OK here is the question then. Cons9dering Bennett was a pick they would hve gotten anywy.

Watson was picked with their own 2nd round pick

Was all the noise worth it and did Gimour make a good deal and then use the assets to the best that he could
They only get the pick if they trade or release Domi's rights during the training camp window as a defected player.... I think Gilmour made a good deal and tried to hurry the "Blueprint" along too soon as the team over achieved under Gill and he wasted some of those assets because he and the fans thought last year they had the team to beat. When in reality this year should be their year as the core of those drafted players Mckeown, Bennett, Watson, Diperna would be their 3rd year and have been leading this team since they were drafted.

I am going to surprise you Uncle Buck, I agree with you on the time line for the Frontenacs success from the infamous draft class of 2012. I said a long while back that when these kids are 18 that was when they were going to build momentum towards the next year when that was going to be their best chance at reaching the M cup. Unlike a lot of the posters here including DB who said that they had to shoot for it last year.
