It's not so much that they passed up Lemieux because I think they're pretty even. The thing that bothers me is that they need high-end offensive skill in the system and they pass on Barbashev. Should have been a no brainer. That's not to say that Quenneville is a good or bad pick (honestly don't know enough about him), but Barbashev fell right into their laps.
Barbashev had 68pts in 48G
Quenneville 58pts in 61G
the offensive upside doesnt appear too close atm. we'll see I guess
he won't have to delete it
a lot of our younger guys have twitters
Meh.
Q is 6'1 and 195 pounds at 18. Can play wing and center, good in all 3 zones.
I like the pick.
"He will definitely need to work on his foot speed"
I don't mind the pick but this team needs to do something to address the lack of speed at some point.
It was a safe pick but that doesnt make it bad. We might still grab at least Lemiuex at 41 which would be great.
If McKeown is still on the board at 41 the Devils should consider taking him or trading back, I don't see him going past Edmonton but its a great spot to be at.
To trade up to the 31st pick the Devils would have to trade 41 and like the 7th (if we had one).
If Lemieux is still there at 41, I would be SHOCKED, Period.
Nah a 7th doesn't make that happen.
