Given how many returning forwards we have, hopefully he has the skill to contend and not just take a spot from a younger player with more potential.

Are you not losing 3 OA forwards, plus Pekar and Byfield? Sounds like there is lots of room for a one and done import.

I really thought they would have wanted to pick an 03 defensemen. Build the Wolves for the post Byfield era.

Doesn’t seem like it’s expected Tuomaala comes considering that Jendek pick

Our blue line is way too crowded as is

Only if you think Sammy and Serensits return as OA. There's a need for younger D to grow with Stillman, Larmand and this years top 3 picks. We have a pretty young forward group that will need ice time.

Ross
Thompson
Phillips
Ribau
Anania
Collins

to add to those two, plus any surprises of course

Wolves have already signed 3 16 year old forwards, in addition to a few other older players.

Ben's a smart guy

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Jendek played on a historically bad Slovak team at WJC. Every player played badly. He’s a good energy player, not extremely skilled but works hard and can drive the net.

Here is a way too early ranking for the 2021 draft that has Tuomaala at 16

Thonpson Phillips are both older but can be counted on. The rest of that group is unproved and do not represent top end talent we require. Just my opinion. Agree to disagree

If there's even a season for 20/21, JMO:

LW - C - RW
1. Robinson Byfield Tuomaala
(speed to burn on this top line, OA Robinson has his breakout season, Byfield torments the league with 100+ point season, and Tuomaala cements his status as an NHL 1st rounder for 2021)
2. Murray Goyette Stillman
(dangerous second line, Murray has 40 goal season, Goyette proves to be the real deal as a 16 year old, and Stillman cements his status as an NHL 2nd rounder for 2021)
3. Hutcheson McCallum Manikis
(solid third line, OA Hutcheson chips in 20 goals with a physical edge, McCallum grows into a strong two way centerman, and Manikis stays healthy becoming a hard player to play against)
4. Delic Larmand Konyen/Degrazia
(young skilled line, rookie Delic plays with a chip on his shoulder, Larmand shows he has good skill to go with his high compete, and Konyen/Degrazia round out the forward ranks)

This is an ideal scenario, I doubt we see Byfield back though and Tuomaala is questionable at best.

Hutcheson-Murray-Jendek
Robinson-Stillman-Manikis
DeGrazia-McCallum-Goyette
Larmand-Delic-Konyen

Is what I anticipate

 

[hockeynorth]

In theory IF Tuomaala came, we'd have a 1st rounder in back to back years along with Thompson/Phillips going in the mid rounds this year and Stillman early next year. All of a sudden we look much better draft wise. I have a feeling Anania gets himself picked next year too. Add McCallum/Goyette/Konyen/Larmand/Delic/surprises as potential guys the year after and damn all of a sudden we're a prospect hub again.
