56th Overall in 2016 - NHLe of 25 in D-0
52nd Overall in 2016 - NHLe of 19 in D-0
50th Overall in 2016 - NHLe of 23 in D-0
46th Overall in 2016 - NHLe of 16 in D-0
That's Dube Vs. Allison Vs. Kayumov Vs. Smith - the only forwards taken between 46 and 56 in the '16 draft.
...we need to start "hitting" during free agency at the NHL level to fill out our roster so we can stop spending picks to acquire spare parts. If we can find some real players in free agency and avoid the disasters, we can address the roster gaps and stop the deficit spending and really start building a deep team. The pro scouts are the biggest problem with this team right now.
