What do you think about this rise for Reid throughout his, his young career, and do you where do you think that he'll ultimately land on draft day?
It's definitely impressive.
I mean, he took advantage of an opportunity to go to the Sault, and he really thrived there.
Now he's gonna end up going to Michigan State, unless he makes the NHL, you know, as an 18-year-old, which for a defenseman is usually You know, Matthew Schaffer sort of defied logic when it came to that.
from everything that I've heard, I mean, obviously McKenna is gonna be the number one pick with Toronto, although there were, early on there were some mentions of, you know, the Leafs wanting a, a defenseman and maybe going that way.
But it sounds like McKenna's, you know, like a 99.9% he's gonna go, one.
You know, there's a lot of talk about Reid going two to San Jos.
But there are, there's a, just a group of defensemen in this draft with, you know, Rudolf and Smits and Reid.
And, you know, it's just really a, a, a great, accumulation of young defensive talent.
So if he doesn't go two, I don't see him going out of the top five.
But it all depends on what some of these teams You know, they might like particular traits of these defensemen and, you know, a guy like a Smits who might be more cl- closer to making the NHL, after playing at the World Junior and the Olympics, you know, that somebody like that might be a little further ahead.
But, you know, Reid in a year or two will probably be in the NHL and be a very good one.
So I think he's gonna go two to San Jos.
