The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks for the compilation, Brian. Funny that opinions about his skating seem to be all over the place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks for the compilation, Brian. Funny that opinions about his skating seem to be all over the place! I liked that part, that's why I put some of the contradicting opinions in there. All in all, he's a solid pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those variations on a pretty fundamental question do make one wonder about the depth of the analysis contained in some of these reports. You know, they see one game and then write "he falls down a lot" because he blew a tire or something. Anyway, it certainly seems like a good choice. I'll admit, though, that apart from the Galchenyuk draft, I tend not to get too high or low about any given Habs pick. Leblanc seemed like a solid choice too, meanwhile Price was hugely controversial, etc.. We'll know more in three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Seems like a good pick at that position, has top-6 potential and some personality to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I like this kid. A good pick all around. But who knows at this stage of the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Price (no relation) Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks for the compilation, Brian. Funny that opinions about his skating seem to be all over the place! I noticed that, too, and did some research. The impression I get, is that he's very fast, and his puck-handling is such that it's very hard to get the puck away from him, but his lateral movement needs work, so he's not going to go dancing around defenders PK Subban style and untying their skate laces on the way by. He takes a more straightforward "Go to the net!" approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Agree, take it hard to the net seems to pay off for Gallagher and seems Pacioretty does much better as well when he goes hard to net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I've looked at the highlights video and read about Sherbak, and I have to say I really like this pick. Watching him play, reminded me of Galchenyuk alot. The kid seems to have great hands, can skate well, doesn't shy away from the rough stuff and seems to have alot of offensive upside. great pick by the Habs!
