Seen DBB a few times with the Steelheads, it'll be fun watching him make the jump up through the ranks to eventually the Jackets. Solid player.

I remember Del Bel Belluz being a name fans were like "OMG he is still available!!1!11!" as we do during drafts. Seems the hype had some justification.

Quietly

That's deep

Having seen DBB with the steelheads a couple of times, he deserves being picked in the 2nd round.
Has a ton of tools with size but needs to be consistent on every shift.
So pretty much like every kid in the OHL.

I wanted Ottawa to draft him just because of his epic name. Lol

It's clunky, just the Italian version of De La Hoya though.

Is there a way the OP can make the thread subject a little longer?

If y'all give us Horvat for a 2nd and he extends with us for $6m/year, I'll put in a word with the TR&FA moderators about possibly incorporating that into this thread and thus the thread subject. But only 'cause you asked so nicely.
