Top4 potential, but there's going to be competition.

Get him to AHL.

Also love how they continue to add to the pipeline on the backend, even when organizational needs might suggest going in another direction.

I was afraid of this. The one guy I can't spell

He's no Yamamoto

Feels like a mayonnaise sandwich

Love it or hate it, Sweeny and the scouting team have shown a willingness to identify their guy and act, rankings be damed. Pick was #26th and McKenzie'a consensus rankings.

I feel like Poehling probably could have been a strong pick for us to sure us up at C but meh, what do I know. Ill wait and see but this guy could have been gotten later.

They're gonna trade for a LW im convinced after this pick.

I kinda feel like this was a "didnt expect to still have this pick but we'll use it now'

Feel like they thought it'd be traded. But again, could have traded down for him,.

Maybe Zboril becomes expendable. Hmm.
