After checking Johnston (Dallas pick) in 2021 draft, it looks promising for us. Those players still have to prove a lot, but:
McTavish – beating expectations and about to hit 45 points
Zellweger – one if not the best Canadas D in juniors at his age group. Size is a risk but clear upside
Pasta – might take a bit longer, but producing nicely
Hinds – so steady, potential of a 2nd pair shutdown D
Alexander – already turning heads in the AHL
Kukkonen – overage but scoring goals left and right in his first year
Tschigerl and Lopina has fell off a bit but will see.
This was last draft for Murray. Hopefully this turns out much better than the previous ones.
Again, ofc there's a lot to play out, but seems promising so far (it probably usually does at this stage
)
