If we were picking #1 I would take McKenna. He said top 3, so figured McKenna is a lock for anybody at #1.

Don’t know that I’m ready to commit to an order but the top 3 are McKenna, Ivar Stenberg and Belchetz. At least for right now, I probably lean towards Ivar as my top choice. Seems to have a bit more of a motor than the other two IMO.

If they’re in the Top 5 and the big 3 are gone, it’s gotta be Ethan Belchetz, the manchild.

But if they do their usual meaningless draft killin win streak towards the end of the year and slide down …Im startin to really dig Chase Reid…THE CHASE FOR CHASE.

I don't want any skater that has to first "adjust to North American Ice".

McKenna or bust

I see what you did there. Gave yourself a just incase out on the slim chance we get a top 5, top 3 or whatever. Then you get to say “well i only wanted the guy going number 1”

I've had the "Blues Bad" disease for too long. I lost my nuance somewhere along that way.
