How I'd order our best to worst picks:
- Kral
- Sandin
- Stotts
- SDA
- Durzi
- Holmberg
- Bouthillier
- Kisimov
- Hollowell
1. I think this pick gave us the best value for where we picked, and I can see this guy being an NHL player. Underlying numbers are great.
2. Good pick, very Dermott-y, would have preferred Bokk or another trade back but I think he's better than Veleno.
3. A very likely NHL player, seems like a safe bet to make it to me.
4. I feel this pick was a reach, probably could have gotten him with our fourth however if he makes it he will be great IMO. Just needs more muscle.
5. Good numbers, I've watched him and can comfortably say he's a solid pick however he is so far down because of the players that were available and I feel we only picked him for need.
6. I like throwing this dart, pick from our Swedish scout and he'll play SHL next year.
7. I like that we took a goalie with one of two sevenths, however he isn't a great goalie prospect and Moskal, Dunkley, and Eggenberger were all still there.
8. Would have preferred someone I knew, and he is only an MHL guy however I mostly only have him so low because I don't know enough about him, I'm sure others could make me move his placing around.
9. This pick just doesn't feel right to me, I'm hoping he proves me wrong and is like a Mete type, but I need him in the A next year because I really feel this was a very sub-par pick. Hits me the same way the Mattinen pick did.
Overall, I think the depth of this class is better than the depth from 2017 for us (liljegren is the only guy I love)
