I like the upgrade of the 2nd round euro pick. Klotz I know nothing about so cant comment on him but it looks like we're going to see a gritty team this season which is fine but we're going to need pure offensive players to.

That could be all you see this season with the season series with the Raiders.Both teams could be battling and it could and should get ugly.

i think this is good he was a rookie so dont let the numbers fool you with 2 goals and no assists he only played 30 or 35 games i think he will be good for us this year and add some goals to the team

i'm wondering if the team has a specific euro in mind and are worried somebody ahead of them will select him, otherwise why move up?

i'm hoping they pick up a couple of scoring forwards, if a solid goaltender is there and he's the best player available at that point maybe they'd take him.

they have two guys in mind and I agree two scoring forwards would be nice but a goaltender wouldnt be a bad thing either. Geez, cant wait until Wednesday haha.
