Of course he is...he's going to the Habs after all. If Bergervin was smart he'd be shopping this pick to move back in the draft and acquire more picks. But that probably won't be happening.

Pettersson just awarded SHL rookie, SHL forward of the year and SHL MVP.
Dahlen was named the league MVP and best forward in the Allsvenskan
They're going to look great skating with Wahlstrom!

Yes, and Palmu is a finalist for rookie of the year in the Finnish League; Gaudette is the current holder of the Hobey Baker Award as the best NCAA college hockey player; and Boeser a finalist for the Calder; Tryamkin made the KHL all-star team; and Demko is an AHL stud and easily the Comets MVP. And none of these guys were drafted anywhere near the top-10 in the first round. Damn if feels uplifting to actually hit on a few later picks for a change.
Thats for sure Jack. One thing Benning has hit the nail on is all these picks youve mentioned and none top ten. Then taking Dahlen lol from Ottawa was pretty dam swift imo plus the Lipesic move SEEMS good too. I dunno if he picks the right guy at 7 I might start coming around to this guy.
He’s a rare ‘throwback’ d-man like no other.
The ‘throwback’ term usually refers to the era before puck rushing d-men; however, in his case he ‘threwback’ to the era before where forward passes weren’t allowed.

I don't see the appeal of these Cederholm type d-men.
Well, I do, but it's antiquated, "big, stay at home defenceman" type thinking that may have flown 10+ years ago, but these days even your 7th defenceman has to be able to move the puck with some basic skill. Just crosschecking guys in front of the net, like Dana Murzyn used to do, isn't going to cut it anymore.
I like Gradin and think he's one of our best scouts, but he's thrown a few of these on the board over the years and seems to have a blind spot for this type of player.

I don't understand at all how Gradin thought picking Gunnarsson over Aho was a good idea. They played in the same league so he must have watched both.

Yeah if I remember correctly they said they liked him at the WJC and the fact he played in the SHL means he could come to Utica sooner to help out

They always have incredible justifications for some of these picks, "oh he's a year older so he'll help our team sooner", blindly neglecting the fact that there were multiple highly talented 18 year olds on the board.
Not to mention the much more talented 20 year olds available if they are dead set on drafting for Utica for whatever reason.
Yeah they even find a way to **** up those picks. If you're drafting for Utica and the farm teams for any reason, you've just wasted a pick.

Makes it even funnier that Aho was an instant impact guy in the AHL this yearYeah if I remember correctly they said they liked him at the WJC and the fact he played in the SHL means he could come to Utica sooner to help out

i want the bartkowski thread back
Maybe bring back Chaput/Boucher and have them as like the 4th/5th option for callups
Otherwise all of those guys can go find a new team

We are in total agreement except for one player. Utica will only have one goalie no matter how Vancouver settles their goalie situation.
Bachman is someone who you know what you have.
Garteig has not developed into a quality backup. He couldn't wrest the job in Kalamazzo from a veteran keeper. He posted a 3.81 GAA with an .887 SV% while only playing 24 games. He would be fine in the role he served this season, playing in the Zoo and sitting behind the Utica keeper in case of an emergency.

Are you referring to former Canuck draft pick Daniel Rahimi? Though it seems he was able to carve out a career overseas (played on the same team as Canuck prospect Pettersson this past season).
I do often wonder if in the past Gradin tended to look better because he was surrounded by some pretty awful Canuck amateur scouts?

Doesn't Burke mention Gradin with respect to evaluating the Sedins? (there sure were alot of duds that draft year).
