How is he still around....

 

[pedis]

beauty pick in the 7th

 

[7even]

Why did he fall so hard? Not very reassuring.

 

[Guy Boucher]

Excellent pick! He has a terrific wrist shot. NHL quality. Good size too.

He needs to commit more to defense, but I think (hope) it can be coached into him.

 

[Cor]

****ing Steal!

 

[Leaf Lander]

He was injured this season

Hell of a pick Shanny / Dubas / Hunter. Let's go!

 

[dubey]

Was there a single scouting service that had him later than the 2nd round?

 

[cookie]

wtf he was still available??

 

[catgoldfish]

How is he still around....

Guy was supposed to be picked in the second round. Wow!

 

[Screwball]

Hockey News had him #46, ISS #60.

At this point definitely worth it.

 

[Daisy Jane]

i wonder why he dropped so far? is it Russian factor?

 

[WhatASaveDave]

My buddy captained him when he played for the Junior Canadiens. Im so fricken happy. Apparently he had a higher PPG in contrast to Pavel Zacha

Unreal, steals in the 5th and 7th.

 

[Brewsky]

Who is that one guy on our boards who wanted him soooooooo bad, kept asking if he's around.

THERE YOU GO BUDDY WOOOOO

 

[mikebel111*]

getting him in the 7th is an absolute beauty

ranked in the 2nd round

 

[Cotton]

Whaa? How did he fall this far, holy steal!

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Why did he fall so hard? Not very reassuring.

Pilon falls 5 rounds = steal.

Korostelev falls 5 rounds = KHL bound/ not reassuring.

... picked 185th. Can't complain getting him there.

Love the pick.

 

[Cor]

This is a STEAL.

 

[Khabby]

Stoked with this pick aswell. Cant believe he was still available. Who did he threaten in his interviews to drop to us!

 

[ChrisCall]

I know nothing about the player, but if he only dropped because of the KHL threat, then who cares? It's the 7th round.
