I bloody well hope not. If the best player this year is a left defense, that's who I want them to pick. Pick the best player. Without exception. If they're equal or close to it, And you aren't being internally biased by skewing the numbers towards position, that's the only time you should draft for position. As I said before, I wonder what caliber RD Mitchkov could land tge team in a trade. Quote

Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Really nice goal by Demidov early in the first period. Demidov is going to tear it up next season in Montreal Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Scores again a few minutes later. Demidov is playing first line today and he is crushing it. Quote

Martin Lapointe threw a wrench into the kids' career ... when the habs drafted him Martin stated that the goalie would play for the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada this season, but during the CHL international draft the Acadie-Bathurst Titan drafted him ... Mikus decided to join the Brooks Bandits of the BCHL instead, but was relegated to being their backup (their veteran starter is off to a .943/1.37 start0 ... this game was his inauspicious debut with the Titan after reaching agreement to play with them for the rest of the season ... although they have a veteran starter off to a good start (2.41 / 17-8-2 / 0.927) 1 Quote

DON Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Is Harris bound for Laval this spring, or likely putting in another year at Denver? Quote
Commandant Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 I would think he would do a third year. He's doing well but not so dominant that he has nothing more to learn at the level. 1 Quote
dlbalr Posted January 6 Posted January 6 It wouldn't shock me if Harris plays two more college years. He's on a cold streak so there's still work to do with his consistency. Quote

Missing Buium lately and lost a few games, but Harris did score their only goal in the last game. Quote
