Robviously Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Guys a fighter, long fight card. He's definitely not a scorer. Seven goals in his first 127 OHL games.
spndnchz Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Posted June 23, 2012 Might want to take the naked pic off his twitter. https://twitter.com/#!/jumbs9/
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Wow! Another big centre. Our 4th liner in a few years? Might want to take the naked pic off his twitter. https://twitter.com/#!/jumbs9/ Paging Inkman to the Round Three Pick thread ...

spndnchz Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Posted June 23, 2012 Our 4th rounder went to get Ehrhoff rights so we won't pick again until round 5, #133.
X. Benedict Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Our 4th rounder went to get Ehrhoff rights so we won't pick again until round 5, #133. The Islanders are sure to draft the next Mike Bossy with that pick. :)
inkman Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 I'm all for toughness and fighting but does a kid who scores 3 goals and loses more than half his fights deserve to go 73rd overall? To Compare: Andrew Peters 14 goals in his best season in juniors Paul Gaustad 36 goals in his best season in juniors

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Meh...I'm getting too old for that ######. OK, what just happened here? Our 4th rounder went to get Ehrhoff rights so we won't pick again until round 5, #133. Best to keep your nose to the grindstone, Chz ... there could be a trade, or something.
inkman Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 Kea is Travis Turnbull 2.0 in a few years. Well, a bigger, suckier version. On a side note Turnbull turns 26 in a couple of weeks. I guess he's not exactly a prospect anymore. Although, Scott Nichol didn't get to the show until he was 27 so anything is possible.

To Compare: Andrew Peters 14 goals in his best season in juniors Paul Gaustad 36 goals in his best season in juniors Gaustad had his big goal-scoring season *after* he was drafted though. I think he scored 6 goals the year before he was drafted (2000). This probably wouldn't have been my pick here.
Lanny Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 I'm all for toughness and fighting but does a kid who scores 3 goals and loses more than half his fights deserve to go 73rd overall? To Compare: Andrew Peters 14 goals in his best season in juniors Paul Gaustad 36 goals in his best season in juniors He's still got two years of juniors left to play. When Gaustad scored those goals he was 2 years older than Kea
nobody Posted June 23, 2012 Report Posted June 23, 2012 DEVINE SAYS: “If you look at his stats, they weren’t very good during the regular season. But (Saginaw) fired their coach during the season, and now he’s playing for Greg Gilbert, a guy Darcy and I both know. (Gilbert) thinks that he’ll be a good third-liner center in the NHL; a better-skating Paul Gaustad.”
chileanseabass Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 I'm all for toughness and fighting but does a kid who scores 3 goals and loses more than half his fights deserve to go 73rd overall? At this stage, I'll take it. Seeing as how Buffalo didn't have a 4th round selection, they probably picked him early, anticipating he wouldn't be there in the 5th round. I'm not too concerned with his win-loss record. He can learn to fight over time. What he can't "learn" is the willingness to drop the mitts. I'll take that any day.
