Went Gridin again, but easily could be swayed to camp Basha here, with Morin, Crush-Grushnikov, Stromgren, Poirier all legit options, and Battaglia, Mews biting at their heels...
Drooling as I imagine this prospect pool after 2025, getting ahead of myself, as we had a stud centre/forward to the mix, not to think of the rest of the picks...(I'll try and stop thinking about 2026 now lol)...
My adapted from Cali Panthers Fan update fwiw...
