Addressed two needs: size and scoring. Katzin seems likely to head to Penn State at this point and the team had trouble scoring WITH him last season. It also makes them more experienced. Charlie Paquette was the only overage candidate heading into training camp. Assume the three conditional picks for Miedema are based on him returning to the OHL for his overage season. The 14th rounder just gives them his rights.
