[Freaky Habs Fan]

Good job but Pouliot and Skille are to low and Lascek will not go in the first 3 round...

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

And theres absolutely no chance Ryan goes before Brule. Unless Bobby Clarke is picking.

 

[MrMastodonFarm*]

And theres absolutely no chance Ryan goes before Brule. .

How can you guarantee that?

 

[Quiet Robert]

Good job on the list. But I think you missed Cogliano. It seems he might go in the late first round. Personally I see Shirokov going later, but who knows someone might take a shot at him. Third round would really be the earliest though.

Where is Joe Barnes slated to go? He passed on last year's draft, which might bump him down, but he's a good player. I also didn't know Brophey could be going so high. Mid second round is high but he's got good size and skill.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

How can you guarantee that?

Rick Dudley already hinted that if Chicago has #2 they will take Brule..

 

[Gardebut30]

Rick Dudley already said if Chicago has #2 they will take Brule..

where, when did he say this? curious

 

[MrMastodonFarm*]

Got a link?

Secondly, since when was Chicago given the 2nd overall pick?

 

[K9]

I'm not sure, but if you took team needs into consideration, Levasseur at 18 doesn't work for Montreal. Other than that, everything looks good.

I edited, he didn't actually say ''Yeah if get #2 we will take Brule'' He just hinted towards it. It was on Shaw BTW.

 

[MrMastodonFarm*]

I edited, he didn't actually say ''Yeah if get #1 we will take Brule'' He just hinted towards it. It was on Shaw BTW.

Was it the local Vancouver Shaw? Doing a report for the Giants?

 

[firstroundbust]

Good job but Pouliot and Skille are to low and Lascek will not go in the first 3 round...

you know this how?

 

[FREE DENTAL CARE]

LaVallee at #72

I predict LaVallee will go higher; somewhere around 45-55.

 

[ZombieMatt]

I suspect Bartulis > Gragnani (although there isn't a tremendous gap), but one guy can always go higher than expected if one team likes him enough.

 

[FedorScores]

Fristche will go higher.

 

[Sabes]

No Mike Gauthier in the top 90?

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

No Mike Gauthier in the top 90?

Serious injury may scare some scouts, but if he can come back and play well in the playoffs he'll be fine.

Responses:

I see Brule falling because of his size. Maybe, maybe not, but I'm sure the hawks want a forward, so you're probably right.

Pouliot, IMO, might slip to 14th

I know Stan Laszek won't go in the 3rd, but I wanted to make things interesting.

I didn't specify teams, so 18th isn't necessarily the habs.

Yes, I did forget Cogliano, sorry. I don't think he'll go 1st round though... I think 35-45.

No Mike Gauthier in the top 30, no.

 

[BlueBleeder]

If the Blues pick at 17, I like it Bergfors and Zubov. I could see the Blues taking Stastny in the 3rd though.

 

[katodelder]

Syvret? Because of age will he drop to 4th and below?

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

No... like I said, I'm far from an expert. I'm not a Syvret fan, he tried out for us. I wish him all the best, but I don't care for his game. Age means little in this draft because Hensick, LaVallee and Yandle should all go by the end of the 4th, IMO.

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

Fristche will go higher.

Think so? I've heard great stuff about him. But Danny is much better and went mid-2nd.

 

[Old Hickory]

Nice job. I would disagree with a couple of them, but overall good job!

Paul Stastny 2nd Round for sure....
