7 GMs passed on Reid. 1 & 2 were layups so let’s say 5 GMs passed on him. I didn’t think it was an overly strong draft anyways so I don’t care.
I agree after 1 2 gone the rest are middle 6 type F’s & possibly a couple top 2 D. Carels I liked most & Reid has the skills. Of course never know with 17 & 18 year olds wherever picked. If the Canucks can get 2 NHLers that impact games it’s a great start. The rest develop & compete as role players. The next year in junior after next season we will see better how they transition.
