I hope the scout who pushed to draft Casey Staum been fired by now.

if the person that suggested they sign Alzner isn't fired, why would you fire a guy for making a mistake in the 5th round? I could see if it was like David Fischer, or Ben Maxwell, Crisp, Thrower, Collberg, etc.. but once you get 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th rounds I guess I don't mind the mistakes on the later rounds. Plus he was injured for most of the year. Although I don't know what they saw him in in the first place, I know he went to a well known hockey school in the Minnesota USHS but McDonagh had more points in one season then Staum had in his entire USHS career.
Obviously you adjust your expectations for late rounders, you expect first rounder to be a decent NHLer, but I expect a 5th rounder to be a good USHL player at 20y old, and be good enough to play in the NCAA at 21y old. Thats way too far off the mark for a 5th rounder, for that reason I would question the competency of the scout who pushed to draft him.

He didn't only win the scholastic award in the Q. He also won it for the entire CHL.
Hopefully in 1 month, it’ll be.....this is how I would rank our top 10 prospects right now;
1- Poehling
2-Primeau
3-Brook
4-Juulsen
5-Fleury
6-Evans
7-Ikonen
8-Bitten
9-Hawkey
10-vejdemo
Hope you are just having fun, because Kotkaniemi is likely a top 10 pick so it is close to impossible to end up with both him and Zadina. The more realistic scenario is Kotkaniemi OR Zadina AND Kravtsov if we acquire another first from the MaxPac trade. Then again they might decide to go after an LD like Miller with the extra first.Hopefully in 1 month, it’ll be.....

It’s not always a bad idea to gamble on unknown prospects in later rounds
A good example is Jake Evans
June 1st, 2019.Whats the deadline to sign Fleury?
Casey staum
It’s a proof that you don’t just draft based on skating
You need skills that’s why we shouldn’t underrate zAdina
