Prospect Info: (D) Nolan Allan - 2021 32nd Overall

He's small.

Then I can't believe that SB passed on him. Must have been drunk or something.

Zellweger is talented, but I'm unsure how well he'll hold up in the playoffs.

He's small.

you would rather have Nolan Allen?

Not sure, tbh.

On draft day I would've 100% gone with Zellweger.

Allan is a low upside player.

But if he winds up a staple on your bottom pair, isn't a liability, can take the physicality of playoff hockey, meanwhile Zellweger turns into a struggling top 4 PP merchant... then the choice is clear.

If Zellweger develops into something like Torey Krug at minimum, I think that's better than Allan's ceiling. Though I don't think that's a fit for what KD is trying to build.
