Can't hate a pick when nothing better was on the board, but Chevy better get something done in shopping all those mid 6 wingers around to actually getting something useful.

Well, anyway, Vesalainen is few years away in best case and has been underwhelming everytime I have seen him play, but I'm not a scout. But still just blaah!

Have you seen any of the u-18? Tournament MVP.

Can you give a summary of his game Whilee. I don't know anything about him.

Big. Powerful. Very good skater. Terrific skill. Was easily the best forward at the under 18 tournament. The main concern was attitude. Chevy probably did their research. I remember concerns about the attitude of another big Finnish winger last draft.

I agree this looks like bpa.....but what now? We need d

Prospects.

Morrissey - Trouba
Enstrom - Buff
____ - Myers

Sign a UFA, or just have Niku steal a job which he will have in a year.

We can use prospects, but we can get those in rounds other than the 1st. I wanted Hague or Timmins but you take the BPA regardless.

Niku is our highest "skill" d prospect atm and he was a 7th round pick.

He was a top 10 pick but concerns with his attitude dropped him.
