Where do you think Frechette and Legault will go in the draft? Same for Poulin.

Who would you rather draft, Vishnevskiy or Carle? I haven't seen Vishevskiy yet, trying to get a feel for where he will go in the draft and if the Habs would be interested in getting him.

Do you think Eric Castonguay of Lewiston will get drafted?

Frechette is on the top pairing in Drummondville now that is back from the injury he had which forced him to miss the 1st half. I always liked him, i say around 3rd or 4th round.

Legault, the kid was wicked at 15 and at 17 he hasnt improved as much as id hoped. He has kind of plateaued a bit. He will fall in the draft, to the late rounds in my opinion.

Poulin is a big kid, good skill set and he is having a good rookie year in the Q. Himn being a 6'04 200 lb center with good skating i cant see him lasting too long past the mid round.

Vishnevsky vs. Carle --- easily Vishnevsky. Neither are exactly physical but Vishnevsky is very talented and is a much better skater. Only really concernt with Vish is that he sometimes bails on plays when he knows hes going to get crushed.

Castonguay's draft year was 2005, i dont think he will get picked this year because he hasnt shown a big improvement, plus not getting picked last year will hurt him. Im sure he will get a camp invite and perhaps a contract down the road. I like his game but he wont be drafted more than likely.

Anything else?

seems like the mooseheads have a ton of players who could potentially go in the upcoming draft. they are doing very well considering they have a pretty young core of players. i've only seen a couple of games so far this year myself so i can't really comment on the players but to la la laprise or anybody else who has seen a lot of Q games: where do u see hillier, swan and bodnarchuk going? i see hillier was ranked third out of Q skaters when the preliminary rankings came out, and from talking to people have heard he has played very well...potential second rounder?

He has a late birthday and wasn't eligible last year.

since he's not even on most scouting radars (right now... he will be) i hope the coyotes take a mid-late round chance on brad marchand if he's still there. they likely wouldn't though cause he's not 8-foot-40. it's a homer pick i'll admit, but i really like his skill and work ethic. IMO he should be a top 10 Q prospect, if not top 5.

He's on the radar- every NHL team has any and every half-decent CHL player well tuned on to the radar. Every CHL team with a draft prospect will be seen at least 10 times by every NHL team and scouts at the games will be more than aware as to who the 2006 draft eligible guys are.

DO you think Mathieu Roy will be draft this year?

I was so surprised when nobody take him last year.

he should be picked, but if not i'm sure someone will sign him as an FA.

Hillier -- Probably late 2nd round
Bodnarchuk -- late 3rd or early 4th
Swan -- if he keeps getting hurt like he has doing probably 6th or 7th round

He has a late birthday and wasn't eligible last year.

Crap, youre right. September 18th...i missed that big time. Thanks for the clear up.

What's Ryan Mior's chances of getting drafted this year. His numbers are'nt too bad for the team he's playing on plus he's playing a ton?
