Back-to-back Jacks for Ottawa 67's in draft; Chiodo continues torrid pace against Wolves

Why do we avoid each and every year the most skilled and goal producing players.In the top 2 rounds we gamble on players who more than likely would have been available in rounds 4 and 5.There are high end players like Rolofs,Michaud,Del Monte,Arcuri,Srizzotti,Christopoulos that will come back to haunt us.I can understand picking Stillman but why not these other players.

Siedel is a cling on
Did nothing but chase Stillmans around like a lost dog and still couldnt get his pick correct
Didn't see where he had McCue ranked anywhere near 2nd round but London thought enough of him. McCue was clearly the smartest player on the MMAAAA team Stillman included

Supposedly just started skating again.
Thin D now, and young. Good experience though for the two young studs we got back there.

Damn. I thought it was an ACL when it happened so thats actually good-ish news in an odd way. ACL would've meant most of next year too.
Hope he can make a full speedy recovery. Wishing him the best

Well I sure hope Stillman plays here, he said he isn’t ruling out the NCAA.

I don’t know much about minor midget hockey so I won’t pretend to know who the top players are but I do like what we have drafted the last two seasons. I’ve decided to trust what Paps is trying to build. I would have liked a local kid picked in the middle rounds though. Savignac or Kavanagh would have been nice. Let’s see what these kids look like at rookie camp before we say that passing on the more difficult reports will haunt us.

I have no doubt 99 percent of the responces from camp will be positive.
If anyone was able to have read the S.S. article, which the H.S. speaks on what this team need to improve and he made reference to the 1st game in Ottawa where upgrading skill level and fast pace essential. From all indication, looks like they are on the right track
Be careful about drinking the Koolaid.This Wolves draft could set back any hopes of having a consistent quality run for years .The players we missed out on are going to be foundation players for their respective teams.Why draft a player at 15 that is ranked 75 by Prospects pipeline when he probably would have been there with our pick at that time.You have to hit with your first 2 round picks, so go with the concensus higher rated players.The OHL is about speed,skill and excellent goaltending.Ottawa is giving us fits with their array of talent.Although our team is better skating this year it does not rival the elite teams.
That is much less of a problem now then it was in the past. The only reason I can see now that some forwards wouldn’t come to Sudbury is due to a coaches kid being in front of them in the pecking order. Otherwise, there is a better ownership group, better team, coach with NHL connections, chance to play with Byfield, players treated well and they like the city....the Wolves made every change the agents wanted.
Curious to know hockieguy who do you know that didn’t want to report?

I believe the focus was speed, skill, and compete level. I haven't seen these kids that we drafted, but can't go by some of these scouting lists that are out there. London went off the board many times, they took Max McCue in the second round projected to go mid rounds.
I think we got 3 solid picks by the sounds of it with McCallam, Stillman and Larmand, they all can skate, skills, and grit. Also, they can score and playmake. We took Owen Lalande second overall few years back, and according to all the scouts he was determined worthy of that pick, so far he is an average OHL Defenceman. I have faith in Papineau, I think these picks will work out.
Really have to question this. I would trade our trade for North Bay, the Sault's, London's, among others in a heartbeat.
Don’t kid yourself, the wolves are among at least half of the league’s teams that have serious recruiting issues.
Why? That guy rates the wolves draft as better those you mention.
Or, are you saying you prefer those teams draft over the wolves?
I rate NB as better than the wolves. 8 picks in 5 rounds (especially first 3 from Don Mills) and Savignac in round 9 does it for me.

I think our 4th to 7th picks very strong, with Anania, Robinson, Savage, Gillespie. We pick up 2 D from strong programs, and I think Gillespie that late is kind of a steal. Savage is risky pick, not sure if he will ever report.
