[Kid Dynomite]

2nd Round, 56th overall - Habs selected D Josh Brook

Defenseman out of Moose Jaw

 

[habergeon]

Offensive defenseman, Team Canada U-18 guys, nice pickup.

 

[le_sean]

Great asset!

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I like it, sounds like a Juulsen type of pick which is always a quality asset if you ask me.

 

[Mathletic]

Good pick. Complete player with good offensive upside.

 

[Nedved]

Offensive defenseman, Team Canada U-18 guys, nice pickup.

I think he could be a solid guy for us, I like this pick. I'm glad they're not reaching for freaks of nature and going with the more well rounded player.

Hopefully he continues to develop and get bigger. I think this is a nice pick up!

 

[le_sean]

I know Grant loved him since the beginning. He slowed down in the 2nd half but he's good.

 

[Whitesnake]

Love the pick. Brook is so solid. Needs to take some weight, like 95% of the kids out there. But he is very good all around.

 

[TT1]

great pick

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Good add.

 

[Clearedwaivers]

I didn't know much about him, but I like what I'm reading about him. Seems like a solid pick up at 56. Duncan Keith type of style. We will take it!!

 

[Fazkovsky]

right handed why?

With weber, petry, juulsen?

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

right handed why?

With weber, petry, juulsen?

He won't be ready for like 3-4 years at the earliest, who cares who we have as RHD right now.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

right handed why?

With weber, petry, juulsen?

Pretty good chance Weber and Petry are gone in 4 years when these picks will be ready.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Pretty good chance Weber and Petry are gone in 4 years when these picks will be ready.

Petty yes. Weber no.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Underrated defenseman in this draft. Good pick.

 

[danyhabsfan]

He seems skill.

Good shot too.

 

[le_sean]

I'm actually trying to think of the difference between Brook and Timmins. Brook is younger too.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Petty yes. Weber no.

Maybe. This groups window is closing. If they don't win the cup in the next 3 years I would hope they'd start a rebuild and move guys like Weber

 

[Rise from the Ashes]

I have a great feeling about this selection. I can see him being a solid #3 D man. Good skater, size, solid hands. Timmins compared him to John Carlson.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

what's his upside compared to Juulsen's?

 

[HespelerGreenFlash]

Just watched some of this kid. I really really like what I saw. Love this pick

 

[NotProkofievian]

Dude's got some moves. I'm pretty happy with the pick. While 4 WHL defensemen in one draft is excessive there's a common theme: they can all skate. They can all move the puck. Works for me.

 

[TT1]

Seems like Timmins thinks hes similar to John Carlson.
