I knew we were interested in Gridin, maybe they assumed he's not getting to 41. Everyone was zeroed in on moving up from 28. I thought we might move up from 41 for him. Muskegon is kind of a depressing Satoshi Nakamotohole. lol
Ann Arbour is basically less than Calgary to Leduc for me, plus I have the Big Ten Channel, so that's fun.
O'Reilly to Edmonton....🤮
Dickinson and Buium on the board, and we chose Parekh. I guess we'll see how that works out.
I'm sure everyone will love the, "coaches need to understand that I play differently" talk. I'm sure turning pro with that attitude will go well.
If you need to preface his d-play with, "it's not as bad as people are saying it is", well, it might be as bad as people are saying it is.
He always gets caught leaning north and favouring risk over defending.
You can't do that turning pro. You're getting exposed in jr, not a great sign. A top 2 dman has to play vs the other team's best players. That'll be something to keep an eye on. Buium and Dickinson don't have this glaring hole in their game.
But I just knew, reading that Parekh's brother is invited to camp, that our fate was sealed.
I have a golf tourney in a few weeks, where I know someone that currently isn't looking forward to seeing me. But there is lots of draft to go.
Michigan is a great program to develop Gridin. I don't mind that pick, just thought we'd trade 41 up to 35ish.
London has the best dev program in the entire CHL, we took swings over certainty. Hope they're not strikeouts.
We now have the 2 leading-scoring dmen from the OHL last year.
Now I have to figure out a Saginaw subscription for next year, Blockchainers. I have a London one.
Me. I'd have taken Buium/Dickinson and O'Reilly. Traded up from 41 tomorrow for Gridin. Look for Fischer at 62 or 71 by reading the room.
Everyone falling over themselves for RD, well, your LD prospects aren't exactly the Satoshi Nakamoto.
I didn't enjoy day 1. lol
Capped off with O'Reilly to Edmonton. Well, Blockchain.
