HOOOOLY SHIT

Another strong skating D-Man...I think I'm seeing a pattern here.

We're nailing this draft so far.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Positive holy shit, or Connor Crisp type? Ah well if you like this draft, that leaves me a bit more optimistic.

HOOOOLY ****

Very positive holy shit

How can we pass on Dorofeyef for a third left def ?!?

 

[Just Linda]

I like Fairbrother a lot, definitely has upside. Sensing a mobile LD trend though.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Cool name, no idea who he is.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Like I posted in the other thread, he seems like a late bloomer. He's a late birthday and this was his first full WHL season. Don't know much about him beside that. Is Everett still being coached by Constantine?

 

[JuJu Mobb]

We have a fair brother on the team.

 

[Adam Michaels]

@Stive Morgan is our resident WHL scout. I take his word if this guy is a good pick.

 

[Guns n Roses]

Three Left Defenseman in a row. Good to see that they want to solve that position moving forward. We’re building threw the Draft.

The place went nuts for the North Van product too. Was fun to hear.

No, they are now coached by Dennis Williams who utilizes a more offensive style than Constantine.

Fairbrother's a strong skating 2-way Dman who doesn't make many mistakes.

Glad to hear, Constantine seemed to be a pretty mediocre coach. Dinosaur like. What's his main weakness? Upside?

Constantine's the kind of coach who will win you games but doesn't do much for player development or for the fans hoping for an entertaining game. Good coach on paper but eh...

Gianni's main weakness is he has to get more physical, especially along the boards. His strength is rushing the puck up ice and passing, he's not bad on the PP either.

True, thanks for the info as always!

don't know the guy but seems to have a hell of a slapper and wrister!

Nice! As the pick was announced, I remember someone on this board being really high on him all year long. I got to the prospect board to notice it was you, our WHL expert. Kinda pumped to follow him.

Man can I hate their f***ing "vision" sometimes...

We wont solve that position with later round picks. By the time they are ready to solve anything we will have a problem on the right side.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

If @Stive Morgan vouches for him then I'm cool with that pick.

 

[Habs Icing]

Are you being facetious? Honest question. I really know nothing about prospects. Reading the other posts I'm getting a sense that we're not nailing.
