NHL personnel doesnโ€™t go towards the cap.ย 

Right, which is why his question only makes sense from a liquidity perspective and that doesn't seem relevant anymore (if it even ever was truly relevant) for reasons given upthread.

Come on. No one wants to scream about Karmanos? Y'all lazy.

Save the Power selection, I thinkย this was his draft, not Kevynโ€™s.

And he certainly put his stamp on it. Most clearly calculated and interesting list of picks since 2012 in my view.

Adams had said that Karmanos & Fortanย were going to be running this draft, so expect you are correct.ย  But Adams only had 5 picks last year & only 2 that were at spots that players actually have a chance to make the show, so we don't really know much about his philosophy other than he doesn't give C's additional weight over W's and whoever led this effort agrees w/ that.

2nd guy making decisions was said to be Fortan, not Ventura. Oooops.

Some guys on SIrius XM said their only A rating goes to the Sabres... sorry I can't remember who.

Ya, I'd rather the grades be good than not obviously, but we know we can't rely on them as we've scored near the top of these types of lists and "farm system rankings" many many times in the past and not see a correlation with team performance.ย
