Description

This is the season after next prospect advance with a few key UFA additions. The key to me seems to be the ability to retain cap space to sign all of the young RFA talent over the following few years. This should be just enough cap to keep players like Dahlin, Powers, Joki, Krebs, Quinn and Peterka for the forseeable future.

None of your draft picks are NHL ready imo. Let them play in the AHL or CHL for a season , and maybe bring them up for a few games at the end of the year.

Not getting all 3 of those guys without a trade-up. They should all be there at 9, but questionable that Geekie/Bischel will be there at 16. They won’t be there at 28.

This draft is gonna be weird, rankings are all over the place.

You clearly failed to read the description in which I clearly state that this is a prospectus of the year after next. I completely agree that they will not be ready this year and need to earn sports to get to those positions.

True, but I know some NHL GMs overvalue size, and Geekie and Bischel are not making it to 28.
