The Canadian Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I was wondering why Adam Brooks is going so low in the draft? Most mock drafts project him to go in the 5th or 6th round. I don't know why because his stats are pretty good. In 72 games he got 38 goals and 82 assists for 120 points. He plays for the Regina Pats in the WHL. His height is 5'10, but smaller the player the faster they are. One reason he might be going so low in because of his weight. He is only 169lbs. He is 20 years old, so he was not picked in the past 2 or 3 drafts. I would love it if Benning could draft him because he can be a number 1 centre. Can someone please tell me why this kid is not going in the 2nd round. It would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first bolded part answers the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's expected to go in the 5th round. He is sorta like Tryamkin. Tryamkin was 20 when he was drafted, and he was drafted in the 4th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would definitely not mind him in the system. But I'd rather sign him and use the pick on someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Canucks can somehow manage another 2nd round pick, I think Ty Ronning would be a good guy to go after. I like Lucas Johanssen at 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive stat line for Brooks but he is a 20 years old playing in juniors. 2nd round pick would be Boston drafting crazy as you could get him easily in the 5th. Tryamkin was drafted at 19 years old and he was playing in the KHL against men and looking good. Brooks is playing against kids and looking good.

smithers joe Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 we will probably be picking d-men in the 2nd and 3rd rounds...i don't think we'll get the blue jacket's 2nd round pick this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 If he's been passed over a few times and is now pegged as a 4-5th rounder there must be some glaring deficiencies in his game, given his point totals, my guess is he's way too soft. I don't see why JB trades Vey (who he coughed up a 2nd for) for a 4th round project that isn't physically intimidating. Just my take though, never seen him play.

Lots of players excel in there 19 year old season because they are playing against 17 year old players who are not as developed yet. Trevor Cox is a good example of this.
