Jacques I wouldn't mind taking Phaneuf... and then trading for a second 1st rounder and grabbing Bernier. Also, Brown was ranked #2 behind Staal in the CSS N-A rankings... now he's 12th here, didn't think he'd go so low... hell he's within our grasp according to THN. Go figure.

TheAussiePosse Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Nilsson at 18th? Wow Wasn't he 8th overall once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markov79 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I dearly hope we won't take him before a better player just because he's from Quebec...God I'm sick of all that crap...We're doing it with the coaches let's not do it with the players. If there are two players available that are of equal skill, go with the French kid, but man I hope we don't get too tempted... :eyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs77 Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 First off I don't know what you're complaining about since AS's 1st rounders so far have been Komisarek, Perezhogin, Higgins. I don't see a kid from Quebec in that group... do you? Kids from the LHJMQ are actually penalysed because the league is widely disrespected... so a guy like Bernier might even be ranked lower than he derserves to be. If the Habs recognize that and feel he's the best available player despite what the official rankings... then so be it. My liking Bernier (well as much as you can like a guy you've never actually seen play) has nothing to do with where he's from... but more his size and reported grit, combined with skill of course. He just might be the power forward we could really use on this team.. but like I said I wouldn't waste a 10th pick on him if he isn't worth it. Like I said I favor aquiring another mid-1st round pick and take him later in the 1st round, if that is where he deserves to be picked. I simply favor aquiring a kid with a combination of size/grit/skill... whoever fits the bill I'll be happy with. But if the rumor is true and the Habs are focusing on the center position... well Bernier isn't a center so that'll be that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markov79 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 You didn't quite get my message, but that's ok... I didn't mean Savard has chosen Quebec players in the 1st round just because they were from Quebec: I mean I'm sick of people getting excited about players from the Q just because they are from the Q.

Well in terms of fans getting attached to local guys, I'd say that's normal... nothing wrong with that. Especially since most of us are saying who we should pick without ever having seen any of these kids play... it's not as if any of our opinions are really all that well thought out to begin with. And since all the main media always overly dump on the Quebec prospects... why not have some Habs fans show them some support. So I don't mind it, even if I understand where you're coming from.

TheAussiePosse Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Do you think Savard has any chance of getting another 1st rounder? I want to get Nilsson. He's dropped pretty far, but he'd be worth it. Only problem is, a Swede and Saku on the same team? Could it work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kas Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 I would love Parise at #10. He's the total package except for size. In what little I've seen of him, though, he is not afraid of rough play or the corners. He's responsible defensively (though not great) and has true superstar potential. I see him at worst as a quality second line player-at best he could be a Joe Sackic clone. Bernier would be a nice consolation prize but I think he lacks Parise's pure offensive talent and potential upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAussiePosse Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 HF says we need tougher forward prospects and better pure scorers. Who fits either mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
