Too bad the Panthers couldn't get Latendresse, I was hoping hard for him.
I was thinking today of Jack Skille as my selection with what kind of game he brings and some of the hype he got, but I read that not a lot of posters were sold on him, so I'll take a player I've seen, an offensive dynamo with great size who is the best player of his country, he may lacks defense but he is a gem IMO !!!
ANZE KOPITAR, C, 6'2 202 lbs
I'm amazed to get to get that kid in the draft for the Panthers ! He is THE offensive force, we could use since the departure of Pavel Bure... Kind of a raw prospect like Kostitsyn was in his draft-year... He is a rare diamond that need some time and work, but he'll be a very very good player !

I'm in love with the kid, I know some people won't like him, but I'll stick to my guns and I'll accept yours... It was a hard-pick to make with upcoming fan-favourite Alex Bourret, who must be a Keenan-kid and I won't be mad with that... And there are other great players, but I've seen and heard about Kopitar... This kid is for real ! IMO
Have a nice draft, see you later !
P.S.2: (Not making a pub for Sony !) I want to part with some of my picks, and maybe players like Huselius, Hagman and all those bubble players to get a stud defenseman of the game in his prime, and some character players in their primes... Waiting !
