Ahh, but he DID make a pause... Right before he tried to pronounce Mukhamadulin's name...
"The Devil's select, Shakir..."
*Pause*
*Deep breath*
"Mukhamadulin"
Gut feeling of shitstorm? =-D
Yeah I never get too high or low anymore during the draft since I tend to like to see what a player does in his D+1 before I completely shit or ride off a player. He's done fine imo since his draft year unlike a guy like Chase Stillman (god still hate it)
Didn`t like Stillman at all. And didn`t understand the pick. Like I said many times - OHL scout, who promoted him(and Mcleod) was fired. Fitz cleraly didn`t know about him and was surprised when people asked him about dannish league. And I think it`s ok, it`s late rounder, it is his work to hire professional scouts to scout. We have example of Vancouver, where GM was not excited about draft picks(who succeed) and fired his scout, who makes Minnesota WIld number 1 prospcet pool in eyes of Wheeler. May be our prospect pool is better, it doesn`t matter, Wild made good work with their drafting and trading for prospects without high picks. I think you should trust your scouts, and if their job isn`t good - you fire them. Just for example it may not count only by picks, scouts can promote some players over some players, and if after few years you that your scout often right or wrong - you are making decisions about them. I like decision about our ex OHL scout(I don`t exactly remember if he was OHL scout only or CHL scout overall. it will effect on Ty Smith pick too), I don`t like decision of our ex OHL scout.
Anyway we have a chance to have everything we wanted from Stillman in Bardakov.
