Danick Paquette (a '90 born enforcer)

[wings5]

Looks like Alex Bourret junior, a tank on skates.

He's more in the Steve Downie/Jordin Tootoo mode than anything else. Lot of hitting, very in-your-face, 3rd-line offensive ceiling and not afraid to dance with the guys he pisses off.

Paquette is a girls name.

Drafted 3rd round #63 overall by Atlanta.

And anyone doubting that he would ever get drafted ... you have no idea how close he came to being taken in the late first round ... trades and moves pushed him back but, he was close to walking up on stage on Friday night.

Who would have picked him? I mean, sure there was some moves, but he was selected in the 3rd round...I can't see how he was almost a first round pick.

Maybe ATL thought they might be able to get Lauveille later? Then decided they better get him in the 1st?? Just a thought.

Paquette simply doesn't have 1st round talent, IMO.

No, Atlanta knew they had to take Leveille where they did or lose him.
