Overall, the best word to describe the Panthers’ performance in Vancouver is: okay. Just okay. Nothing phenomenal, nothing crippling. Just… okay. Personally, I am a big proponent of drafting the best available talent, but General Manager Dale Tallon and co. clearly went into the draft with team needs on their minds. A team that struggled defensively and in net invested heavily in their own end with this draft; the Panthers only used one of their first five picks on a forward but tried to stock the cabinets in the later rounds. So how did they do with each pick?
