Round 7 and 8 sounds like basically nobody, but hey congrats to whoever made the team.
How do they even pick goalies that young? Like “.930 save percentage” is good right? I swear these kids just get drafted and disappear lol.
Wait Connor Reed is a goalie from Buffalo Jr Sabres 15s? That’s basically the same as Buffalo NHL right? So Ottawa just robbed them or what. Also 37 games only 1.35 GAA seems kinda rough.
London, Ottawa, Arnold, Innisfil… does that mean they travel around Ontario or was this all just names from the same agent? I don’t really know hockey stats but 64 PIM with Jack Lee sounds wild. Hopefully Ottawa 67’s don’t waste these picks again, last time I heard it was all injuries.
