Gridin is clearly going to be an upper roster NHL player. Not sure where that lands (elite top line winger vs 2nd line PP guy), but that 2024 draft could be top five all time for the team.

Wolf looked awesome last night. Shots were like 15-3 at one point and it had to be frustrating for Seattle.

PP with legit snipers like Matty and Gridin, QBed by Zayne, Zary and Bru. That's a tantalizing future!

It won't be long (if it's not already there) that Gridin, Suniev, and Honzek surpass Klapka on the depth chart. All three will start with the Wranglers, but Huska will be throwing banana peels at Klapka hoping to get a good look at one of those three at some point. Gridin, in the last two games, has moved to the top of that grouping. He looks like a real deal. He's bigger and stronger than I expected. The shootout shot was something, but even his first goal was a rocket.

I agree on Morton and think he makes it as the 14th forward. Miromanov is the casualty and they start with 7D

Funny how the Gridin pick went from "at least they got Basha in the second round so no damage done" to "MATVEI!"

The 2024 draft in general is starting to look like it'll be our Heiskanen/Roberts/Oettenger draft.

Zayne looks like a franchise player. Gridin looks like he could be a top line winger. And Basha/Battaglia/Mews all have skillsets that makes it look like they'll be contributors at the NHL level in the near future. Never mind Misa, Laing, and the others where we could still get a couple of NHLers out of that group too.

He shouldn't be playing more than 4th liner minutes. He gets very exposed the second he plays against top 4 dmen and good top lines.

He's an energy guy through and through. A bigger Walker Duehr.
