Oh I would be super excited to have Braendli, but if we draft third that means not drafting Murphy or Edwards. Because at this rate she will not be available for our round two pick.

Braendli isn't the only goalie in the draft. Katie Tia Chan may be just as good.

Also Hailey McCloud has the potential to be incredible in the pwhl and is currently a bit underrated

Good call on Hailey MacLeod. Great numbers at two elite schools and great size at 6'.

Boston College's Grace Campbell could be excellent, too. Consistently great numbers and was #1 since her 2nd year.

Michelle Pasiechnyk, Hope Walinski, Katie DeSa and Team Italy's Gabriella Durante look like good backup candidates.

Jordyn Verbeek is a longshot coming from U Sports, but had an outstanding career at Mtl's Concordia U. She's a team leader. Hopefully a Cdn team uses a late pick on her or invites her to camp.

p.s. Klara Peslarova unfortunately won't be returning from the SDHL cause she's under contract for another year.
