The numbers are very lacklustre for an overage junior player. He had better be pretty good defensively if he wants to make it to the NHL one day. If we get a good AHL level player out of him we should be happy.

The state of our defense pool after this draft will be looking good again, which will be nice as we had depleted it in recent years. Larsson, Guhle, and Djoos as good young NHL D, with Mahura, Benoit, Thrun, Lacombe, Andersson, and Drew all currently in the pipeline with likely 1 or 2 top 40 draft picks added as well.

Thrun definitely does, Lacombe might also depending on his defensive game rounds out, and if we get prospects like Drysdale, Sanderson, Guhle, or Barron, I would say they do as well.

You forgot RHD Axel Andersson, who'll be going to the AHL this coming season.
I think Drysdale has that top pairing potential, but I think we're going to be set with a top-4 for a few years. (Top-3 for probably longer.) It would be cool having a plethora of 2nd pairing defensemen playing as our 3rd pairing.
This past year, both LaCombe and Thrun have looked good. Thrun needs to work on his skating speed. It's only one year into their NCAA careers, so it's too early to say much, but at least the start looks good. But I want Drysdale. I want Drysdale as much as I wanted Drew Doughty until the damned Oil started winning games and ruined selecting 2nd overall to nab Doughty! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! hahhahahah

Groulx won the Guy Carbonneau trophy for best defensive forward in the Q
That`s great!
However, if we look in thee past, not too impressive list of players so far: Guy Carbonneau Trophy - Wikipedia
I'm very excited about this guy. I think he can be a solid middle 6 pivot in the future

Hopefully we can get a guy like Grans or Niemela with Boston's pick or our second

One comparison I really liked in that piece was Groulx being similar to Pageau. To be fair, I am a big Pageau fan, but that type of player is a perfect 3rd line center.

Zegras, Thrun, and LaCombe all invited to WJC summer camp. It runs from July 24 to August 1, and unlike previous years, Canada, Sweden, and Finland will not be there to play exhibition games, for obvious reasons.

Hockey Canada released their camp roster but now appear to have deleted it. Tracey wasn't on it.
Edit: Its back up now, still no Tracey
