luongo or dipietro

[CREW99AW]

Luongo. By a mile. Milbury never saw DiPietro play, but liked his stickwork enough to make the most embarrassing draft selection made since 1966, when Boston picked Barry Gibbs ahead of Brad Park or Washington taking Greg Joly ahead of Clark Gillies and Wilf Paiement in 1974.



Yashin and Peca will be mid thirties when Rick is developed, and for a goalie drafted solely because he can shoot the puck like a defenseman, waiting to see if his actual puck stopping skills (i.e.: why one drafts a goalie) are anything more than a no-frills Hasek wannabe.


No, but Milbury not only wagered, he bet the house and made him back up Garth Snow. (read: gave him the starting job by proxy)

.

1.This wouldn't be the first or last time that Milbury's made a move based on the say so of his scouts.He's shown a lot of faith in them.
He traded for Hunter,despite never seeing him play because the scouts were pushing for it.

2.Please find a quote from MM or any isles scout saying DiPietro was drafted SOLELY because he can shoot the puck like a defenseman.His puckhandling's a big part of his game,but he's also got quick reflexes.


3.a yr after Osgood fell into the isles laps,they offered Ozzie an extension,then
entered into trade talks that would have sent DiPietro to the Bruins.They also reportedly talked to the Thrashers about DiPietro.
It was only after Osgood rejected the Isles multi-yr extension that the Isles backed off trading DiPietro.

Osgood's greed on a budget tight team is the reason DiPietro's still an isle and Osgood went elsewhere.$3m for Ozzie or $1.1m for DiPietro.

And Chara. They could also still have Bertuzzi, Redden, McCabe...plenty others. This topic has been beaten like the skinny kid at fat camp.

Or like a fat kid at a "beat up fat kids" camp.
