[mikethompson]

looks like S.J made his pick so with the 176th pick in this years NHL Entry Draft the Vancouver Canuks are going to take from the the Regina Pats of the WHL forward Brett Leffler. 6foot 198 pounds 26 points in 69 games, very solid player.

 

[Louis Houde]

With the 181st pick, the Flyers select D Robert Bortuzzo of the Kitchener Rangers. He is a big young man (6'3", 195 lb.) who will fill out more, and is a righthanded shot. This is Philadelphia's last pick in the draft. The complete list of 2007 draftees is as follows:

1st - Patrick Kane
29th - Ryan McDonagh
59th - Jens Hellgren
121st - Colin Haas
149th - Josh Unice
151st - Matt Marshall
181st - Robert Bortuzzo

I think that I did pretty well, if I do say so myself.

Ottawa is on the clock and has been PM'ed.

6'0, 180lbs. Committed to Boston University for next season.

Strengths:
- great dangle, always wanted the puck on his stick and has a great, sniping shot.
- has played in all situations on the ice, named to this all division team.

Weaknesses:
- skating is an issue though has been working on it and will continue to at BU.
- playing on weak team may have made him look better as he saw more ice time, conversely could be seen as advantage as gained more experience.

Florida's time is up and I'm next so could we get a veto on the go so I don't get scammed and have to make my pick by the wee hours of the morning which I'll be unable to do cause I'll be sleeping.

Flames got Tyler Johnson

Toronto sent me their selection :
With the 191st overall selection in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs are pleased to select from Linkopings HC, of the J20 Superelit League, Goaltender Christian Engstrand.

Assests:
- has excellent rebound control
- plays with great composure

Flaws:
- isn't very big so he doesn't cover much net
- is trapped in a log-jam of goaltenders in Linkopings so it may be a while before he gets tested at a high level on a consistant basis


NYI are on the clock
