i’m so excited for the draft. been locked in this year researching and watching prospects so it makes it really fun to have 3 first round picks. regardless if you trust our management, it’s going to be fun walking away with a boatload of prospects

I'd be surprised if they use all three first round picks.

I want at least one big mobile defenseman that's a mean son of a bitch and can hit like a freight train.

Schaefer looks really good to me; better than the forwards. But we have York, so we don’t need him, LOL!

Central Scouting has him 23rd which would be a late first rounder with the weak Euro crop. Doubt he goes that high without showing something in the OHL but this league will definitely draft a 6'6 defenseman much higher than they should.
