Both of his sisters play soccer for Austin Peay. I highly doubt he holds out for UFA.
Unless they dont stay here after they graduate.

Happy with Fabbro! Would have been interesting to see if Poile would have drafted him over Chychrun. The only thing that bothers me is that Fabbro, Dougherty and Carrier all shoot from right. Well we need another defenseman in this draft anyway so then it might be a turn for a leftie.
I don't think prospects look at the Vesey situation and think, " what's wrong with Nashville? " . I think they look at it as a guy who had a chance to determine his own situation and took advantage of it. Nashville isn't the only team it's happened to, and at least one did the same to Chicago.
Still a very small D. They typically look good at junior hockey. If he puts on 20 pounds, he'll probably play at 205. The NHL has 215-230 pound wingers not 175 pound juniors. He better be really quick or he'll get beat to death. In addition, going to college in Boston all he'll hear for 3 or 4 years is become a free agent, sign with Boston, play in the East against real hockey teams, Nashville is a hick town not a hockey town, etc., etc. I believe there's only about a 50-50 chance he'll ever play in the NHL; maybe 60-40 that he'll become a free agent. Marginal pick at best. But I wish him well, Preds will need D in 3 or 4 years.

If the Preds ever put on a production of the Wizard Of Oz they've got the Munchkins. And on D!
All I know is he's said he grew up loving the Preds and that Weber is his favorite player.Love this pick, this is who I was rooting for (I know, easy to say now after its done). Now to sign a good FA LW and somehow get rid of Ribeiro and I'm super happy with the team.
I know Fabbro said that Nashville was his favorite team but other posters are saying other teams? Did anyone see anything about that?
