I have a feeling Veulliuex is going to be a steal in the 2nd round. Shown way more offensive talent than Gillies and is huge. I'd be happy with him.

Oh easily.

Gilles has BARELY broken double digits in goals in the WHL and has character 3rd liner writen all over him.

[Toxic]

Im actually open to drafting gillies with our 1st or 2nd

The fact he's so big and strong, can be useful on a line with 2 scoring players, he can REALLY open up space, open up lanes, and clog the front of the net for snipers to pick a corner

Shirokov-Gillies-Grabner anyone???

If he can become a very good passer i think he can be a 1st or 2nd line center, not every center has to be either a top goal scorer, or have terrific offensive instincts

Played against Casey Pierro-Zabotel tonight in our Spring League here in Kamloops. He's a good sport in the fact that he is miles ahead of everyone(plays D) but wow can he pass. When he tried wow...it was fun to watch.

I think he's expected to go in the 3rd-5th round. He was the leading scorer in the BCHL on a crappy Merritt team and is going to Michigan State.

We did not sign him by June 1, so we have lost his rights. He's a FA.

He's ranked #20 in The Hockey News. I thought we might pick him in the first. However, I read he was scouted as a poor skater and decided that wouldn't be a good choice for us, considering Vancouver scouts have been advised to focus less on size and more on speed and skill.

[Lost Canuck]

Pierre-Zabotel intrigues me

[Tiburon]

Just wondering, what do you guys think of Patrick White?

Good first round pick?

If he's even available?

I know, I see him going in the early to late teens

[Dortmund]

Toronto has apparently interviewed Eller twice now and quite high on him. I don't see him falling past TO.

Does anyone know iff the 2009 draft is supposed to be a deep one? If you had to guess would you say that a third rounder in 09 will be worth more or less than say the 06 or 07 draft?

08 supposed to be deep, 09 supposed to be as deep.
