[Do Make Say Think]

I played at a high level enough to know what I watch. I am no scouts, it's an opinion on a message board but I don't like the picks, at all, Chabot is soft as hell and you had a 6'3 200lbs player on the board...................

Sounds like you and Aragorn ought to get along nicely

You know what, you're right. I'll take your opinion of watching a player once over the NHL level scouts who's job it is to see which players are the best.

Colin White needs to take diction lessons or something.

 

[Benjamin]

Elite Prospects says Chabot is a quick-thinking two-way defenseman that is able to make fast decisions.

Good. That's what we need.

Desperately need.

 

[Knave]

If we're taking a soft as butter pick - isn't that risky?

A safe pick would be the 6'3 player with physicality.

 

[The Jangle Meister*]

not a lot of skill in our picks,

whats the plan Murray

both guys likely 3 years away from the NHL

and he shoots left...

Actually no we disagree a lot I like our small players like Pageau and stuff a lot more than our Greening and Cowen for exemple. Anyway I'll stop here, some disagree, some look like they agree. Time will tell.

 

[BonkTastic]

This draft is so deep... I have a hard time thinking that people are legitimately upset with these picks.

White might be a top-10 pick in a bad draft year. Chabot too.

 

[booger]

A 6'3" 200lb pylon is still a pylon.

patience padawan.

patience padawan.

You do realize you're preaching to HFSens right?

Yup that's why I said I am no scouts and it's just an opinion, good reading!


Traded Lehner for a #2-3C down the road.

So did I, and I work for a team in the Q

Chabot is not soft, he isn't punishing, but not soft at all

I know the Sens loved him

 

[Hutz]

Button thinks Colin White a future 2nd/3rd line centre

That's the problem. Would have preferred a potential 1st liner with bust potential. Sounds like he's likely to be good, but not great which is a bit disappointing to me.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Pretty much everyone outside of the top 5-8 picks are 3 years away from the NHL.

 

[Uncle Eugene]

patience padawan.

Don't tell me how to live my life.

 

[Rals]

No-noceny? :'(

 

[Sun God Nika]

COLIN WHITE
NHL COMPARABLE: BRANDON SUTTER, PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

WooHoo

Zibanejad is going to be our top line guy

You worked for a team in the Q. Fine I can get with that, you didn't prefer Svechnikov?

 

[BK201]

Chabot ranked 16 by McKenzie and by NHL central scouting.

 

[Icelevel]

Hope they don't take bittner

 

[OttawaSenators11]

The real question with those players is how do they perform in the playoffs

You can say that about anyone player even the bigger ones.

These days, it's just a myth.

Size doesn't matter in the NHL anymore

You're either a good playoff performer or you aren't

 

[guyzeur]

A 6'3" 200lb pylon is still a pylon.

you're hilarious
