is Anthony Romani finding himself in a Logan Morrison situation or why has he not been drafted despite the impressive totals?

Because NHL GMs have a hard on for terrible >6'3 players and think undersized guys can't play defense.

 

[Treb]

Poirier, Romani or Zetterberg here please.

 

[newdimension]

Love the Thorpe pick at this point. He was passed over last year, but his offense came around this year. He went down with injuries and the Giants's offense kind of went with him. Definitely the type of swings we should be making.

 

[le_sean]

At least follow it with Poirier

 

[_vivelequebec_]

Poirier at 134 please

 

[Cenzo_]

Time for Poirier

 

[GrandmaCookie]

Tyler Thorpe, RW 6.4

NHL.com has him at 6'5 now: Tyler Thorpe Stats and News | NHL.com

 

[MarkJ]

a goalie lol

 

[Whitesnake]

Yes...so they can bash the Florian Xhejak pick because they looked at his stats.

Not many in here have followed the players going in these rounds closely. The regional scouts have watched them in person several games and talked to everyone who ever coached them as well as several teammates.

Yet, they miss more than they score. Not sure why we sould talk as if they hit 100%.

By the way, Xhekaj isn't arrived just yet....

 

[Seb]

And they picked a goalie!

 

[Treb]

Thorpe is an overager. Very low ceiling.

We said that of another player last year.

 

[David Suzuki]

Reminds me of a young Arturs Irbe!

 

[Habs13]

Ohhh a big fella!

 

[Cenzo_]

I guess you need to draft at least 1 goalie

 

[le_sean]

A goalie over Poirier? Just f***ing weird. What a weird draft day

 

[ryan callahan]

Embarassing scouting team.

 

[MadMslm]

I was expecting Poirier here, surprised they went for a goalie

 

[Whitesnake]

I do not remember 1 draft including the Timmins eras that has so many WTF picks....lollllll That's funny.

Mikus Vecvanags

 

[sansabri]

lol called it

 

[Schooner Guy]

Yet, they miss more than they score. Not sure why we sould talk as if they hit 100%.

By the way, Xhekaj isn't arrived just yet....

He just had a huge CHL season and is now in the AHL which you certainly didn't see coming. Doing ok for a mid-round pick who you didn't want.

 

[Natey]

That doesn't make the kid garbage though

He's also fantastic at moving the puck up the ice.

 

[Xss]

Ah yes Vecvanags

 

[Deam78]

What's going on

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Always fun getting 180 players down on a watch list only for them to go off the board 4 straight picks lol

 

[Habs 4 Life]

OLF already preparing a letter to send to Molson!!
