so far 4 Russians, 3 NCAA guys, and an SHL guy. Nobody that will have to be signed any time in the next 2 seasons. Hopefully not a sign that they're expecting the AHL shitshow to be a long-term thing.
Where do you think they land with AHL team in 2024-2025 DaveG?

All of them?

Geez I didn’t realize we did it last year too.
last year was 4 russians, 2 other european players and then 1 kid going to college

21 draft we had 13 picks, 3 of them were CHLers but 10 were Euros or kids going to college

it looks like we had a plan starting last draft.

It’s an interesting plan, with the timing what’s been going on with our AHL team during that time. Clearly we want them developed as long as possible somewhere else.

I keep hoping there’s a grand plan with developing players that just hasn’t been revealed to us yet.

If we’re passing up quality CHL players to take a lesser player that fits this current mood for whatever reason we’re doing it, can’t say I’m a fan.

I suppose in the later rounds you can use the justification that they’re all just darts after the first and aren’t that different from each other. The Russian thing is starting to get old though.

it may be we just want to get a longer read on the prospect before we have to sign them or lose them. College players and Euros allow us to get the longest look.
