So 2023 NHL draft is over

from a #LGRW POV i'm not sold 100% on either top 2 picks more so with Danielson, i think Benson would have been a better choice. Sandin Pellika was the top D still there so i can go with the Swedes pick more

These 2 choices Imo put more pressure on Yzerman to land a top 2 C by way of a trade + sealing the DeBrincat deal given Detroit's piss poor luck in getting top end franchise players from successive draft lotteries other teams walk away with guys to run their top lines offensively

The lower round picks bar Trey Augustine & Noah Dower-Nilsson were odd where the focus on big defensive D seemed to be the norm typified by Brady Cleveland

I still get the Yzerplan but really it's a kinda meh draft given the lack of scoring the team has, maybe Yzerman has decided he can't get that talent via the draft
