It's entirely possible, but it seems unlikely with Kichton. I'm fine with them being overagers, because most late-round picks never amount to anything in the NHL. Chevy took a calculated risk with them and they should be of great service to the IceCaps.

All I know for sure is based on history:
Winnipeg Jets use their 1st round selection on players who have improved SUBSTANTIALLY and are potential 1st round selections.
Scheifele, Trouba, Morrisey ALL had substantial elevations in draft stock in their draft year.
It wouldnt be a bad idea to get overagers who would be AHL ready and hope you strike gold.

No ide why it happened , but the Caps can definitely use the help.
I am also a big fan of both the Lipon and Kitchon picks.

Im good with these over age these picks.......you sign all 4 to average Elc deals .....they play for the Ice caps immeditely .........they give the jets Depth for the next three yrs as call ups as they are not waiver eligible..... and they probably have a hunch as to hitting a home run in one of them over the next three yrs ...... aka ( Burrows/T pearson)
Copp and Poolman have 3 and 4 years of NCAA eligibility left. Don't think they'll be in the system for awhile. Kind of an extended development period and bet hedging before we have to decide on their viability as pros. Easier to decide if a guy is worth signing when that guy is 21-22-23 than 19.

It is a little odd, but definitely not bad considering how much of a flyer you're taking on a late pick anyway.
The AHL depth could definitely use a boost though and I wouldn't doubt if Zinger wasn't given a pick or two. Four total was just a coincidence in my opinion however.

You never know if they'll even make St. John's. They might find themselves on a flight to California. Off topic: has there ever been a team with more travel built into their farm system in all of professional sports?
Lipon and Kitchon are both very ready for the Ice Caps in my opinion, I'd be pretty shocked if they weren't in the AHL immediately.

Reminds me of an old Toronto Star commercial. "There's a Toronto where the Star isn't the the favourite newspaper. A Toronto where the Royals are the fovourite team, not the Blue Jays", etc, etc. It would drone on. The video scenery was a dusty little "one-horse-town" straight out of a western movie. At the very end, you see a signboard...
