Moderator Ricer13 2,829 Posted August 5 Moderator Share Posted August 5 General Manager Kris Rice was most certainly stuck trying to decide what he wanted to do with Miami’s future. Some recent moves showed he is looking to get back to being competitive but the draft showed a bit of maturity in the GMs second stint with Miami. Draw Mac was selected by Miami at pick 11 and this was an absolute need. Having no goalie is a detriment to any team and to atleast he a playoff team GM Rice saw it necessary to take this up and coming stud netminder. Dog Jagr taken at pick 12 is where the maturity set in. Rice knew he had to fill a couple positions in order to fill out his line up but didn’t get tempted by the more experienced players who would be gone after next season. Instead he went with a familiar defender who he considers a project player. He may get to work with Jagr for a couple seasons to really develop him into a pro. Andreas Andreason taken 26th OA is another player that Rice has been keeping tabs on. He’s another project player that fills a positional need now and further down the road. We will likely see Andreason spend a few seasons with Miami as he develops. I like this draft for Miami, it may not have been the most flashy but it was certainly well thought out.
