In what ways does Devin Cooley complement Dustin Wolf in Calgary?
Do you remember Bob Froese, amazing after Lindbergh passed then never heard of much
They need to leave the damn coach alone. Give him several more seasons. Morgan Frpst is coming along. I'm excited for next season
Defenseman if not top 3. Big bruiser. Maybe a scoring Defenseman
Boo!! Avalanche can eat it
I'd be good with Malhotra or Carels at number 4, just stay away from Lawrence. His transition to to college hockey has been horrible and he'd be off my board until the 2nd round. The Vegas 1st and the early second round picks are where we can make some real noise with the draft being super deep. Honestly, I'd pass on Morozov at 17, he is big and trusted to be a good dependable 2 way player but his skating is something that could be an issue. At this stage of our rebuild I want some who is a known play driver and can score or produce points and Nikita Kelpov is the kid I'd target at 17 assuming Hemming (another bulldozing power forward) or Liam Ruck has been drafted. Kelpov can shoot, pass, and is a offensive dynamo but needs to add size and work on his defensive game. I'd good with pairing Kelpov on a line with a good 2 way forward to help cover his defensive lapses knowing his offensive upside can help elevate his teammates as a whole. Sneaky good 2nd round selection possibilities, another center, Alexander Command, defenseman Xavier Villeneuve ok ok probably a 1st round guy but while kid has amazing hands, another offensive dman like Zayne but needs to bulk up, I question if his frame can handle the rigors of the NHL which is why he slips, Wyatt Cullen, and another Saginaw kid Egor Barabonov in the late 2nd
