The dust has settled...

Thunder Bay, ON- Fourteen picks later, and the Thunder Bay Timberwolves management and scouts can sit back for a moment and take stock in what has been accomplished.
>>>"All in all, we did quite well with getting who we targeted," said Timberwolves general manager, Blake Wendt. "Like every year with every club in this league, you of course won't get every single player you wanted. But you shouldn't expect that either. But without moving around throughout the draft like others did. We were realistic in the players that would be there around where we chose, and we went to great lengths to learn as much as we could about everyone of them.
