I like Dillon's demeanor and physical play, but he aint real fleet footed. Nice to have a guy who actually can clear the crease though.
Not too surprising considering Kempney

though I've not seen him play in two years so I don't know how far his game has fallen

Meh. I love Karl Alzner and wish he'd been here for the Cup, but I'd have to pass on him now. He was severely declined even in his last season here. Maybe that was lots of wear and tear from the abuse and amount of playing time that season so MAYBE he could recover some with less playing time, but he was too slow 3 years ago.

Dillon is ok, but I'm not all that excited about him. I think Kempney is done. He had a good year for us in our Cup year, so I wish him well.
The draft is interesting. We take a risk on a high talent kid with injury issues. All the commentators were saying what a great move it was, but a lot of teams passed on this guy and we certainly don't have a deep farm system to be taking chances on first rounders - plus we had to trade away a pick to move up a couple spots to get him. I hope I'm proven wrong and this kid is a steal.
