It's amazing that we still have players like Peca, Blujus, Gusev and Paquette on the board. Kinda wish we could fast forward a few years til we will be elite.

 

[Necropolis]

Now it gets really tight. Voted Blujus, could be very good offensive defender; he's defense is a question mark for me though. Positioning is pretty bad and isn't very physical.

 

[BoltSTH]

I went with Gusev. He is definitely Boom or Bust and potentially the steal of that draft, or a waste of a 7th round pick.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Peca

 

[Steve Yzerman]

Paquette. Love how he's a gritty pest with offense, reminds me of Downie.

Cant believe Gudlevskis has fallen this far...must be the factor of the unknown cause kid is going to be a solid tendy!

That's part of it. The other is how hard goaltenders are to rate. The other is Tampa is really super deep.
