I hope we're pumping the tires on some of these guys (Kane, Teresenko, any one of the three goalies, all d-men born before 2000, Veleno, Rasmussen, Fischer) and we're shipping as many out as possible for 2nd round and later picks before the deadline.
I've read that the next draft might be a little deeper than usual because there are a lot of high-risk high-reward Russians, so 2nd round picks aren't worthless. Unless we just use them to package a trade for future considerations to get another team to take a young serviceable defenseman on a reasonable contract. Then they're worthless.
