I'm never really a fan of the tall october birthday prospects who's entire profile relies around physicality a year out. They never end up staying in the top 10 come draft year. So not a big fan of McQueen with a top 10 pick. At this point I would rather bet on the skill guys to grow another inch or two, like McKinney. Yoinking Ehlers would be sick though

Not a McQueen fan? I'll need to take a closer look. I hear you on physicality in juniors translating to NHL ability. Some kids just grow up faster than others. I'm sure your not a Cayden Lindstrom fan then either?

The draft is noticeably weaker this year outside of the top 9 or so IMO. There will be diamonds in the rough so to speak, but I see a lot of potential bottom 6/bottom line players in 2/3rds of the 1st round. Even outside of the top 4 or 5, there isn't a lot of top line potential. Unfortunately, the same can be said at this point about the 2025 draft, maybe slighter better than this year. 2026 draft is looking very strong though.

Chicago won't be drafting top 5 in 2026 so I guess it's good that it should be deeper. I'd love to snag another 26 1st via cap dump acquisition this summer
