So, now that the Gatorade Challenge is over, when will the list be posted?
I went on the Q site but I couldn't find that 1st Round page anywhere! That site is horrible LOL
Maybe the most predictable top 4 of all time? lol we knew those guys were the top all year now
Surprised Sprong wasn't 5th but he's 6th so it's not a significant drop, the guys who saw him as #1 will be surprised lol. Also not that surprised Deschenes is late first round (15th)
It's the rest of the list I'm looking forward to
I have a funny feeling that if Sprong played midget AAA all season he would be #1 or #2. This kid can play.....

How was he at the Gatorade Challenge?
Bingo! And i have been saying all year that Deschenes was not a top pick either.... Not surprised that Thomson is ahead of him. I would not be shocked one bit if Deschenes slips to the second round. Not any surprises from my perspective in that list.

Deschenes has all of the tools. I question if the kid really wants to play. His GAFF(Give A ****** Factor) is really low. Maybe he needs a break to get the passion back into his game.

if his GAFF (that's the best acronym i've seen yet!!) is an issue now, a break wont fix it. Maybe temporarily, but not to the level that it has to be in order to consistently perform at the higher levels. If you give a kid a candy bar, it will stop the crying....but only temporarily.
He could be debated to no end, but i will say this. If i had multiple picks in the first, i would not hesitate taking him in a minute, knowing that his success is not mandatory. If i have only 1 pick in the 1st round, with the amount of great dmen available, i'm not risking it on him. I'd be going with someone who has played well and progressed this year. Two things that he has not been able to do much of this year.

That being said, he was still the best 97 DMan we saw in the Midget league this year. Had Thompson been in the league perhaps he would have shown he was better than Deschense. Like Adam I am interested in the other rounds, the first round was very predictable. Anyone think the NB kids will move up the rankings? Will NS kids go down?
Philippe Myers was excellent last weekend, played a very physical game in the 3rd place game vs NFLD.
