Got some decent sandpaper in the prospect pool now
Gaudette
Lockwood
Gadjovich
Lind
Woo
Tryamkin (yes he will be back)
Sandpaper that can skate, aside from maybe Gadjovich who needs to work on his. The rest of the guys are very good skaters and that’s a big thing for this league now.
Hughes I’m happy with, kid could probably make the team next year though my guess is they either send him back to Michigan to play with our pick next year (Jack) or to the AHL. He’s small but incredibly exciting to watch, very smart, can play both sides. Will need a big strong d partner to assist as he will get out-muscled, but I really like what Brackett and co did here, his skill set is badly needed.
Woo is interesting- started off really well and then hurt his shoulder. When he came back Clague had been acquired and taken many of the offensive zone starts that were Woo’s before. Kid can really skate, likes to hit, RH shot. Checks a lot of boxes and another skill set we don’t have in the prospect pool.
Madden is a big swing type of pick - very fast skater, tons of skill, very slight at 150 pounds. If he can get up to 170-175 and not lose the speed he will be a prototype 3rd line Center just like his dad was. Again I like the big swings at high upside guys, much better than safe picks.
Still a few late rounders to go. Let’s see who else we add.
