Dude was like last in the bench press and couldn't do a single pull up

How'd that turn out for Sam Bennett? I think he potted 4 goals one night.

Knock on Vilardi has to be his skating.

High school hockey players don't do much weight training. That will change in college. As long as he can pull up his stick.

Yeah but you're an athlete and you know there was a scandal about Bennet not being able to do it. You know you will be tested on it, i'm not asking for a Ricky montage. but squeezing one or two out doesn't seem that tough.

Good pick.

Kid was 15 when Bennett was drafted.  Not sure he even knows who he is let alone the "scandal" that followed.

How far does Liljegren have to fall before a trade up becomes a viable option?

[Robviously]

Glass, then Suzuki. I'm liking the Vegas picks so far.

These guys have agents. Not to mention parents. Plus he is 15 and wanting to play in the NHL. You bet he watches the draft and follows the prospects above them

No, no, no. Agents would definitely preclude them from college hockey, should they so choose that route. They have "advisors." No harm, no foul. ;)

The Vegas Golden Showers are raining draft picks.

[Trettioåtta]

Weird there has been no trades

Brian Burke is looking more and more like an Oompa Loompa.

I'll get to see them first hand next week at rookie camp. Surprise nobody has traded draft spots.
