WSH would like to thank Jiri and the other who helped the draft run smoothly. Been a busy day so I had to wait to get to my recap
WSH went in with two picks and came away with 4 players picked.
35 - Luca Del Bel Belluz - He was one of the two guys I had circled for our picks. I was unsure if I was going to see either of them by the time it got to me. So when I got one of them still sitting on the board, I jumped at it. An older player with some skating concerns but can score at the OHL level.
44 - Mats Lindgren - My guys just went before my pick and was scrambling to find a replacement. Lindgren is a good skater and a potential top 4 dman but defensive his game needs work.
Traded Jiri a 2023 3rd for 80 and 98 to get a guy I think will play in the NHL
80 - Gavin Hayes - Big strong skating forward with decent hands. Hoping he can take a step forward next year in his development.
98 - Alexander Suzdalev - A skilled forward with holes in his game that needs to be sorted. Lets see if he even gets draft in the NHL draft next weekend.
Overall, Hayes and Del Bell Belluz were guys we really wanted. I dont think I had any big steals and expect most of them to go where I picked them but lets see how they develop.
