We have cornered the market for big, LHD that project to be bottom pair guys.

Kleven, Nordberg, Wallberg, Andonovski, Eliasson, this kid. (not including Roger and Romeo lol)

Surely one of these is going to pan out and exceed expectation, right?

Is there anything out there on this dude? McKeens seems like the only place he was ranked.

Speaking of McKeens, this is how they characterized him:

Seems like a decent bet in the 5th round.

Moore and Montgomery seem like great picks for the 4th round too. That’s exactly what we have needed for a while. Even if they don’t all work out in the end, at least you get a quality player in the end for the guy that worked out; like Batherson, Pageau and Stone picks were

The scouts did get some decent value in the 4th /5th round and have for the past 3 drafts... It could be their sweet spot.

2024; Ellinas, Moore, Montgomery, Wallenius
2023; Stanley, Andonovski
2022; Halliday, Donovan

Lets see who hits... Its tough to pick hidden the Gems that late in the draft

2024 had a bit of a theme and the draft was run by new people
6'2 198, 6'4 203, 6'4 181, 6'4 212

I do hope we see some one new at the top of amateur scouting and some hires in the scouts. They need some new blood that really bring more to the table in player evaluation. No one new scouting the U18s at the 1st opportunity at the Hlinka Gretzky

One players development path and success does not provide a roadmap for another player. They are all different in where they are and where they are going on their own path.

We will need about 20 of them for these 5% probability guys to give us a player or two! :)

Damn, I much prefer that haul than the whole 2021 draft… even though we had a 10th OA pick, 2 seconds and a 3rd

Actually, not fair at all, 8 prospects vs basically just Ostapchuk

2021 Draft was pathetic. You could have picked 6 or 7 of us in here, given us the video tools and content they had access to and we would have done a far better job. Very disappointing. They are such dinosaurs.
