2014 NHL Draft

[theIceWookie]

Here's a few guys from the Q.

Ivan Barbashev, F: Didn't really saw him play, but seems lika a very solid prospects, good size, great offensive skills and a good two-way game.

Alexis Pepin, F: When he's on his game he's great. Big with skills, two-way game, physical, etc. Has a bomb of a shot. Will need to be more consistent. Not the same style of play, but a guy a little bit like Mantha this year. Great potential, but we'll need to be more consistent shifts to shifts.

Daniel Audette, F: Really like him. Yes he's small, but great skills and offensive instincts, works very hard and a great compete level.

Clark Bishop, F: Really like him as well. Great two-way game, compete hard and plays bigger than his size.

Carl Neill, D: D with great potential. Big, physical, good defensive and offensive potential. Can play PP, PK, all situations.

Francis Perron, F: Not overly big, but great offensive forward. Hockey IQ very high, great vision and wirst-shot. Will have a bigger role in Rouyn-Noranda next year.

Jonathan Deschamps, D: Big physical defensive defenseman.

Keep these blurbs up. I love reading about Q prospects from someone who sees them regularily.

If I remember correctly, you were a big fan of Poirier way back when no one really knew much about him

Figured I'd bump this with the Ivan Hlinka U18 tournament starting up on August 5th. Good opportunity to watch some of the Euro prospects that are hard to find video on.

Tons of big names playing in this tournament.

I'd love if the leafs drafted Brayden Point from Moose jaw, always came impressed with him after streaming Moose Jaws games during the lockout. Any prediction where he'll be drafted? I assume the 1st round, barring an awful season.

An Ekblad - Rielly pairing would be pretty ****ing sweet in the future, although if we are able to draft Ekblad than that means we had a **** season... Unless EDM is willing to trade their 1st for Liles + Colborne ...

 

[BIitz]

Hopefully I can catch a game of Nylander. Probably my best chance.

Yeah, I'll keep the update. And yeah I'm a big Poirier fan.

Really like Point as well. Just a natural offensive player. Knows how to score points, great hockey sense, skills and drive.

Kingston is going to be a fun team to watch, and they'll do it on the back of three 2014 potential first rounders (not to mention Kujanwinski and Ikonen).

Plus both Sam Bennett and Roland McKeown could go top ten (Watson is the third potential first rounder).

Very excited for the fronts this year, probably won't go to as many games as last year, but definitely going to have to make a few. Roland progressed really well last year, when he went to the under 18's the team really took a hit.

Kingston was eliminated before the U18's began? Unless he went to camp or something before they got knocked out.

Anyways, the rest of the rosters have been released.

Hopefully, we get some streams. It's early August and I need some puck to watch. This guy on youtube also posted a bunch of highlights and some full games last year, so its possible he does the same this year. http://www.youtube.com/user/drpabloramirez/videos
