Oops. Sorry.
S'all good. My list isn't public haha. My list is fairly close to CA's though, since I was one of the 5 that made that list.

The inabilities to get deals done seem like it's from him being to cheap and always trying to make to good of a deal for the team. That's like hitting my head against a brick wall and feeling sorry for myself. You have to give to get. And Chevy does not want to give.
What really caught my attention though was some of the underlying stats surrounding his time in the Finnish Liiga. Many operated under the assumption that Vesalainen�s stint in Liiga this season was largely a disappointment � myself included. Yet digging deeper into the fancy stats that Liiga posts on their website paints a picture of bad luck more than anything. Vesalainen�s Corsi-For percentage in Liiga was a whopping 60.8 percent. Granted, that�s only in nine games, but he managed to accumulate a shot differential of +43 in that short time (+121/-78), averaging 16:31 of ice time, while also averaging an even 3.0 shots per game, which is also impressive. Vesalainen finally scored on his 27th and final shot on goal.
The explanation for only notching a single goal probably lies somewhere between his 3.7% personal shooting percentage, his 2.5% on-ice shooting percentage and the fact that he got just 59 second of power play time. It�s likely that Vesalainen deserved much better results during his time in Finland, but alas after that ninth game his time there was up, as he headed to the World Junior camp.

For all the people bringing up character issues, ill remind you that they said the same exact thing about Laine last year. Does anyone have a problem with Laine's character now? .........
If you want to be negative, the difference is, that Laine's behavioural issues were handled and dealt with. Mostly because he was not allowed to bail out and get that 'clean slate, new beginning in the new surroundings' crap. Vesalainen more or less has always bailed what I have heard from.
But he is also a young kid and life will teach him. And hopefully he will not be allowed to just move on to next place, when things don't go as he wish from now on.
I don't have a video for this year because I'm working closely with Mark Edwards/Hockey Prospect... but here's what I made before February.
Now that he's a Jets pick I'll be making a 2016-17 highlight video.
He didn't rap on TV, 0/10 pick.
So far so good. Got nice value at #24 and more than likely have a future NHLer. Like the pick. If we stayed at #13 likely we have a defenseman, but no more likely to be an impact player then the player we selected but in a position of greater need. Still need to address goaltending and best case scenario add a LHD.
Mark Edwards"
I'm not going to include exact quotes, but several Scouts told me that his interview was their least favourite at this years NHL Combine".
Mark dropped him due to what appear to be possible character issues.
Really talented but I have concerns about that.....hope people are wrong? Perhaps our Fin friends can expand?
I like the pick. Had him 17 on my list. He reminds me of Armia but I think he's a better skater. This will be a guy in a year or two where we say how did he fall all the way to us at 24 much like we said about Connor falling. He's a safe pick IMO and who cares if he's a winger, take BPA! Stock pile talent. Trades will happen to fill organizational need we can never have enough talent at any position. I like where Pronman had him! Hoping this kid can make dev camp.
I think they wanted this kid all along and chevy was stressing if they should move up a couple of spots to take him or just wait for those 2 picks to get chosen.
I think going to a tougher league shows some positive character. He's a kid that is confident and I think playing on the same team as Laine will be good for him. A lot of these kids are like this because they want to make the NHL, but they adjust once they're there.
