Because you usually don't find those outside the top 10. Even project ones that can skate go a hell of a lot earlier than they probably should and you have to get lucky that their upside is higher than 3rd/4th line.

Actually one of the better skaters (not sure if it speed or edge work) is 6'2" and still on the board. Canes need to use one of their 6ths on

Sounds like we’re opening a country club. Jackson Blake and Bryce Montgomery are the founding members.
Montgomery played zero games last year as an OHLer. Big boy at 6'5". Smaht scouting had him at 56.

Maybe a couple of upper-class villains in an 80's teen movie.
The season before he reported only played 5-9 minutes a night as London eased him in. Perfect fit for a young D under Rod.

Well, he’ll have a great role model in Logan Mailloux to learn from next year.

Montgomery is a defensive defenseman, who possesses offensive upside, but his play in the defensive zone is far more explosive than in the offensive zone.
He thrives at playing man-on-man defense in the slot. If an attacker (non puck carrier) is trying to exploit lanes in the slot, Montgomery keeps tabs on him and uses his frame to put pressure on the attacker to eliminate a potential threat. Not only does Montgomery exert a ton of pressure on non puck carriers, but he is quite strong at using his frame to limit puck movement. He has strong gap control and will play close to the vest. When an attacker is looking to shift the puck around the 6’5′ Marylander, Montgomery uses his frame to push attacker and by doing so he can control puck movement. In addition, he uses his frame well when dodging attackers on his way to loose pucks and he shown that he challenge and win puck battles with some of the best OHL prospects such as Cole Perfetti (Winnipeg Jets prospect). With his frame, he can be a handful for an attacker.
If he is battling net-front, sometimes he will look to screen the attacker who is screening his goaltender. By doing so, he doesn’t have to worry about the attacker dodging his stick and finding open ice. He just eliminates the treat completely. But, there are certainly times where Montgomery will use his stick to push attackers away from his crease.
Aside from using his frame to circumvent the attack, there are instances where the cycle will shift to the other half-wall and Montgomery will get out of position to come closer to the puck. While it doesn’t happen too often, Montgomery should work on positional awareness.
When it comes to puck movement, Montgomery is deceptive with his puck control. He will sell attackers on one lane and will take the other. He uses his reach to extend the puck out to one side, lure the attacker to that lane and immediately shift the puck to the other side to throw him off. He will also play a conservative game and will not force puck movement. If he has an attacker breathing down his neck, he will pivot and look for a pass to avoid a turnover.

Sounds like Montgomery is our 3RD next season 
So:
Consensus is that we made the right 2nd round choices versus what was available?
Morrow, Heimosalmi, Koivunen and not someone such as Raty?

Friedman said Waddell just did a Zoom with the media. Waddell said it is crunch time on Dougie Hamilton now and the Canes want to know before UFA. He set a deadline. NJ is interested.

He also said he’s confident it gets done and that the gap has narrowed.
My FIL was talking to me while he reported so I missed a portion. He's confident what gets done? A deal with Carolina or a deal in general before UFA?

What has Seeley done to prove he's a MacBook? Or something. I don't even know anymore.

So, if we take that statement and compare it to others hes made recently, we can safely say it’s not happening and the gap has expanded.

Me too. I have no clue who that is though, but you put enough time into this that I'll come along for the ride.
