Cam Reid is projected by most to go between picks 20-28 approximately, but he’s a bit smallish- although one of the best skaters in the draft.

There is a lot to like with Aitcheson, but I wouldn’t take him at 18. Love the compete level and the physical play, he also has a great shot. The skating and hands are lacking, so I don’t see the offense translating to the next level. He also has a lot of work to do in terms of the details of his game. He is also one of the oldest players in the draft class.
I think Cameron Reid will/should go before Aitcheson.
