Description
Kinda doubt the goaltending is still the same and the RW/RD situation feels kinda lacking, but I'd be surprised if a lot of these guys aren't full time pros by 25/26. The contracts for KJ, Silly, Marchenko, Chinakhov, and Voronkov will be interesting. Hopefully Jarmo, or whoever is in charge, can sign some quality, long term deals to give this group a real shot at developing into a contender.

This is why i keep telling people we need to just draft our picks this year and be patient. We are young dumb and full of ..... spirit. Plus we have makarov and Dolzhenkov coming over the next 2 years. Plus with 22 and 34OA this year theres a chance we could get Simashev and/or But. Patience is a virtue for the jackets fans right now.

It's definitely a questionable thought process to be trading away picks from 2023. I feel like this is the last draft where they should really be using all the draft capital they have to stock the cupboard and then picks for 2024 and beyond are what they should gamble on bringing in aid where they need it.

I am in the same thinking boat. Esp if the russian guys fall due to "RUSSIA" and we can get them in late first early second round. They would be looking to make the jump right as we enter a completive window. Just think of bringing in a 6'5 215 Dman that has been playing against men for 2 years that we didnt have to pay to develop. or a 6'4 210 winger to run along side Vorony.

Yep, also I think having a second wave of talent would be really important to drive competition and be a security measure incase some players don't work out. I'm not entirely sold on Sillinger, Dumais, LDBB, Chinakhov or Ceulemans working out at the moment.
