Yikes!
Looks like Bolts have one 6th round pick (their own) and two 7th round picks (their own and Ducks’). Yeah, basically they’re skipping 2023 draft.We're only missing two picks bro... Not really uncommon...
"Yikes!" would be the Lightning situation !
Offer em to NJ for Bahl and rights to Graves!Trade all of them
f*** them picks.
58. Matthew Mania (RHD)
Matthew Mania shows of very fluid movement in a very bulky frame. He has the size to play gritty, physical hockey but the agility and edgework to stay mobile. I love Mania’s puck-handling abilities and think there’s room for him to grow into a very solid, transition-specialist defenseman who uses his size to cover for his lapses defensively.

No shit?!He's a Florida-born kid too.
I actually have a blue Sudbury Wolves jersey (my last name is Wolf.)We need Mania now !!!!!!!!
I really like Mania, Strathmann, and Ludtke. I also like Koehn Ziemmer for our range, the kind of power forward that could fit seamlessly into our system. Really turned it on in the 2nd half. Perron I feel will go earlier than our pick. But I hope we go D here. Aram Minnettian is a very high upside guy. I thought he might play himself into the 1st round range this year, but he wasn't quite glitzy enough for that. But he still has a very high ceiling, extremely high skill level, terrific skating, has the potential to be a transition ace, great hands but also a very good shot, high iq, and can also be effective in his own zone when he wants to be. Very comparable to Montour. Cameron Allen is intriguing too, and also another very high upside guy. Was a top prospect a year ago, arguably top 10. Has had a subpar season, but if he can regain his confidence and start to put his game back together, he'll be a home run for whoever drafts him. Which is likely, imo. And even if he doesn't figure it all out, he'll still likely be an NHL D, the kind of 3rd pair, steady all round guy who doesn't make a lot of money but just gives you 10-15 reliable minutes per night. Like a smaller Nic Hague. Or maybe a Josh Mahura is more apt, if Mahura keeps it up. Martin Strbak is just a big, steady guy who can play physical and also move the puck. Caden Price is like a smaller Strbak but has better skating and a little more offensive upside.58. Matthew Mania (RHD)

59. Jayden Perron (LW/RW)
Jayden Perron was a major piece in the rapid-moving Chicago Steel system this year. His ability to skate up the ice with immense speed and not lose any processing ability is impressive. Perron can skate with the best of ’em. But it never felt like he could be the defining piece behind a line. I’d instead expect a highly-complimentary role player… if Perron can overcome the serious size factor that looms over him.
60. Dominik Petr (C)
Dominik Petr has the makings of an incredibly reliable transition-specialist. His large frame keeps him from getting knocked off of the puck but his heads-up skating and ability to find space make it easy for him to push through opposing neutral zone setups. If he can add speed to his game, he’d be the exact player I’d want as my third-line center.
61. Tanner Ludtke (C/LW)
Tanner Ludtke has done anything and everything he can to help his team this year. Whether it’s being the first man in on the forecheck, staying high and fighting for open space, or working in the low-slot and corners, Ludtke’s well-rounded skillset lets him do everything effectively. If he can improve his skating, he’ll be an exciting prospect to have on your side.
62. Andrew Strathmann (LHD)
Similar to Hunter Brzustewicz, Andrew Strathmann’s style sits in confidently carrying the puck through the neutral zone and making decisions once he enters the zone. The rub comes in

I could see it with our 4th or 5th rounder. Not our 2nd though.During the season it was reported that the Panthers have shown some notable interest in Belarusian defenseman Daniil Karpovich.
I wanted Matthew Mania just for his last name, but him being a FL kid means we need to draft him.
