Reign Nateo said:Sometimes guys like this just get overlooked. He did some things that scouts didn't like (habits in goal I mean) he'll probably get a pro contract from someone and start in the ECHL.
Puckz said:Will probably get a few pro-tryouts... Personally I don't think he's all that great, solid most definitely but not outstanding. Collapsed in the Mem Cup last year, there was talk about Kelowna trying to acquire a better goalie such as Harding, obviously that didn't happen. He takes alot of criticism that the reason he does so well is the team in front of him. But as a said, decent goalie, just nothing amazing. Holds the WHL shutout record too.

I think it is all abut timing .... Gaurd was overlooked in the draft and has been a late developer.. at the entry draft teams usually like to draft the younger kids and Guard will probably just get signed now to a pro tryout ... No need to waste a draft pick on him NOW..
Kelowna is guaranteed to be in the Memorial Cup again and his performance will be closely watched and his future could depend on his success or failure ...
