Would like to chime on on Lees.
Really feel like the skys the limit with him - frankly he could end up a better NHLer than Madison Bowey who went in the 2nd.
He doesn't blow you away with any one particular skill, and lacks intensity and isn't that hard to play against - probably why he went undrafted. But he's calm under pressure, delivers a nice pass and sees the ice well. His decision making is usually good. Decent stick. He's in the best organization in the WHL for developing d-men and could be a steal for some team still.
edit: as mentioned a real young player too. could absolutely come into his own this season on a team that has a good shot at playing for the Memorial Cup.
Surprised at Jamal Watson too - didn't get that many looks at him but he seemed to be a bright spot pigeonholed with bad linemates in a bad system on a bad team in a bad organization last year. Had some glimpses of real potential here and there.
