There is no way Gropp would have made it much farther in the 2nd round, so its good you guys pounced..Very solid pick... I am extremely familiar with him since his bantam years in case anyone wants to know any in depth info.
He was a VERY highly touted NCAA recruit of U of North Dakota a couple years ago but gave it up to play in Seattle with Matt Barzal. When he first committed to UND they were quoted as saying "Gropp is touted as North Dakota's top Canadian recruit since Chicago Blackhawks star Jonathan Toews"
Very solid pick... him and Barzal will be a deadly duo next year in Seattle
