Season 66 draft

[Juddy 13]

In the season 66 draft the top 5 players selected were all forwards, the very first defensemen selected was Charlie Paddywagon at six overall to Davos. At 6’4” Charlie is a big body but also turned into a good skater and puck handler. His rookie season was a bit of a let down, with only 15 assists and a single goal and his defensive stats don’t really jump out either. Each year he has made steady improvements. In a re draft scenario he would’ve been selected third or fourth overall taking the place of Mars.

 

The next pick was the second defensemen taken in the draft. Jerry Garcia has turned into a really good two way defender who can bang in the corners but also quarterback the power play. His rookie season he has 27 assists and 31 points. He also had 119 hits and 145 shots blocked. He has improved in all those stats each year in the league. If we were to re draft he’d go third or fourth overall, and the team at 3 would have a hard choice between Paddywagon and Garcia, but would get a great player either way.
