Trust.
I agree the Blues are good at this. The results for the past several years show it. It is interesting to see how well Army manages the process and the group. I imagine Feltrin's team does most of if not all of the detailed work.

Right, Barone.

Let's not get insight messed up with hindsight.

The Blues put this out. They don't have to.

But, guaranteed, every other team is haggling over picks. Not unique to the Blues.

The deal is - we're pretty #$%@!& good at it.

There was a quick second, after the lunch comment, the camera cut over to Walt and he had a plate of something in front of him. :lol:
Absolute cinema

Drill down on this, Pierre. What did you see to made you come to this conclusion?

I was wondering if Belchetz was ever on their radar, but obviously not above Dags.
They mentioned a Fin while they were talking about Dagenais. That has to be Suvanto.
I figured they were referring to Oscar Hemming and not Suvanto, but it could have been either player.
Walt says when discussing Dagenais “I get the need for the center man ” which would be Suvanto.
Ah, I missed that. Thanks. This years video was much better to me, as they were willing to include a lot more “clues”.
