If we end up picking second how about this guy?

Is that his kid? Has to be. Another Kamloops Blazer, haha.

Yes he is Dave's kid. Would sort of be funny if we pick him in the 2nd or 3rd

And he turns out be a steal, the opposite of his dad. Had such high hopes for Dave Chyzowski back in the day.

I have no clue where he is rated to go in the draft but it would be even funnier if we pick him second last and he ends up being the second coming of Brett Hull

We deserve some good karma.

On the subject of the draft I just found this weird tidbit:

https://www.capfriendly.com/draft/2019&round=2&tid=19&otid=5

2019 conditional 2nd round pick*

*Condition: If the Flames miss the playoffs in 2019, Islanders receive a 2019 2nd round pick. If Flames make the playoffs in 2019, Islanders receive a 2020 2nd round pick instead.

Ty Smith.

Too bad neither pick will be top 10 because he is my early favorite. Incredible smarts and skating ability, this guy has some Duncan Keith in him.

Akil Thomas is another early favorite. Too bad he'll be another likely lottery pick.

Jett Woo on top of having a great name, is your prototypical well-rounded WHL dman. Can lay the body and is a leader. Depending on how the depth shakes out, he could be available with one of the picks if they are in the teens. It would be the right draft to pickup a defenseman with potential to be a top-4 guy, because there are a lot of them.

Lots of similarities between Chyzowski and MDC. Two high scoring junior players with big shots who can't seem to skate well enough to make it in the NHL.
