because the team was light on D at the time.
