The real surprises have come from the backend- Piiparainen, Reid, and Carels are starting to overtake Rudolph on lists for D, then there’s dynamic offensive defensemen like Lin and Villeneuve that could also occupy the top-15. Coming up later in the round are two-way marvels in Gustafsson, Hakansson, and Schairer. Of course, Verhoeff will go in the top-two.
I think to say that this draft is “disappointing” would be way off base. Just my opinion.

I take most prognostications with a huge dose of salt. Last years Poor draft fifth rounder wicked wytenbach is leading mckenna in scoring in college which im sure all of us had as a possibility.
This draft is super solid into the second round. Guys like preston, viileneuve, shilov, scherbak, all are in the 15 to 20’s range. A guy like Bjork could easily hit 20’s with a lot of good defencemen in that range. A bunch of the centers are making a push. This is a good draft.
This would be a damn good draft to have Coleman and Andersson both return a first.
