97. Hunter Brzustewicz

72. Samuel Honzek

50. Cullen Potter

19. Cole Reschny

2. Zayne Parekh

The rebuild is well and truly underway! I'm very excited about these players. If Parekh figures out how to defend, he has the possibility to be a Norris winner. The world juniors solidified every single opinion I had on the kid, ironically. Unreal on offense, but non-existent on defense. I stopped counting how many two-on-ones he gave up. Its alright though, he changed his play style for the juniors and tying the offense and defense together is just part of the progress.

I'm also very excited about Cole Reschny. I watched him play in Victoria and have followed his career closely since, and his playmaking and vision have been nhl-caliber since he was 17. He'll need a couple years to develop because he's relatively small and would get bullied in the nhl right now, but he has the potential to have huge success in the future.

What do you guys think? Is this a group of young prospects we can build a championship-caliber team around? Obviously the rebuild is still in the beginning stages, but I think we're off to a great start.

  1. Imo Parekh is boom or bust, no in-between. Hes either an 80 point defenseman, or he wont be in the NHL.

  2. I think we got a potential #1D in Parehk and I’m pretty confident Reshny can become a #2C. Bruz I think can be. Middle pairing dman. The rest of the guys are good prospects but still have no idea what happens. Potter can turn into a star but also a bust. Conroy did pick a lot of boom/bust picks. I think we really could use a top 5 or even better top 3 pick this year. We need one maybe two more players up front to build around and then I think we have a great pool to fill out the rest of the roster

  4. The more on the list the better our chances some turn out as solid NHL difference makers. Bring on a few more first rounders!

  5. Eric Jamieson is starting to kind of come around too. Decent chance of being a bottom pairing guy in a few years
