Here we see a fair number of D-men and Goalies. They tend to be a bit harder to project than forwards, so it's not surprising that we see a good proportion of late round steals that are D or G. Some decent representation from the Shuck clan here. Bryce with 2 (Smith and Nuttivaara), Rex with 2 (Brown and the infamous Rittich) and Kirk with 1 (Lee). Overall, some really great 5th round value here with vets like Spurgeon, Reimer, Hjalmarsson, Jones. I expect with a few more years under their belts, Connor Brown and Brandon Tanev will end up even higher on this list. Other solid picks by current GMs include Kevin (Georgiev), Jordan (Reimer), Jared (Kahun) and Jesse (Stecher)
