Anyone read the writeup on this boy? Brad Marchand super pest in the making.
Round 2 Draft Picks52.

) - TB LW - Gabriel Fortier (2018: 2/59 - 0 Games)
Apparently he's a dangler with a pro shot that needs to bulk up but should be good to go in 2-3yrs.

) - NYI LW - Blade Jenkins (2018: 5/134 - 0 Games)
Both these guys have a real shot at the NHL in 3-5yrs. Talents possession players with a bit of grit.
Round 4 Draft Picks94.

- NJ D - Xavier Bernard (2018: 4/110 - 0 Games)
I feel lucky to land this kid in the 4th round. Great wheels. Solid defenseman. Apparently a decent teammate.

) - Nando Eggenberger
UNDRAFTED NLA man-child. Should've gone at least top 50 but teams felt he didn't produce his own scoring chances. Time will tell how good of a longshot pick this was. I say this is a GrandSlam of a pick!
And that's you build a winner to compete in the Atlantic.
