Derp... Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 First thing I noticed is no Blake Spears who is on pace for 77 points in 60 games with the Soo. Seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Team Orr looks stacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Algur Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I like how Kyper is Don Cherry's assistant coach, they need mics on the bench for that reason alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Ya teams look heavily uneven in Orrs favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 I don't know how they choose the teams, but I can list 10 guys that could be first rounders on Team Orr and only about 6 on team Cherry. Mitchell Stephens Dennis Yan Graham Knott What's up with these guys being top prospects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I don't know how they choose the teams, but I can list 10 guys that could be first rounders on Team Orr and only about 6 on team Cherry. Mitchell Stephens Dennis Yan Graham Knott What's up with these guys being top prospects? Well it only includes CHL prospects, who would you replace with them? Speers is probably up there but otherwise I think it's pretty fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 That forward group for Team Orr, though... I don't know how they choose the teams, but I can list 10 guys that could be first rounders on Team Orr and only about 6 on team Cherry. Mitchell Stephens Dennis Yan Graham Knott What's up with these guys being top prospects? I like how they're all on Team Cherry, as well. Someone doesn't want Cherry to win. Also, how any of those guys are ahead of Blake Speers is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
