I changed my mind. I'm weakly noncommittal on it.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

I'm mildly turned on, but only mildly. Like when you're lying in bed, the thought of making a move comes to you, but you're too tired and lazy to go through with it because of all the work that's involved so you just go to sleep.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Fantastic pick. Late first, early second talent in the third round.

Absolutely pumped with this pick. Kid is sick.

 

[wej20]

Seems good value based on where he was ranked (not that that really means anything).

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

That last quote/sentence says it best.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Very very very impressed by Allvin so far... obv we can’t truly judge the picks- but I’ve liked every pick he’s made on paper in his tenure to this point

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

45-goal men don't grow on trees? Damn it! Now what the hell am I supposed to do with all of these seeds I bought from a guy at the gas station?

 

[wej20]

Looking at Baie-Comeau on elite prospects, they're losing 7 of their top 10 scorers. Any QMJHL followers know if they have young guys ready to step up or will they be rebuilding next year?

Told you shouldn't have traded the donkey for 'em.

My life is just one bad decision after another. And no, I'm not JR.

They are in for a down year. Good chance Legare gets dealt sometime during the year I suspect.

Poulin's Sherbrooke team should be one of the strongest however, but are still a step or two behind the early favorite to be the league elites (specifically Moncton).

So potentially Legare could end up with Poulin, neat.

I don't like it.

You don't like anything that doesn't involve cheap booze and scantily clad arthouse actresses though.

Grind the seeds up, smoke them, report back to us what happens.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Is he small? Skates like Maatta? His scouting report sounds like he should have gone a lot sooner.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Really like our first two picks. At first, I was confused when we moved up and traded late picks that we kinda need but quantity trumps quality every time.

I also love the fact we went for two QMJHL wingers.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Watched him some with D'Orio getting dealt there and liked him quite a bit.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

I hope he’s better than a Pat Maroon type

 

[Peat]

Skating is the issue, yeah.

But... he had one point less than Sprong at the same age, 6 more goals. No matter the problems, and knowing how treacherous numbers are at that level, impossible not to love that in a 3rd rounder.

 

[Riptide]

That's a really good pick at #73, but I'm iffy on trading 3 picks for 1 at this point in the draft. I think Legare could have been a mid-2nd rounder and no one would have batted an eye, getting him in the mid-3rd is really good.

Honestly I would have done that every day of the week. I'd much rather have a mid 3rd vs a 4th, 6th and 7th (or whatever those picks were). And the more I read and watch of this kid, I think this was a great pickup.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

They asked the kid what he know's or likes about the city of Pittsburgh and he said Baseball. Nexttttttttttt

 

[Riptide]

Great pick. Dude is one of the best scorers in this draft.

And he goes to the net. Not sure he'll have Kunitz's physicality, but he reminds me a lot of Kunitz or Hornqvist in how he's always right around the crease. The more I read and watch of this kid, the more excited I am. Of course his odds of making it are only like 15%, but I'm still pumped.

 

[The Old Master]

Watched him some with D'Orio getting dealt there and liked him quite a bit.

it's a much safer pick than doro….but I think I would of picked doro anyway much higher up side but a bigger risk of getting there.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Wait did we have a good draft? Is this one of those times people applaud the scouts and not JR and only blame JR when they fail? I can't keep track.

Love this pick. He really impressed me at the U18s. Really skilled and chippy, always getting into scrums after the whistles.

So does this mean we'll never see him accomplish anything now?
