I still can't believe they drafted him ahead of Tyler Myers and Cody Hodgson. I thought it was a bad choice back then and after watching Myers this year with Buffalo it looks like a terrible choice.

Chicago ****ed up too by picking Beach at #11 ahead of Myers. Imagine their D with Myers added to it. Scary.
