Thanks for the info. So I guess if he could have the effort of handzus he'd be a top 5 pick.

Le Golie said:Myself, not so much. My analysis of him relies mainly on the reports I have read about him from credible sources. And at the U18's I agreed with everything I had read. He seems to have really, really good offensive instincts and was really dangerous when he had a step on someone or a bit of room. He stood out.
It also looked like he took a few shifts off, which seems consistent with the knock on him.

scout46 said:Pospisil at 30 and ISS rated him at 210. So who's drinking here?

The Macho Man said:i am shocked that no one has mentioned this but... i am utterly disapointed in the reduced coverage THN gave to this year`s draft issue.
THN hascompletely sold out. and don t give me the old `it s because of the lockout`line because this is the one issue that could have and should have been un-altered from other years. the content is based on what prospects from JUNIOR leagues have done. it has nothing to do with the NHL`s inactivity.
The Macho Man said:this issue is always my favourite of the year. as a consumer i feel completely ripped off.
Vlad The Impaler said:But there is a lockout, and there is no draft planned out as of now.
I think it's already a miracle they bothered with some draft coverage when there is no draft.
The Macho Man said:just a huge huge let down. i can't believe no one else feels this way.
sjb3599 said:I agree it's a little cheap of THN, but I'm glad they released a draft preview at all.
The Macho Man said:of course they did! what else is there for them to talk or write about?
Here's hoping this isn't really their Draft Preview. It's just a brief 5-page rundown on the Top 50 hopefully as a sort of filler on a slow day, plus trying to feed the addiction of the crazed draft fans who are expecting something this time of year...sjb3599 said:I agree it's a little cheap of THN, but I'm glad they released a draft preview at all.
RussianProspects said:They are pretty accurate as far as the Russians go. Guys like Zubov might go in the first round, and they also don't mention Belov. But the rest of the second rounders are pretty good. They put too much stock in Shirokov though. While he might get picked in the second, he is not a player of that calliber.
