LaLaLaprise said:All three are steals.
Briere is a Q forward, so is Pominville...Dumont as well....do they suck? nope
Schutz = AMAZING...hidden gem...wait till u see him in camp...he has 1st rd talent.
Breault in rd 7 is a disgrace...hes better than his team mates Bouchard who was picked 35th overall.
And the 3rd "Q forward" isnt a Q forward. Alex Biega, a dman from Quebec who is playing prep. Great puck mover, one of the best skaters in the draft.
Marcel the great! said:who are you talking about exactly?
wow your higher then most people on our prospects although your right about Perezhogin, Kovy and Markov, i don't quite consider Grabovsky and Emelin blue-chip prospects like you do, who do you compare these 2 in the NHL and how many points a year projected do you think they'l have, since you have obviously seen them more then i haveVladNYC said:Grabovsky and Emelin. Plus you drafted Valentenko who is a great pick with some work.
I am looking forward to seeing a 5 man russian line in Montreal. You guys are gonna be ripping faces next year.
Grabovsky Kovalev Perezhogin
Emelin Markov
is a sick sick line up. If given the chance they can do alot for you guys.
VladNYC said:Grabovsky is fast, smart and very skilled. He is small but he is perfect for the new NHL. He played with Hanlon as a coach on team belarus and they did very well thanks to him and his amazing idividual effort and skill. That said he is a good team player. He is like Semin with out the temper.
Emelin is hands down a world class player. At 17 he was smashing faces in the RSL. He's a hard hitting defensemen with a crazy temper. Smart, fast and not afraid of any one. Him and Markov as a pair is a really good idea.
I will be watching as many montreal games as i can this year. If you guys take the right chances you will have a very exciting team this year.

eddy said:Some steals that stood out for me: Shirokov, Kulemin, JAN-MIKAEL JUUTILAINEN, Williams, Jonnesu (sp).
Homer pick steals: Ben Maxwell(49) and Ryan White(66). (both put in top 30 of many mock drafts)
VladNYC said:There are plenty of NHL ready RSLers, the scouts are just lazy and lack knowledge of the RSL players on certain NHL teams.. Look at all these russian super stars who in the past have been drafted in the late rounds. Datsyuk in round 6. Fedorov in round 4. Markov in the 6th round. Mogilny in the 5th round. And on and on.
Chainshot said:Actually, I think he was refering to Bouchard, Lacroix, and Perrauelt for the Caps. As a Sabres fan, I'm pleased as punch to have Schutz, Breault, and Montreal native Biega.
justdanickoftime said:oskar osala in the fourth round for the caps and max lacroix in the fifth round, big steals, and i think the caps had the best draft so far.

It has been said he's a cross between Viktor Kozlov, Eric Staal, and Aki Berg. What isn't to like?
Bobby Hughes has a lot of offensive potential and he slipped a bit. I would love to see him work out for Carolina.

-Saw the kid play. He's amazing.
