Using a highish pick on one isn’t guaranteed to be an answer either, the last few goalies we’ve drafted in the second round or above are Ahonen, Damphousse, Jeff Frasee and Blackwood. Sad that Blackwood was clearly the best of them and he turned into space junk too lol

Blackwood is far from space junk when healthy. Our non-goalie second round picks have fizzled out like crazy too, so it's not like a skater is some guaranteed stud.

Two second round picks for Marino (I know pick 153 goes back to Utah) is just amazing work by Fitz. Three second round picks in 2025 gives us plenty of ammo come trade deadline!!

Oh man I'm gonna be pumped if we get Dillon. Been pushing his name on these boards since the start of the off season. We are gonna love him as a person and a player. Honestly such a good fit with this roster.

 

[Oneiro]

I'm just wondering what they do up front, though.

 

[Darkauron]

I may be wrong, someone else can confirm, but I think it's delayed enrollment and he's going back to the USHL for a year before going to BU

Ah you are correct. Not going to bu until 2025

Is there rumours I haven’t seen yet or are you just excited at the thought?

If Marino flips into pesce and Dillion I don’t think anyone would be upset…..

None of these kids are guarantees. If you see your guy available you take him. Goalies are fickle though so I see the hesitancy but we need to find a long term solution. To do that you need to draft them or you're paying a huge premium trade wise or cap wise as we just saw with Markstrom.

Ross Colton needs to happen

Ross Colton needs to happen

getting Colton and Mustard today would make my new jersey pride go through the roof

 

[AfroThunder396]

Definitely seems like the plan is that the offense will figure itself out with a new system and healthy players.

They're banking on Jack and Timo getting healthy, Mercer bouncing back, and some natural progression from Holtz. If the defense and goaltending do their job, a huge step forward offensively isn't necessary.

I wouldn't expect to see any moves for the top-6. Might sign a bottom-6 guy or two for depth.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

I would love Dillion. We need a dman like that. He's what we all hoped Bahl would turn into.

 

[forceten]

Yes please

Ross Colton needs to happen

 

[StevenToddIves]

If you're looking high-upside, LD Shuravin is 6'4 and growing and one of the better skating D in the entire draft. He's already a stud defensively and has good offensive tools.

Mustard's mix of high end speed and skill is dazzling and his compete level is off the charts. A lot of Blake Coleman in his game.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Siegs - Dougie
Luke - Pesce
Dillon - Nemec

 

[MasterofGrond]

Yeah I think we’re counting on a defense that actually cuts chances, a goalie that actually stops shots, and any additional offense coming from offensive D development and forward health.

It’s a good bet. We have good forwards.

When is our next pick?

 

[StevenToddIves]

LW Kevin He is one of my favorites too -- high speed winger with a terrific shot and high intangibles. His stats were negatively affected by playing on a horrible junior team but this kid has big time upside.
