Finding out he was drafted when I just happened to be walking by a bar and seeing it on a soundless tv while having NO idea (I knew the top 2, Broberg and I saw that Philly just took York) who was taken before our pick was the BEST way to see it hahaha. I just died laughing when I saw his name flash up on the screen. Eff me there was no way I thought he'd be there.
oh.. that smile.. instant Chemistry with Kotkaniemi!Coleslaw Garfield going to be a good one!
That smile, that damned smile!
Playing poker against a known bluffer. Flop comes and you fill out an ace high straight, two suited cards are in the flop. You raise, the bluffer calls. The turn card is nothing, you raise big. Bluffer calls again. Then comes the river, now there are three suited cards on the board. You make a quarter pot raise and the bluffer comes in over top of you, all in. Now what? This is how I feel about Caufield. At that position we almost have to draft him (call), but you really don't want to. I really hope it works out and we have our own Johnny Hockey, some excitement in the rink would be awesome, but I'm not sold yet.

Fowler, Forsberg and Chychrun also comes to mind.Same here, I am leery of the guys that fall, its usually for a reason. In this case it is hopefully just his size and it turns out its not an issue. I remember we got a steal in 2003 when andre K fell to 10th

Getzlaf was also a faller in 2003. I'd say he turned in to a pretty damn good NHLer.Fowler, Forsberg and Chychrun also comes to mind.
His size is the only reservation about him that I have. I love what he brings to the table. I felt like he was easily the best talent available where we were drafting, so it feels like we had to draft him.2 questions:
1) Why do you feel we "have to draft him" at 15?
2) What are your reservations/dislikes about him?

What time is the game against UBC at today?
I don't follow the prospects nearly enough to take my own opinion seriously. Just hope Timmins and his staff got it right.
