Pete Rock said:I don't think he'd crack in there. He'd go in the top ten to some poor schlep, but I'd rather have:
Ovechkin
Malkin
Olesz
Barker
Wolski
Meszaros
Tukonen
Even at just talent wise. Not that it's an indication of talent, but of those that I listed, only Wolski is playing in a junior league and at least he cracked an NHL line-up for a time. For someone with so much talent, something here says his development isn't really there right now.
Throwing in my two cents here. As someone who lives in Mississauga, I will always think of Rob Schremp as someone with attitude problems. The "I'm taking my net and going home," mentality of a spoiled 10-year old playing street hockey didn't fly with anyone in the city when he walked out on his team.
At least Spezza played when he asked for a trade.
The moment Schremp went #1 to Mississauga in the 2002 OHL draft, I thought that had the potential to blow up in Mississauga's face. His personality at the time wasn't one suited to playing for an (recent) expansion team.
