It’s funny… I wanted the team to get bigger for years just like grinder. However, I wanted those guys to also be good players lol. Jesse Marshall had some good things to say about a few of our draft picks. IMO, he’s one of the best Pens analysts. I have to admit, I was a bit bummed originally with our picks because none of the “insiders” mentioned any of the players we picked. Obviously, it’s such a crap shoot.
Yeah it seems like analysts that do real deep dives into prospects are much higher on our draft than the major talking heads whose job more revolves around surface level stuff about well known names.
As I’ve said all along, I know dick about NHL draft prospects. If I didn’t spend time reading about Martone, McQueen, OBrien, Bear, and Eklund before the draft and just read Marshall’s reviews blind without preconceived biases, I’d be pretty happy with our outcome.
