Yeah I’m personally not a huge fan with the route Dubas went. I would have much rather had Eklund, but for what it’s worth, TopDown Hockey had Kindel as 8th overall, and most draft people had Zonnon in the mid-20s. Horcoff seemed like a pretty big reach, but he didn’t play a lot at Michigan so TopDown’s model wasn’t very kind to him.
Wish they would have done Eklund Kindel back to back if they were that high on Kindel. Like RW says, bottom 6 guys are a dime a dozen, would have rather swung for guys with higher upside. A lot of comparatives have Kindel compared to Brayden Point so.. hopefully that works out.
Yeah I am of the same camp. I would very happily be wrong if he ends up being pretty good.

The 3rd pick seems more like a longer term project to me. 2nd pick Jesse Marshall is in love with so I’ll take that as a good sign. I
It seemed like we could have absolutely stolen eklund and Aitcheson at our
Picks. Loved their highlights. Oh well. There is so much info that we are not privy to, including the costs to move up, etc. hopefully today we see more player movement.I have turned into a fan of our first pick.
end of the day I don’t know shit about any of these kids and won’t until they get into the AHL.
When every prospect we acquire has below nhl skating we should become a real hard team to play against. Can’t wait for how dubas will botch July 1st
idk I’m kinda into the size of the second two picks.
