You really think Tarasenko will fall to 14 th

he has hinted he wants to stay in russia so i can see him drop to mid 1st from 5-8

i do agree he is better then the 14th best player

 

[Addison Rae]

he has hinted he wants to stay in russia so i can see him drop to mid 1st from 5-8

i do agree he is better then the 14th best player

I would say he is the 8 th best player in the draft Behind Hall,Fowler,Seguin,Kabanov,Mcfarland,and Gormley,but your right he may slip

he has hinted he wants to stay in russia so i can see him drop to mid 1st from 5-8

People keep saying this, but I've yet to see a source. Do you have one?

 

[JeromeHP]

as a habs fan i have no issue with Connoly to montreal

 

[ChesterNimitz]

as a habs fan i have no issue with Connoly to montreal

Though both are excellent prospects; after having an opportunity to watch them play in game six of the Super Series, I believe Howden's skill set and ultimate upside - related to NHL style of play - is higher than Connoly's. But I agree with you, and would add, that either player would look good in a Montreal uniform.

That is all.

goalie at 11?

I think Buffalo takes Skinner if hes still on the board.
