Reading some of the comments on the Nucks thread about how Schneider has anxiety issues anyway is some of the finest chocolate I've sampled

Leafs should trade Grabo for Brad Richards, then bring in Lecavalier

Boom! and trade for Martin St Louis!

Well, this is sort of reminiscent of last year for me. When they picked Rielly I had my doubts and reservations, but liked the pick after some research. Time to stop female doging about it and be happy with the Gauthier pick. You need players like him if he can play his style in the NHL.

seems like a safe pick for late first round. big, defensive C. you're not gonna get a 1C at that point in the draft but it adds to the system in a solid way. at least we had a pick and didn't do anything really dumb

I'm thinking this Verhaeghe kid could be a good pick. I'll bet Strome graduates to the Islanders this season and Verhaeghe could get some 1st line minutes.

Can you imagine the awkward vibe around that team for the next few years? Excellent work Mike.

I think Lou should demand a trade and ask Mikey how it feels to be tossed under a Greyhound.

"I've never seen a kid get back and play defence like he does in 20 years," Chris Bordeleau of NHL Central Scouting said. "In his own end, he's always around the puck. A kid that can play defence like he does at his age, with that kind of maturity, is very rare."

Anyone picked outside of the top 10 is a complete coin flip but if that description is accurate there's always room in the NHL for that kind of player. There's pretty much zero chance this kid is going to turn into a first liner but if you can draft someone at the 21st spot who becomes an NHL regular then you've done pretty good.

"Chris Bordeleau of NHL Central Scouting has tracked the progress of countless players in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League pipeline over the past three decades.

Still, he struggles when asked to recall a forward matching the defensive acumen and awareness exhibited by 2013 draft-eligible center Frederik Gauthier of the Rimouski Oceanic.

The closest resemblance might be Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier, who starred for the Drummondville Voltigeurs for three seasons. But even that's a stretch."

That's pretty high praise.

I could see that happening. There is no way in hell Luongo can continue to play there long term.

The organization brought him to tears on national television. If they were going to go with him all along, they shouldn't have jerked him around for two years.

The first game he gets shelled and the boos start to rain down on him, he's going to pull a Patrick Roy: "I'm never playing another game in a Canucks uniform."

What a bunch of bs. I wonder how many concussions Johnny Bower got playing against the likes of JFJ senior and his ilk playing for three grand a year. I play real hockey too so I don't have to worry about watching.
