Additional Details:
Stud: I think stud is a 3c on a bottom feeder like Ari, he looked very solid in his few games this year and in the preseason and he continues to be a very solid contributor in the ahl. I still don't know why cassidy isn't giving him more opportunities as stud played a very solid all-around game while up, yes he didn't wow anyone with points but he definitely helped generate a lot of high danger opportunities. I think he would be better off on another team his 2C potential is there you can see watching play i think he just needs to be slotted in a role where he can actually develop and build chem with linemates and then he start producing more.
Lohrei: Lohrei would hurt to lose
Lohrei currently has 22 points in 26 games for ohio state, he is tied for 1st in points as a dmen for a freshman with luke hughes and is tied for 3rd in points out of all dman. he is currently producing with the like of hughes, sanderson, power all of which were top 5 picks.
Lohrei has now developed quite a strong all-around game his size is great as he is listed at 6'4 204, there isn't one area on the offensive end he struggles at he is a good skater a great passer and for a dman has some pretty slick hands. one thing i read was that people wished he used his shot more he tends to look for an open teammate rather then taking his chance to score which could come down to confidence in his shot but from the few games i watched he had a very accurate wrister and a quite hard slapshot.
the only reason i would be okay to moving lohrei is because we have chych coming back and being our top LHD for the future and also vaak and zboril took some masssive steps this season. if we don't get chych though im fine with keeping lohrei i see him being in our top 4 very soon
Debrusk: we all know who he is, what he can be and what he has previously shown us he is capable of.
I think for Ari he will be their LW2 for a while, give debrusk a pass first center with some speed and you will see him excel once again. given an increased role, PP time and potentially better linemates i think debrusk will return to his 25+ goal potential he had.
picks will be late but seems like most the teams competing for chych are top 10 teams so no matter what the picks they receive will be late.
either way for Ari the more picks the merrier as they have more opportunites to build a great prospect pool to build around
all of the assets ari acquires are 25 and younger meaning they are in no rush to win and can simply allow all their players to develop the right way and reach their max potential
