A Quiet Draft & UFA Patience Right Call For New York

How many years does Garth Snow have to make trades at the draft? Seems he done a ton more than his counterparts almost every year.

No problem here with using 19h for BPA, and then using four picks Saturday. Less is more.

I like the players alot entering UFA, and in a perfect world would hope they resign but this is the system.

Kyle Okposo would have been my choice to keep of the three, he's the highest scoring winger in another mediocre UFA class.

Nielsen brings many good things, not much five on five scoring, but when Strome, Nelson, Cizikas, Tavares Grabovski (all his concussions at wing) Quine, Bailey all drafted or career centers you cannot keep playing someone out of position (even if they claim it makes no difference) when it does.
