For those of you who wouldn't take Glennie @ 26 are nuts


6'1 another RH C or RW with a deadly shot and a nose for the net. Not sold? Then look at his 26 G as a 16/17 yr old and already has 15 this year.

You may be right, but if I am nuts to not take him at 26, I am also nuts not to take him at 20.

He wont be there at 26, based on current performance.

My Top 5:

Landon Feraro
Jacob Josefson
Taylor Doherty
Tomas Vincour
Toni Rajala

[Shaun O Mac]

We need D. Drafting a solid Defenseman is vital in the upcoming draft.

Surprised Glennie isn't getting more votes.

You can certainly see the BC Boy/Vancouver Boy/WHLer/Bloodlines bias going on.....


Another guy worth mentioning, Tim Erixon, playing 24+ Minutes a game in the SEL as an 18 year old 91 Born, already has more points in his rookie season than Hedman did in his rookie season.

Gradin should convice Gillis.

I was looking for him, but he wasn't on your list

Didn't Hedman play in the SEL last year, tho? Like 1 year younger?

EDIT: Yes, he played 39 games in the 2007/2008 season. Plus Hedman has a MUCH better defensive game from what I have heard.

Since no one has voted for Erik Haula or Casey Czikas, I removed them and added Tim Erixon and Jimmy Bubinick since I completely forgot about these guys.

If you want to change your vote to either of the new players, let me know and I can move your vote from one of your 5 to one of the new players.

Its interesting that nobody chose Erik Haula, guess nobody is aware of who he is.

Pretty good hockey player according to the finn fans. Not surprised that Casey Cizikas wasn't too popular, his stats are not all too good. bubnick and erixon I think will likely be better prospects tho, good idea on the switch.

If Bubnick fell to 26th, that would be a steal. He's kind of like a Kesler but with more offensive touch.

That would be a solid pick, 6'2 RH Canadian Centre who can shoot.

Can anyone give any insight on Landon Feraro, I don't understand how he's gotten so many more votes than some of these guys other than a bias.

feraro is getting a lot of vote for a few reasons
1- he's a gritty canadian kid
2- son of an nhler so people know the name
3- he plays in the dub

as for info

he's a gritty kid with good character, has speed to burn, goes into the corners and is pretty good in there, his skill is good enough to be getting a point a game as a 17 year old on an avg team in the dub, doesn't mind hitting, he's a good safe pick that will play a long time. i'd compare him to kesler, chimera, or lambardi

budnick is nothing like kesler. kesler is a great skater, budnick is slow. budnick is more a mike knuble

I meant more like the Dwise, your right he isn't blazing but he isn't a sloth out there either. He has a good release and great shot and room to grow into his 6'2 frame

One other guy that has interested me is Landon Ferraro. He's a small and speedy guy with a nice right handed shot that we could use to our advantage. He's also been playing on a very good time in the Red Deer Rebels with a very good coaching system, a system Linden grew up in. Last year he also got 65 points (yeah, I said 65!) in 54 games which is very good for a little kid like him.

But of course he would be a little more of a project with his size but with us having Hodgson, we can give him as much time to adapt as he wants!

No he did not, he had 24 points in 54 games and was a -24.

http://whl.ca/en/sta...er.php?id=24826

He is a -10 so far this year. Now while his team sucks, I still think, from what I have seen/heard, he needs to work on his defensive game.

IMO He will be a second rounder. Maybe a late first rounder.

I'd have to agree that he is a 'tweener at this point.
