In purgatory

Overager, will go to ECHL / AHL right away I suppose. At least this kid scored, and scored well but I've no idea if he was pumped by having great line mates. Quite a huge jump in production from his 19 to 20 year old season.

**edit** seems he played with two very good line mates in Romani and Van Steensel. Should also note he is Indigenous which is cool. Ultimately on him to make the transition, he did have a scorer's pedigree but had a huge bump in production this year, as aforementioned.

GREAT pick in Nicholl. Another London Knight who got buried behind older players. He will have a bigger role this year. Scouts are surprised he fell this late

Didn’t bother watching the draft this year or even follow prospects at all.

Still a bit crushed from our loss in game 7.

However, in a cursory review of our draft looks like another very underwhelming draft. Nothing jumps out as being excited about. Again, I know little to nothing about these guys and most of our picks were late rounders but on a cursory review doesn’t look promising.

The bolded is really why I don't really feel much either way and don't know how anyone could be excited or disappointed here. They have a ton of late picks, most amount to nothing. O'Reilly and Vinni seem promising
