Hey PS. I should have said satellite radio. I was out at the lake and the weather was clearing up nicely, but way too much standing water to mow. So I decided to kick back on the deck and have a couple. Felt like some hockey talk and caught it on time. My biggest take away is how weak this draft is. All top prospects have some flaws in their game. Even Wright sounds like nothing more than a middle 6 2-way center at the NHL level. Certainly no one you trade PLD for. My biggest take away was Geekie who they had ranked at #23. Biggest knock was is inability to control the puck in tight to his body. They see this as a big knock against him being a point generator at the NHL level. To me he came off more of an Adam Lowry type, than a point getting #1 or 2 center. They didn't seem to really like any of the defenseman. In their eyes none will rise above a #2 or #3 in the NHL. Threw cold water on me entertaining any thoughts selling assets for picks in this draft.
Yea reading the reviews on some of the top guys in the Black Book and I am not coming away excited about any of them so its not an ugly year to be drafting #14.
