And Boom goes the dynamite!

Exactly. Why would they trade millers rights for a second when by doing that they would have to give the sabres their first?

Blues are obviously a good team but if they don't resign miller and go with their rookie could that give us an outside shot at the blues struggling a bit and a slim chance they even miss the playoffs?

I would think it would have to be higher than that? Maybe 21?

There's always a chance he could be taken before dal colle but if he does I think it had little to do with what he does in that tourney. This draft is loaded with chl players that are not participating in that tourney. Dal colles 20 points in 12 ohl playoff games mean much more than what nylander does in the iihf under 18 IMO.

I'm not confident they will take Ekblad but with both Sams being rated close to evenly, we can just take the other. I'd prefer Reinhart but I think Benett will end up being a very good player.

Agreed. Never too early to start looking at some mocks.

Ya that's what I remember. That's a huge fall from 6 down to the first pick in the second round! McKeown falling half a round in a draft that is far from deep on the back end is also surprising to me.

What in the hell happened to Anton Karlsson and Roland McKeowan?? Weren't they names being thrown around early in the year for top 5 picks?

Yep, untimely poor goaltending led to the downfall. The Gens even started their backup in the last elimination game. Dal Colle actually looked better in this series of them getting swept then the previous series in which they swept the Petes.

No.

Dal Colle bounced from the playoffs. He ends with 8-12-20 in 12 games. Ya, I'd certainly take him at 5 overall.

That was only a matter of time.

Hhahahaha, that's great. But let's also keep in mind that you have to be a f*cking m-o-r-o-n to write that way on a final exam versus a message board. I generally type every letter out if I'm at a desktop computer but if I'm typing on my iphone then I'm shortening it up when I can. 'Ppl' are sometimes giving their two cents in on a subject as they're walking out the door or doing something else. I have no problem with it.

It's never to early to start keeping an eye on him. They did pull off a big win 5-2 last night and he picked up a couple of assists. Man I wish he was in this draft.... Actually I don't wish that because if he were then we would be missing out on him picking second....

To be completely honest I've focused in on this drafts OHL top prospects. My wife would kill me if I stay up to speed in every series haha. Although looking just at his stats he is well over a point a game with 4-15-19 in 13 games.

Generals go down 3-0 in the series but Dal Colle has a nice night scoring twice and easily could have had another one or two. The Gens had their backs against the wall and although the goaltending let them down, Dal Colle rose to the occassion and was the best player on either team last night.

I would like to start seeing more out of dal colle. Generals are down 2 0 in the series and he's been largely invisible. If we get the isles pick and he's still on the board I'm sure we take him but I haven't been overly impressed with him over the past 4 or 5 games now.

Hahaha very nice. I'm just so glad I didn't have to read the famous 8 to 14 everyone and their grandmother use on this board. I bet they finish 7th last just to spite them all.

Bingo. Hope you saved some more tank pics for next year.

Let's go blues!!

Ya I've seen him the least out of the top guys and this is what I've read too.

Wow, I had just looked up the stats on this and was going to reply with this exact same thing. Then as I'm scrolling down I see you had already done it. Nicely done. The Isles sucked last year with Tavares (and Vanek the majority of the time) in the lineup.

Damn, beat me to it!! I'm glade he's out. No chance he gets a serious injury now and he can't completely go off in the Memorial Cup tourney and swing Florida to draft him.

Good on the jackets. Few gave them a prayer at playing with Pitt.
