Collins is another college kid. That doesn't surprise me. Like I said with Milano, I think we are wanting kids with a lot of potential who are also going to college which helps spread out when our prospects will be turning pro some.

Here's his profile from HF Prospects post:
6. Ryan Collins – D – Shoots: Right – 6‘5“, 202 lbs.
CSS North American Rank #57
May 10th, 1996
And yet another tall and bruising defenseman, Collins growth is far from finished. Already taller than most skaters you’ll find, he’s added some positive weight this past winter and looks ripe for more in the coming years, having scouts feel he could max out at about 225-230 pounds. That’s an enticing physical package.
Despite not having any noticeable skating deficiencies without the puck, Collins usually needs a few seconds to refocus or get going once the puck is on his stick, almost always looking to keep the play simple. Generally a monster in his own zone, he can have problems with smaller, better-skating forwards, but this is nothing uncommon from a player his age and his height. A good friend to Jack Glover, the two have been playing for a number of years now, taking the same steps from Minnesota to the U.S. NTDP program and right on into college next fall. The height and size are there, but some folks wouldn’t mind seeing Glover’s offensive instincts start to rub off on Collins at some point. Clearly he’s seen as a true defensive defenseman at this point.
Speaking of which, the take-no-prisoners defenseman did a nice job at the U18 WC and became stronger as the tourney progressed. His play was often suffocating to opponents and he also chipped in two assists, six penalty minutes, and a +4 rating in the team’s seven games. During the regular season, he collected two assists, 10 penalty minutes, and a +12 rating in 26 USHL contests while also adding a goal, seven points, and 26 penalty minutes in 59 U.S. NTDP games. One of his finest assets was the ability to stay healthy throughout the whole season.
A Minnesota native, Collins will be attending the University of Minnesota next fall.
Draft rank position prediction: Between spots 45-65.

We can pretendmight have something to do with Philly picking right behind us
I didn't know that. That said, how many PHI fans are there today
.
If he's there I would be good with that. Keep bringing in people that will make other teams hate us

No surprise. I like the trade. A few guys I liked, but they might still be available later. So, that gives us 2 2nds and 2 3rds next year, right? I like having extra picks. It allows you to move around in the draft if you want too. You can also add them in a trade for a player.
