Lodge
Haha, I sure hope so! The Wings have no pressing needs so I'll be fine with whoever they select on draft day.
Good job with the mock draft, I am curious on Lodge is there a more in-depth scouting report on him? I've seen summaries and Youtube videos, but I prefer to dig deeper with guys who interest me.
From McKeen's Scouting Service:
Failed to earn an invite to the CHL Top Prospects Game which
sparked a torrid month-long surge (10-10-12-22) .. blossomed
moving to the top line with leading scorer Eric Locke and captain
Garret Ross .. the Downingtown, Pennsylvania native showcased
his offensive skill centering Team USA’s top line at the Ivan Hlinka
.. SCOUTING REPORT .. an intuitive and skilled offensive forward ..
displays good vision as an attacker - and is backed by an explosive
wristshot that whips off his blade .. developing as a playmaker ..
adopted a more patient and methodical approach as the season
progressed - evaluating options better, holding the puck longer ..
an enigmatic skater who emits occasional bursts of elite speed
.. skating stance is slightly knock-kneed - yet doesn’t seem to
impair a springy stride that features excellent startup quickness
and acceleration .. seldom exploits these however - as he tends
not to skate through plays - but rather gravitate to areas of least
resistance .. not an overly assertive player .. attempts to finish hits
though rarely sacrifices himself and attacks the boards .. goes to
the net and digs for loose pucks provided there’s no imminent hits
coming .. flashes signs of being a dominant player - and can go
higher on draft day to a team confident he can develop his courage
while strengthening a slight, wiry frame.
