That is simply not true (the bolded part and the rest of it)

 

The facts are Bo played on the 2nd PP for most of the year and he scored more even strength goals than PP goals...the facts are Leon got the benefit of playing on the top line since he broke into the league....the facts are Bo keeps getting better...Leon had a worse season than his previous one...

 

One day you will agree with Bo being a better player.....more valuable....is what a better player is by the way...!   semantic monger...!

Just watch....!

I know for a fact he was with the Sedins last season. He was the net front presence, similarly to how Kesler played there too. I can vividly remember him scoring on the PP with the Sedins. LOL.

 

You can be more valuable and not be the better player. Durant is better than Curry, but Curry is more valuable to the team. There is a distinct difference.

He was on the 2nd PP for most of the season ...only at the end was he on with the Sedins which is what made them better...if Bo had a full year with Brock he would have had as many points as Leon while playing better D. and killing penalties....I can't change your mind....

 

But Bo will ...in due time....

Dobber Prospects

 

Boqvist vs Hughes

 

Take your pick here. Do you want the ultra-speedy left shot guy who can blaze around the ice with aplomb and is likely a tad closer to being NHL-ready or do you prefer the historically more sought-after right-shot player with the big shot and near-equal skating ability?

 

This exercise has done nothing to wipe away the indecision from my mind between these two players. I feel that Hughes is the more advanced prospect as of today, but he should be, he’s 10 months older.

 

Meanwhile, Boqvist demonstrates such great potential and offers a more complete offensive game with his shot.

 

There will be struggles for each early on due to their size, and for Boqvist, the transition to the smaller North American ice and physical game will definitely test his mettle, but each has the skills to one day be impactful producers for both fantasy and real-world scenarios. The type of ability that changes the face of a top power play unit.

 

Final Report Card

Skating: Hughes

Passing: Draw

Vision: Draw

Stickhandling: Boqvist

Shot: Boqvist

Defense: Hughes

NHL Readiness: Hughes

I still wake up with cold sweats and nightmares of the rat marchand working over our super star and the constant abuse the Sedins took. I don't want a small player...hence why I want either Dobson or Wahlstrom at our pick.

 

I will probably never get over it :angry:

Same as basically everyone on here; I'm happy with any of these boys:

 

Tkachuk

Wahlstrom / Dobson

Kotkaniemi

 

Personally I still like size to go along with speed and skill. I like Dobson, Wahlstrom, and Tkachuks character. Just seem like good hardworkers.

Might be a little random, but does anyone know what happened with David Levin? He was supposed to be a big story in this years draft being that he was originally born in Isreal and was drafted 1st overall in the OHL. I saw that his numbers this past year were pretty garbage but does anyone follow this guy any closer?

He's been getting worse and worse. Had 29 points in 46GP this last season. Couple that with that fact that he's likely going to need to serve in the Isreali army and he'll probably go undrafted.

 

He was just a really bad #1 overall pick but, if I recall correctly, he was only picked there because guys like Vilardi and Tippett refused to report to Sudbury.

Looks like they weren't showing results.  Anyone seen them posted yet?

The broadcast ended before the physical testing. It may have only concluded recently.

 

I'm hoping we'll get some results this afternoon.
