2019 NHL Entry Draft

NJD trades #55 to SJS for #82 & #91

I won't get mad at the Habs reaching in the second because it's a lottery in a weak-ish draft. At this point, I'm all for going for getting as many lottery balls as possible and just going for projects.

Struble kept impressing as his prep season went along. He’s a very good skater who projects as a push-rushing defenseman. He joins the rush easily and can push the pace. Struble also closes on checks very well, and combined with the fact he loves to play the body, he’s often a force with his body checks. He’s a skilled puck handler who can make plays to gain the zone and can saucer pucks well. He flashes an understanding of how to create offense, but often he throws pucks away, turns pucks over in bad spots and doesn’t make the right play at the right time. Struble has a reputation for having a hot temper, and while he plays physical, he can go over the line at times. Let’s just say when I made a trip out to watch him he got thrown out of the game early, and it wasn’t the first time.
