The kid is 18, 6'4 center good on draws who can kill penalties and score goals. (frank) his skating stride.

He also had a mono earlier in the season which affected his production. That and the fact that he was playing on a poop Drummondville team.

That's what I thought. Because I remember talking about him heading into the draft last year, and being in Barrie, I was excited since I watched him play a few games last year. He's going to be a good one and would have been a really sexy pick for us too.(big center and all) Weird pick by Winnipeg, but anyways...

Would have been a good pick for us, even though I think Beaulieu will be better down the road.

But according to you he's a bust.

I've never said so. I said that he was overhyped and overrated. Just like Cameron Gaunce this year.

I guess if parents don't care if their son thinks being a man begins and ends with his penis, then yes, I can see how some would think raising a boy is easier. But if you're actually trying to raise a gentleman, and you hear LMFAO rap "I'm running through these hos like Drano" -- as they do in "Party Rock Anthem," the second most popular song of 2011 -- then you're not breathing a sigh of relief because it's so much easier to raise a boy. Instead you're wondering how much of what you're trying to teach him soaks in, versus what our culture says is OK.

I think Beaulieu has more skill but Scheifele would have been a better fit regarding our team needs.

If Gaunce is overhyped and overrated, who is draft priority in MTL? (Let's assume we arent' picking Nail or Grigorenko)

Huberdeau was much more overhyped, drafted high based on 1 good season on a stacked team, but you won't bring that up. But you think Hamilton, Zibenajed, Schiefle, Nugent-Hopkins and Landeskog are all busts.

Would be nice if, for once, the Habs could draft a player that is so good that he would make the team right away...

Him or Girgensons. Even Ceci or Trouba (they are D's but it's hard to pass over such talented players)

Have I ever made a comment on you and your liking of flies in a pond? No? Then stop with the extremely racist remarks.

Huberdeau is better than Hamilton, Zibanejad and Scheifele.

He is my pick as well, I just wanted to see if QP would agree, since he's so into the whole prospects thing.
