They need to get rid of those 2 ASAP.

Look at Carolina's two picks today.

Their reasoning is understood.

Still a bad pick with all the other quality players that were available there.

- kingcong39

how can it be a bad pick when you have no goalie prospects signed and one of the 2 can walk in a year?


they literally just drafted who they felt was the best goalie in the draft who was not going to be there in the 3rd rd

People don't realize we have 4 of 6 D that are probably here long term...

Defense is the least of our problems.

And we have three goalies 23 and Under currently.

The quote about the top four defense one of those guys wouldn’t sign long-term and may possibly want out in a year or two. The others are complete unknowns on what they are going to be.

We also have a poop ton of forward prospects that everyone keeps raving about yet we took three more forward prospects in the first round

Kind of sounds like another Olo. Avg speed, huge shot and one timer.

I don't buy that for a second. A 2nd round D is 4 years out. No one knows what our D looks like that far out.

I like the tool kit of the goalie. I love all the other picks. Overall so far I think they're doing great.

You are right. We should never draft a forward again

I don't have a strong opinion either way yet, too early. Its the strategy i find interesting. Kind like hedging risk both ways.

they took 3 centers in the first round, filled the pipeline
took the best goalie in their eyes in the second rd, filled the pipeline
took a creative goal scoring winger in the third rd


grab a few d in the later picks and another goalie


textbook draft at the end of the day

That someone said we don't need to draft D because we already have good young prospects?

They have good young prospects everywhere.

This is where you start picking specialty players. If you're going to do something, bet on skill. I wonder if VO would have gone earlier if this was his draft year.
