2024 NHL MOCK DRAFT (LOTTERY PICKS) 

Could not agree more with you. Especially when you consider how well he could pair with more offensive guys like Drysdale or Bonk long-term.

I don't believe any of the official outlets had confirmed his size at the time of recording, so thanks for providing the specific dimensions!

That’s a totally fair opinion. I guess it comes down to the fact we’re higher on Solberg than you are. He projects more as a top four D man than a bottom pair guy to me. St. Louis has lost a lot of size and grit on their blue line with guys like Pietrangelo, Edmundson, Bortuzzo, and now likely Scandella leaving. So I think he fills a need on the team and based on recent play I don’t think he’s a reach at 16 and may honestly go higher. Although we disagree, thanks for you comment and opinion!

Hadn’t seen anywhere that they were specifically avoiding him, so thanks for the comment! Not sure why they would though, the kid is a stud and just what they need in my opinion. I think Lindstrom or Iginla are Montreal’s best fits personally.

In a perfect world I would love to see that. Unfortunately I think his stock has risen so much it’s unlikely he’ll still be around at 9, if Calgary wants him they may have to move up. Rooting for the Iginla 2.0 storyline though!
