There was no one specific need for the Maine Nordiques during the North American Hockey League’s Entry Draft on Wednesday, with the Nordiques instead selecting four defensemen, two forwards and a goaltender.
The team only made seven picks in the 20-round draft, with 23 players already on the organization’s 30-man protected list prior to the draft.
“We tried to add to our depth, acquire talent, we made picks for different reasons,” Maine Nordiques coach Nolan Howe said. “Whether it’s impact (players), whether it’s guys we want to see progress through the (Maine Nordiques) Academy. We utilized the draft in many different ways, depending on the situation.”
