I wouldnt count any of the 2nd and 3rd rounders out. Olofsson, Ylonen, Hillis and Harris are good players.
Not sure about Hillis but I am high on Romanov, Ylonen, Olofsson, and Harris.

It's a Trevor Timmons 7th round special!
Agreed. Also, our seventh round pick Brett Stapley seems to be doing just fine with 10 points in 10 games in the NCAA.
How good was Romanov in the Jr Russia vs CHL super series? I didn't get a chance to watch these games. He had 1 goal in 6 games and was a +1? What role did he play on that Russian team? I read a report recently that he looked very good?
Can't wait to see him in the U20's! Habs will have 6 or 7 players in that tournament (not even counting Kotkaniemi).
He didn't stand out either way, for me. He can skate though.
He’s better at those then he is 1st round picks it seems.
Primeau, Stapley and Evans vs. Scherbak, McCarron and Beaulieu.
Well, this can kill the Canadiens hate russians debate for a while
People should probably have better evidence before calling a guy a racist. It's a particularly ugly allegation to just fling around like it's confetti.that's an odd conclusion, since EVERY Russian player from this team is gone since CJ became HC. So he talked to a kid, it's his job, what's he going to do tell MB to go **** himself I'm not talking to that damn kid he's Russian?

never called him a racist, just that all the Russians are gone since he took over. It's either coincidence or it's not.

There could be a reason other than race, which the far most likely reason.that's an odd conclusion, since EVERY Russian player from this team is gone since CJ became HC.

You are definitely insinuating that he has something against them, aren't you?
It's not odd at all. Players don't work out under coaches for reasons other than their ethnicity. Players come and players go. That two of them were Russian doesn't even a sniff of prejudice make.it's impossible for us to know, but for an organization that always seemed to have at least one or two Russians on it, it's certainly a bit odd that in one year or so since CJ came here they are all gone. It's not like he treated Galchenyuk and Scherbak that well, I mean Scherbak didn't even get to play a game this year. I said over the summer that Scherbak would never fit in under CJ likely for the same reasons as Galchenyuk, could all just be coincidence and if one or both of Galchenyuk/Scherbak played defensively they might still be here.
Either way it's odd and there's no harm in pointing it out.
I'm surprised there even was a debate
