I’m still shocked kulonummi went so low when dude is absolutely destroying it in Finland.
But someone like Nilsson doing nothing since draft and goes higher. Mind boggling yall.

I'm sticking with Chrona, same spiel as last poll.

Chrona and Ingram would round out the Top 20 for me, but it's amazing how many "honorable mentions" we could have. We have a good half-dozen guys who could equally slot into these final spots. Probably one or two of them are going to be big risers on next year's list after they turn in great seasons in 2024-25. Gustafsson, Marques, Willis, Mackinnon, and yes, even some hail mary hopes remaining for Matier could easily take us to a top-25.

And this is even after counting Parssinen, Tomasino, Stastney, and Del Gaizo as graduated, and trading Askarov.

Yeah, if nothing else, our prospect pool is de-eep. And it's going to get even more deeper next summer with 6 picks in the first three rounds. Need that elite talent.

I'm going to be a little surprised if we end up keeping all of those picks. Trotz seems to be "all in", so as long as nothing goes too far off the rails I'm betting he trades some of that draft capital to bolster the team even further once we get the Johansen relief.

But he can't trade them all. We could still have 4 more picks incoming, say. Probably still just looking for a "lucky strike" in terms of any of them being the elite talent, however, since they'll probably all be later picks. I hope he bides his time at least to get a sense of where the acquired picks are likely to land before he moves any. If there is any chance one lands nearer the top-10, then we have to hold onto that pick for dear life.
