Prospect Info: Gianni Fairbrother a.k.a. Giovanni Fairbrudder

[Guns n Roses]

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.

The right side has Brook, Fleury and Juulsen, and we still have Weber and Petry for awhile. I like these 3 new Left defenseman, especially Struble, I think this kid will really impress.

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.

How is his shot? Slap shot from the point, wrist shot?

 

[Fazkovsky]

I woulda pick Legare and Leason with our two seconds to add goalscoring and size

very good.

 

[A55P2]

Looks like he has a hell of a shot!

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

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.

You're not new to this place,you should know this board is never overly positive about anything .

 

[BenchBrawl]

very good.

Good to see.I have a bias against offensive defensemen with no shot.

Except some posters that are not usually overly pessimistic are dumping on our picks.

I know nothing about the Swedish guy but Caufield and Fairbrother are incredibly sexy picks.

I have Romanov pick flashbacks all over. Our 3 LD picks are underscouted, just like Romanov and Harris were. These 2 looks like 2 good picks now, but the majority of the posters were upset at the picks, because they probably haven't seen or read anything on them. It doesn't mean they're not the right picks at their spots. I'd rather wait another year before being upset about a pick.

Very good slapper, but he's more of a playmaker.

Well Caufield is one prospect I've watched. I thought you meant Fairbrother, Struble, Borlinder.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Well Caufield is one prospect I've watched. I thought you meant Fairbrother, Struble, Borlinder.

My BCHL friends are pretty high on Struble (although there's talk of him skipping Victoria and going straight to NCAA?) but he's a definite boom for bust for me. I'm not for it or against it.

 

[covfefe]

Can’t explain how happy I am with this pick, one of my favourites in the draft. Such an underrated, well-rounded player.

Fairbrother wasn't really underscouted, other 2 were tho. Fairbrother is a high end (in juniors ofc) 2 way dman.

He's very likely to become another Fleury-esque steal.

 

[A55P2]

Anybody could compare him to the ones we let go of Tyszka and Walford? You think he's got more upside?

Yes, Tyszka and Walford were trash picks. Well to be fair Tyszka was an interesting gamble in the 5th but i wasn't a fan of him regardless, he had offensive upside tho.

Fairbrother is a Fleury quality prospect, you can tell he's a stud just by watching him play.

Not entirely true, remeber the 2012 draft??? LOL

Oh wow, that's great then! I'll trust you guys on this one. I'm one of those that's actually quite happy with the direction taken in the draft.

People who know anything about the draft are on the draft floor.
