I knew what you meant. I was just giving you a hard time :)

You do bring up a good point about the "Q" Dmen. Yet, my point remains, I don't think that Bourdon has enough natural talent(not saying at all that Staal does) to bring any sort of "number 2" game to the NHL.

Anyhow, I feel like I'm repeating myself about Bourdon, so like you said, we'll have to see.

You certainly may be right. I think there is always going to be concerns about highly selected QMJHL defencemen.

I would have rather seen the Canucks select Staal (or Kopitar), but I'm not disappointed or angry (unlike some) that they went with Bourdon. The one immediate bonus that Bourdon brings (not compared to others, just as he is himself right now), is that he is already NHL-sized.
