Holding the seventh overall pick, Soo Greyhounds general manager Kyle Raftis said a high number of returnees has an impact on how the team is approaching the Canadian Hockey League's annual import draft
The Ontario Hockey League team is slated to pick seventh overall in the Canadian Hockey League’s annual import draft, which begins at 11 a.m. Wednesday morning.
“I’m excited about it because sometimes when you’re picking in the fifties, which we’ve done a fair amount of times, it’s a little bit more of you’re going through that process of do you take a swing at a high-end player? Do you take someone that’s just going to report or do you take a guy that’s fifty-fifty?,” Raftis said. “Where we’re picking here, we have that ability of you want to make sure it’s an impact player.
“It’s not like you need somebody to come over and wear a uniform,” Raftis said. “You want someone that’s going to add to the group, whether they’re pushing a guy out or however it shakes out. You want to make sure that you add that depth in whatever spot it’s going to come in to.”
