Or is it the late 1st? The last impact player selected 32nd overall was Derek Roy in 2001. The only decent players drafted since 1995 besides Roy were Pinto, Samuelsson, and Bolland.
We'll get the 32nd pick, but players drafted with the 31st overall in the last 30 years: Markstrom, that's it... HM: Pitlick, Laraque, Brendan Lemiux, Klim Kostin. |
As Bonded said, I am not as big on Rossi as others are. More importantly, I don't think spending significant assets on Rossi is the best plan (again, as Bonded reiterated).
Also, yes, I do like Honzek. Do I think he'll become a 60 pt/yr guy? Probably not, probably more like a 40-50 pt guy. But he also has size and speed.
And yes 32nd overall probably doesn't get you a 60 pt guy, but it
might. I would rather have the 2 younger assets than Rossi.
