If we didn't already have Gryba, Cowen, Boro, Sdao, etc in the system/young guys on the team I'd be all over Morin.
At this point we need offence though. We've done a good job of stocking up on these kinds of players in the past few drafts.
I'd even rather a guy like Petan over Morin personally. I wanna go for a home run offensive player.
Petan scares me away just cause of his size 5' 9". I know hes dynamic at the CHL level but I dont think he will be that force in the Pros.
Petan would be a good pick, in the 2nd or 3rd round. A 1st rounder i'd be dissapointed.
Dang Morin has really improved his skating since I saw him last. He has become very interesting...

We will draft bpa.. Not on need.. We always do
This year I will disagree. There is clearly something we need to add and it's not a defensive defenceman. When you have a great prospect pool, once in a while you can draft for need. This is one of those years.
When you lack a potential elite offensive player, then yes, prospect pools can have needs. Scoring goals will never go out of style no matter how much the team changes and he need to add offence to the system.
We have offence... Silverberg, stone, zibby, Pageau, Prince, puemple and even noesen bring offense
Not all are one dimensional scorers like say puemple and prince but they all bring potential top 6 forward offence
If u want an elite player then u probably need to pick in the top 5 of this draft. You are right a team can never ha e enough elite players.
My point is 3 years down the line a purely offensive player not be our biggest need.
Just go bpa as we will
You're not gonna convince me so save your breath. We'll agree to disagree.
If we don't go with someone with some major offensive potential and go with a defensive player, Im gona be pissed.

every player Murray has taken in the first round for ottawa has had offensive upside
(job doesn't count)
Guys like Noesen and Zibby are 2 way forwards. Puempel has really been the only pure offensive player we've taken lately and it's still up in the air whether his development in the OHL has hurt him as a prospect. I want a Burakovsky, Zykov, Domi, etc. Even a Mantha. A Guy who had the ability to be an offensive game breaker. This draft is pretty deep in terms of offensive potential players.
Lee was just saying on the TEAM that Murray has said with the prospect pool we have we're getting to a point where we can start drafting for need. So what I was saying pretty much
AJ says he think's we will definitely go for an offensive player.
Wenberg looks really promising.
Silfverberg - Zibanejad - Wenberg
Yep.
Also why I'm not too keen on Lazar.
