417 TO MTL said:
So according to your recents post...both Carey Price and Guillaume Latendresse were bad picks by the Habs...
Just asking?
I get ripped for it everytime by habs fans but Im sticking to my guns. Just to clarify it, I dont think latendresse was a bad pick AT ALL, I actually think thats about where he shoulda gone. He was ranked top 20 or so on some lists heading into the draft and I was shaking my head. Of course everyone has there own opinions on prospects much like Blind Guardian said, and my opinion on Price and Latendresse is that they are wayyy overhyped and I personally think Price is gonig to be considered a bust based on his draft position. My opinions can be altered by good play, Latendresse has actually accomplished this over the last 2 months, I hold him in higher regard than I did before the draft, but he has alot to learn IMO. I think almost everyone who makes a list of these 10 guys or however many trhere are will get flamed a bit. Im pretty sure anyone from Ontario ranks the Ontario guys higher than the Western guys and vice versa. I also believe alot of these lists people are producing should have explanations, mine didnt, but some people put Setoguchi at the bottom and it makes me scratch my head. Gregstack, I can almost guarantee you'll eat your words, Setoguchi and Omarra are two of the most sure fire NHL players on this list, Setoguchi with more upside. Seto is pretty much 2nd line or better in his NHL prime in my ipinion.
But 417, I hope Price and Latendresse prove me wrong, I can assure you that my opinion of these players warrants more value than most posters on here. I have seen every single one of these players play at least twice with the exception of Lee. Guys like Pouliot Latendresse, Omarra, Bourret, Latendresse, Staal, Bourdon and Setoguchi I have seen all at least 6 times and all of them live at least twice. Not too bad considering half of them are outside the WHL when I live in Calgary.
