Psycing Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Not Bad. I wouldn't mind Colton Gillies and Alex Plante. Big guys they are. Also, both are from out West, Gainey/Timmins have a knack for those lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathieu30 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Where's Kevin Veilleux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlétique.Canadien Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Glad Esposito slipped to a rank where we may be able to get him. Not saying it's the best move but I'd rather that door remain semi-open for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Many inconsistencies between the ISS rankings and the NHL's CSB rankings. For example, the CSB rankings place Gillies 30th in terms of North American skaters while ISS puts him 14th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Gillies ahead of both Couture and Hammill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 petrecki would be a solid choice. for all those high risk, high reward lovers, I'd go for esposito. second shoice. sutter if available or bill sweat. I loved i'm at the wjc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_faerie87 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 If Cherepanov falls due to Russia not signing the transfer agreement, would you be willing to take a chance on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoZed Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I'd wait before making any type of comments. There's still a couple of big hockey left to be played. (U-18, Memorial Cup, etc) and lot can change in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lats dropped like a fly after the U-20... big ice, slow skates... you know the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Ryder Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Where's Kevin Veilleux? He had an injury that slowed him for the last part of the season. He is a sleeper there that we can grab in the secound round. I want no russian that is for sure. But if Backlund is still there when we draft i would go with him.

MAK Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 If Cherepanov falls due to Russia not signing the transfer agreement, would you be willing to take a chance on him? as been called off for being lazy, yet uninspired. besides, with all that happened with russians thi year, I'm sure we'll go north america. I'd love voracek but he wont be there come our turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 If we can trade picks and move up in the draft then I'd be happy with selecting Gagner, Kane or Voracek; if not Esposito, Backlund, Gillies; or lower in the order.. I'd love Sutter, O'Brien or Plante. I've focused on Center and forwards.. but I think that Trevor Timmins will look at picking of D=men at least two more... in this draft.

MAK Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 one thing that strikes me is how small players are in this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Ryder Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 one thing that strikes me is how small players are in this draft. Yes but look small players that are performing well in the NHL, they are all in the top 50 in points. Nobody in there is 6.0 feet and 200 pound. But they are all up in Gionta Gomez Brière Savard Cammalleri Datsyik Mcdonald Jason Blake Straka Kariya Koivu Whitney So small is not anymore such a big concern, they are looking for talent, what concern me is that the lack of outstanding talent. Players like Corey Locke would have been ranked top 30 this year. It's five years later and there is no Locke in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I wasn,t saying that small players cant do it and be succesful, I was just surprised by the amount of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 No Esposito for me. He looks like a bigger Ribeiro, inconstant. It seems like he needed Radu to produce as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 No Esposito for me. He looks like a bigger Ribeiro, inconstant. It seems like he needed Radu to produce as well. granted. but how good could he be with a latendresse ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 granted. but how good could he be with a latendresse ?? yeah, maybe... hit me back with that in 3 or 4 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
