Surgery on want part of the body?

Upper body, there is no specific. The 4-6 weeks isn't that long for rehab, so probably not a big surgery either.

I like Tij too. Only sad thing is, because of his name people will expect a powerforward. That not really his game.

I've only been able to watch highlights of Lindstrom.

How does he compare to Dach in his draft year?

I think the best comparable for him is Mason McTavish. Habs will be very lucky if they are be able to draft him!

Dach controlled the play a lot more. They dont have the same IQ IMO. Dach wont shoot and Lindstrom has a pretty good shot and is willing to shoot though.

What do you think of Ryder Ritchie?

You know the tank doesnt go very well when Ryder Ritchie is brought to the discussion...

I would take him 8-10th ainec if Demidov, Catton, Eiserman and Lindstrom are not there anymore.

In my humble opinion, he is right up there after the 1st tier of forward.

Very different..

Dach had higher offensive tools, vision and IQ.. but he was still trying to get coordinated in his body.

Lindstrom is a lot more developed physically and can use his body in a more coordinated fashion, is a better shooter, but everything else is in Dach's favor, especially skating and IQ.

If these guys all go, it means one of Celebrini, Levshunov, Buium, Dickinson fell to us.

You don't draft Tij ahead of these guys, that would be insanely stupid.

 

[Rapala]

What's the story with Ethan Procyszyn and Anthony Romani.
Are these guys potential 2nd or 3rd round snags?

Well i do agree.

This will be interesting.

Should quell a lot of fear here.. we will be in range to grab an interesting forward prospect even if we aren't picking as high as some people would like.

I'm expecting quite a bit of movement from his pre-season list. Lots of risers and fallers since last september.

Yes, this will be the bigger movement grouping.. usually mid to year end doesn't have quite as much.

Winnipeg own our 2nd we have the Colorado second but Iginla is projected to be a late 1st/early 2nd doubt he falls to the Avs pick

Poster was referring to using our second first-round pick, which would potentially be acquired via trade (e.g. Monahan)

 

[TheBuriedHab]

I suspect Iginla to be closer to top 10, maybe even inside the top 10 by draft time.

no way inside the top 10 i dont even see top 15 but after that yes

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Why? He's on pace for 50 goals and 100 points while playing a complete 200 foot game that NHL scouts love.

i mean maybe a GM falls in love with the player being the son of a hockey legend will definitely help but inside the top 10 would surprise alot of people personally i see him outside the top 15 but will see

Theres no way Iginla goes late 1st/2nd.

Iginla wont be available past 15.

He might even be top 10.
