Waddell’s scouting notes from the combine highlight disciplined prospects, with a potential top-14 pick, though he’s open to trading down for future assets. Internal prospects and AHL talent are under review, but draft picks aren’t biased by affiliation. Smith and Cleveland’s top performers are in the mix. Waddell’s eyes are on scoring veterans like Johnson and Voronkov to breakout early, while managing cap space for key UFA contracts. A top-nine winger and third goalie remain critical needs, with free agency talks ongoing but not guaranteed to bring back all UFA targets.
