So with Squires, I had him ranked as an honorable mention, which is fair game to me at 122. Loved his progression. Went from a complete no name at the start of the year to a halfway decent prospect. I don't know if there's anything he does exceptionally well, there's a bit of scoring, a bit of physicality, some decent playmaking, and in general he's just someone I'd feel comfortable having on the ice. Super smart player, very obvious pro mentality to how he approaches the game, he's not gonna put you at risk trying to do more than he should. Again, sort of in the Hameenaho mold, this feels like a player type you try to trade for at the deadline to bolster your bottom 6. Is that the best use of a draft pick? Ehh. But 122 is ok, I'm pretty sure Button is a fan of his. Now clearly, I don't view him as a high skill player. I won't even come out and say what I think the likelihood of him making the NHL is. I'm fine with the compete but it's not quite high end enough that, when combined with his meh skating, I can project him like that. But what I will say is, the rapid progression over the course of the season is at least interesting to me and could lead to more being under the hood than we currently see. By far, though, the best part about this kid is his character. I'm not just hyping up anyone, he's been majorly invested in community outreach, and from his interviews you can tell it truly matters to him. This is a special level of character I don't commonly see get highlighted in draft eligibles. Not that anyone really wants that to be my favorite part of this selection lol but he deserves the recognition. Good kid, ok prospect, but oddly redundant to the Hameenaho selection.
