And Wes O'Neil and TJ Hencik.. I got the game tape of Notre Dame vs's Michigan off Tivo on friday night as the game was on Fox Sports Michigan. I have no idea what people see in Wes O'Neil. Hell, I think I would have drafted Wes Anderson (or even Wes Craven) ahead of O'Neil, but GM's love height. O'Neil is a log. NHL? Ha... ND was totally overmatched by Michigan though so maybe O'Neil just couldn't elevate his game to the level of his competition. Take 3 inches off his height and a lot of NHL scouts don't give him a 2nd look.
Now, for Mr. Montoya, all I can say is I think he's nearly NHL ready. He had to be the BEST goalie in the draft last year, I refuse to believe there was one better. Montoya has great size in net, great composure, great technical skills, is a smart goalie who has a quick glove hand. He reminded me of a bit bigger Marty Turco although I didn't see Al handle the puck much. Really quick legs. I was really impressed by him (and by Hencik, or however you spell it) on Friday. Then again, he wasn't tested much. When he was he showed mad skills. Rangers have a legitimate top notch NHL goalie prospect on their hands, I really don't care what anyone else says. I hate Sather as a GM but boy he did well to grab this stud at number 5. Not a wasted pick in the least, IMO. He's NHL bound. Again, I cannot see how ANY goalie from last year's draft could have shown more. Montoya seems nearly NHL ready.
