DON Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Perhaps instead of sleeper, I should have called Galchenyuk the wild card of the draft, very talented, but the obvious problem of not being able to play all year. Apparently a lot of teams are very high on him, central scouting, not so much. I still say Grigorenko, a known commodity, already has played in Quebec, big body, talent, ready to step in next year, most likely. In 2 years or so, perhaps you guys can all say told you so, but I don't think so. Either way, however, we are going to have our most exciting forward prospect in years after this years draft. You are making a big assumption about pick being a forward (chances are you are correct but?), especially with many top ranked players being d-men. As Timmins says, he is looking for "Best Asset" at #3. Quote
DON Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 McGuire went insane at the 2005 Draft. He called the pick "straight off the reservation" which knowing Price's background is really an unfortunate description. ===================== Anyways today we profile Finnish Dman Ville Pokka http://lastwordonspo...43-ville-pokka/ Another good profile sir. Pokka seemed very mature and i initially thought he was older and already drafted when saw him play at world juniors, just so many solid looking d-men in draft. Quote
DON Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Daniil Zharkov of Belleville http://lastwordonspo...daniil-zharkov/ Havlat eh? His M O seems just to be too Russianish ? Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I really like the evaluation on Danill Zharkov. If he fell to 51st overall I'd be pushing for Timmins to go for it. Quote
DON Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Jarrod Maidens.... first round talent.... falling due to the "concussion conundrum". http://lastwordonspo...jarrod-maidens/ 45th eh, i wouldnt worry too much about concussion and with his drop, like u say could be a nice steal in 2nd round. Hopefully that interview quashed the BPA concept. "Best Asset to the Montreal Canadiens" Semantics is all it is. Quote
Commandant Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 I really like the evaluation on Danill Zharkov. If he fell to 51st overall I'd be pushing for Timmins to go for it. I should have compared him to Andrei Kostitsyn Quote

Commandant Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 Scott Kosmachuk http://lastwordonsports.com/2012/05/23/nhl-draft-prospect-profile-47-scott-kosmachuk/ Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Scott Kosmachuk http://lastwordonspo...cott-kosmachuk/ Perfect guy for the Leafs to draft and say, "SEE CHERRY SEE" Quote
DON Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Scott Kosmachuk http://lastwordonspo...cott-kosmachuk/ Good profile Why so low with this guy (and Sutter?), wouldnt he be a bit better choice than ones such as; Pearson, Zharkov, Nieves? Basically point/game, average size, your profile and physically active point to a good all-round player? Or are you thinking he is like Luke Sutter and has little offensive upside, even though both had 100+ PIMs and bout 30 goal seasons? You might compare them to Ryan White? Quote
Commandant Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 Not all stats are created equal. I see Kosmachuk as a 2nd/3rd line tweener going forward, and Sutter as more of a third liner at the next level. Where the others look more likely to be able to be legit top 6 forwards. Sutter is coming soon though. Again though, its splitting hairs once you get from about 25-50. There isn't a heck of a lot of difference here, and every scout is gonna have their own way of ranking it. The further you move down the list, the more room there is for someone to be drafted 10-15 spots above or below their rank. 1 Quote

Sure, i know splitting hairs a bit, but got to question list just to be a bit arguementative and it is super you guys are breaking down prospects, profiles are well done. Quote

DON Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 If say, take McKeen's latest list as gospel and draft goes exact as per, the Habs would have one sweet haul with Forberg at #3, Samuelsson at #32, Lukas Sutter at #50, Mike Winther at #63 and Tomas Hyka at #93. 3 centres and 2 wingers would certainly help stock the farm some.

Seb Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 http://rotoworld.com/articles/nhl/40573/218/nhl-mock-draft-102 Check it: This guy's got EDM taking Murray first and Forsberg going to CBS. That leaves Montreal with Yakupov. It's awesome that it's actually plausible that the Habs get Yakupov. I'd be pumped. Gotta think it's 1. Yakupov 2. Galchenyuk 3. Grigorenko/Forsberg? Quote
Commandant Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 That mock draft has the draft order wrong.... The Canucks pick 26th... The Coyotes 27th The Kings 29th or 30th.... The Rangers and Devils 28, 29 or 30 Quote

DON Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Another One? What the hell is going on at that Alberta Farm/Hockey Factory? http://lastwordonspo...9-lukas-sutter/ A player like this is missing in the farm system, another Ryan White type, who may, but unlikely, have a bit more offense than White, worth a 49th pick for sure.
