How has Montgomery looked, feels like he's a bit buried on a deep London team. but I really liked him at dev camp.Ellinas had a good playoff. He is probably one of our better prospects at this point and if he makes it he probably projects to a 4C NHL role at this point.
Tall lanky winger good speed gets involved not that physical . He has decent puck skills, average shot, but most impressive to me is his length and his speed . Be interesting what he does or where he goes next year.How has Montgomery looked, feels like he's a bit buried on a deep London team. but I really liked him at dev camp.
He's been "ok", caught up in a numbers game so hasn't been getting much of a prominent role the playoffs.How has Montgomery looked, feels like he's a bit buried on a deep London team. but I really liked him at dev camp.
I’ve seen progression from him. I’d expect that he really takes a step next year. He really Ellison wouldn’t have been available with our next pick.
I’m good with the pick. If he pans out I see Erik Cernak type of player.Perfect! Then don’t select him
Keep in mind he's still 18, hell, he will still be 18 at dev camp this summer with the new batch of 18 yr old draft picks.I’m good with the pick. If he pans out I see Erik Cernak type of player.
There is going to be so much eating crow on Dickinson, just like when the Sens Hfboards chose Dobson over Bouchard, he is going to be so mid as as pro.London have yet to lose a game in the OHL playoffs. About to finish off their 3rd consecutive sweep.
Bud you probably didn't even like Tkachuk. The most marketable and popular player in hockey. Own it and say you were a fool.Kindel has been struggling away from Yakemchuk at the U18. He looks so pedestrian, getting outplayed by guts who produced way less,

That’s not too weird a post, at the bare minimum I understand what is trying to be displayed there, agree with it or not is another thing. You were wrong before you will be wrong again, I get that.Dobson isn't mid and there's probably not much of a difference between him and Bouchard as a player, if at all.
If Dickinson ends up a Dobson level player, the Sharks should be pretty damn happy. I'd be thrilled with that outcome for Yakemchuk too.
Weird post.
Dobson was one of the league's best D-men last season, he was disappointing this year because the Isles as a whole sucked.Dobson isn't mid and there's probably not much of a difference between him and Bouchard as a player, if at all.

No question he was disappointing but yeah when the top scoring forward on your team has 57 points it's tough to put up elite numbers.
I don't think there's a more stark contrast in terms of offensive surrounding cast than Bouchard vs. Dobson.
You swap the two and have Dobson on the PP with McDavid and Draisaitl and there numbers would look drastically different.
Dobson was seen as the more NHL ready Dman, and Bouchard was seen as having more potential.I am not sure where all this chest pounding is coming from on Dobson vs Bouchard. Lots of people liked Bouchard.
There is no question Dobson had a down year after coming off a 70 pt season the year before and Bouchard plays on a better team. Oilers were a +23 team and the isles were a -36 team. The Oilers were a 23.72% power play good for 12th best .. The Isles were 12.56 31st . A good PP makes a huge difference to point production Bouchard had 26 PP points compared to Dobson's 12. The year before it was 35 to 24. I think most people would have always put Bouchard ahead offensively anyway. The knock if any has been on his defense and earlier on his skating despite the impressive point production.
The 2018 draft which I think the comments originate from Dobson was highly ranked and his DY (6th by Bob) Four of 10 scouts surveyed by TSN have Dobson in their top five. Bouchard was 7th.. pretty much even.
Dobson's DY was outstanding culminating with a Memorial cup win where he was an absolute stud so there is no wonder he had people liking him at draft time
Still not sure what the point is here... Is it if you liked Dobson over Bouchard you were wrong because? proving what exactly? People are not always right about draft piks. Pretty petty. Wow . Does this somehow relate to Yakemchuk? Are there lines to draw? You were wrong about Dobson so you are probably wrong about Yakemchuk is that it?
For their NHL careers so far
