But if Couture can be faster, he'll be a stud...
I think he's already a stud, and I'd take him top ten. He's so smooth in everything he does, and is such a bull on his skates. He reminds me of Patrik Elias.

It's true for Pittsburgh, but I'm sure they would not pass on a defenceman with a high potential. Not saying Blum is there man, but if, on their list, he's the BPA, they will take him and choose more winger after that...
pretty damn good, you gave reasons for the picks.
But I would rather take Petrecki than Patty White...
Yeah I know...I did like 70% BPA, and 30% needs...maybe I wrote that in a needs wayAppreciate the time it took to put the list/analysis together.
Though I do think that BPA vs need should be like 90>10 ratio, imo
I don't think Lombardi will select Cherepanov. Regardless of the kids talent, he's not big on there not being a transfer agreement.
I find this a little funny, because nothing has changed in regards to Russian labor laws, so If a team wants to sign Cherepanov all he has to do is give 2 weeks notice.
The Russians have tried and failed TWICE now trying to stop players from signing with NHL teams( Ovechkin, Malkin).
The Transfer agreement will not affect an elite level prospect.

i dont agree. IMO cherepanov and kane has the most potential. just my opinion
FHF, good work here, a lot of research and well written.
However, you're way off base with this Penguins peice.

There is no way we draft a defenseman. Especially a two-way one. Considering we have some of the best out of the recent years.
Crosby, Stone, Malkin, Staal at center.
We need wings. Bad. John Filewich is our ONLY good prospect at the wing.
The Penguins will take Oscar Moller, Billy Sweatt or David Perron. Someone in that mold. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all if we took a winger in the first three rounds this year. We're totally depleted at wing.

After Filewich, we drop off, and in a bad way.
