And it's not exactly clear if Bigras and Bleackley were "his guys." Geertsen probably wasn't, but the other two kinda fit his mold in certain senses, though Bigras seems to fit his mold for forwards more than D men, which is weird, but he's also an OHL guy.
I'm ok with parting with Pracey if they prove they can still have an eye for talent without him, but I think he's getting way too much heat for some subpar draft classes and lack of picks. Especially when you consider guys like Pickard and Butcher are coming along well so far too.
Hell, even Landy should be credited to him IMO. That was not an easy pick by any means. He fit all of Pracey's criteria, and they were really high on him, and look how it turned out?

Not positive, but when they did a recap of the draft I seem to remember Pracey being extremely excited with Bigras. And I believe Butcher as well.

That was a beauty, really important goal to put them up by 2 too.
Read that Bleackley is supposed to play wing tonight, we'll see how long it lasts.

I didnt see the game but I noticed Sevc only played 11 minutes, if he is hurt, Lindholm will be taking over some of his heavy minutes I imagine.

Sounds like Lindholm is a good playoff performer. Should he ever come over, what type of role would you guys see him play on the Monsters or Avs?
Nantel just had a really nice assist, put some moves on for a SOG and his teammate put the rebound in. Pepin is having a good game too, physical (makes a hit any chance he gets), playing some decent defense, had an assist and showing some nice hands. Nantel added a goal at the end too.

I'm not confident enough to say, I haven't seen enough of him with my own eyes. But he is described as a good skater with high hockey IQ. Physicality and offense aren't fully there yet, we'll see which way it goes.

There's an ongoing thread about the most positive thing(s) about the Avs season.
What do you all think are the biggest Avs prospect system positives for the 2014-15 season? (I see we have two threads for organizational prospects, wasn't sure where to post this)

More then a few prospects taking that next step that they needed to. The prospects that I believe took that next necessary step are:
Bleackley
Nantel
Martin
Bigras
Pickard
Geertsen
Might have missed one or two but that's about it.
