2005 Draft - Who do you want?

[Moskau]

Anikeenko... ...in the 2nd round.

I like Hesh

Ryan in the Orange and Black would be a very, very nice thing to see!

Hesh.... we'll have to wait and see until later this year. He's gotten better, and he's improving every game, but I'd take a number of other defensemen before I'd take Hesh.

 

[Legionnaire]

first:
Guilaume Latendresse
Jack Johnson
Marc Staal
Andrew Cogliano
second/late first:
TJ Hensick
****ikov
third:
Stastny
Wacey Rabbit
fourth:
Steve Birnstill

I'd love to get Hensick as well. He would be a top ten pick if he were taller. He has some crazy playmaking skills.

Without question-Jack Johnson! Listed now at 6'1" 210 with 6% body fat. The most talented, toughest character kid out there.

If you ignore Gilbert Brule

What do you think of big Mike Gauthier, Jay? I saw him play at the Coliseum a couple of weeks ago and he looks damn smooth out on the ice, logging top 4 minutes. He also layed a beat down on J.D. Watt.

Yeah, the only issue I could have with Gauthier is that when I saw him, he was pretty soft for his size. Also didn't have a great shot (though nice puck skills otherwise).

I like him, but not for a first round pick.. yet at least. I haven't seen him play this year yet though, so he might have improved since I saw him last.

I'm assuming you saw him when he was 16. He didn't look soft on the ice. Though he is big, keep in mind that he's a rather slim 6'4'' 200, so he's using his size to his best abilities IMO.

He does have a decent shot but should use it more. And for him looking soft he has 62 PIM's in 17 games which is 3rd in the league and he has 6 fighting majors.

The Rangers really need a top forward to potentially lead this team... if there are any games for the Rangers to lose then they need one of these 3 IMO...

Crosby
Brule
Johnson - Leetch anyone?
