Thread: FUTURE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>Just my 2 cents a power forward is almost always the hardest to project through the draft unless they are a top of the draft prospect. It’s much easier to acquire those types through trades (maybe that’s why Kyle D is hoarding picks late in the future). The next priority as you said should be a number 1 RD to take over for Jones. Maybe it’ll work out in 24… I know nothing about that draft.</div></div>

I agree.... About my point about the power foward, I was pretty broad. But Chicago needs to add a top winger prospect. Reichel and Nazar are great prospect but I don't think they'll end up as that top line winger. With that being said, Chicago doesn't have that top forward prospect that has size, physicality, puck chasing abilities to get the puck in hard areas. I'm basically describing Ryan Leonard, whose one of my favorite prospects and the caps are so lucky to have him. But I'd want a prospect like that, even though that really rare. Chicago definitely should address the defense though with there next pick.

2024, I don't know at all too. All I've heard about it, is that it's supposed to be defensive deep.

Thread: Good Draft from Chicago
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>It's hard to judge since I haven't seen most of these kids play. But on paper, a big head scratcher is Minnesota taking Stramel at 21, instead of Perrault. Perrault dropped 132 pts in 63 games, which was more than his teammates Will Smith and Leonard, who went 4th and 8th. (pts aren't everything of course). Where Stramel only put up 12 pts in 33 NCAA games. Stramel is MASSIVE at 6'3, 222 lbs, but that to me means that he is already in his man body and couldn't produce. I get that he is also a local but that should be a tie breaking factor, not a main factor.

On paper this Minnesota pick doesn't make sense to me. They should have gone with Perrault.

That's my rant of the draft haha</div></div>

See I like the Stramel pick, sure probably not at 21. But Stramel is a good pick for a playoff team. Big physical player that can be a net front presence. In the long run, he's going to be a role player for the wild in the middle 6. He reminds me of a lot of Adam Lowry, and teams need role players like that.
