juolevi looked awesome in the world junior tourney. i thought he would be a good nhl'er. jake was local and had all the tools. the knock on jake was his hockey sense. it was a gamble that didn't work. hindsight is always perfect. i've made some rotten picks on players too.

 

Not always. There are a bunch of yahoos that still want Tryampkin :sick: on the team. :frantic:

Just watching the game now aside from having a doozie of a game offensively Pellikka looks really good in his own end. 

 

Cristall looks sloooooooooow. 

Yeah being a small guy and having skating deficiencies is a bit of a red flag for me. We dont need another powerplay specialist.

I'm liking Leonard, Yager, Reinbacher, Danielson, Moore, Barlow, and ASP. Happy with anyone of these guys really.

I wouldn't be surprised if we picked someone not on that list. Great picks but most of those could be gone before we get to pick.

If you excluded Cristall (which I would) you can argue this draft has a top-15 of:

 

Bedard

Fantilli

Carlsson

Michkov

Smith

Benson

Moore

Reinbacher

Leonard

Dvorsky

Sandin-Pelikka

Sale

Barlow

Yager 

Danielson

 

Absolutely loaded...

Well, based on what I've seen so far, just my opinion:

 

1. Bedard (C)

2. Fantilli (C)

3. Carlsson (C/LW)

4. Leonard (RW)

5. Sandin Pellikka (RD)

6. Smith (C)

7. Benson (LW)

8. Dvorsky (C)

9. Moore (C)

10. Reinbacher (RD)

11. Strbak (RD)

 

Assuming the Canucks stay at #11, I would be very happy if they got any one of these players.

Just as I expected, ASP's stock is gonna rise after this tourney.

Yeah he is finding another gear - I could actually see him going ahead of Reinbacher at this rate. I also think that if they are both available at 11 that Alvin picks ASP. Firstly coz he is Swedish and 2ft tall 17lbs for pure staypuff which seems to be the archtype for a Vancouver draft pick...:) But seriously he has a higher ceiling and fits the bill of how they say they wanna play better. Alvin is also quoted on saying he doesn't wanna draft 'vanilla' ( I forget the exact word but hopefully ya'll remember) prospect with high first rounds but elite talent.  He is also a bit bigger than he looks at 5'11 - 181.

ASP is an elite offensive D who has been compared to Dhallin / Karlson etc - where as I'm not seeing a higher ceiling that second pair for Reinbacher, I'm sure some on here will contend that but the 'experts' tend to support that if you read all the reports on him and watch the tape.
