Speaking of BIGGS, ANOTHER DRAFT BUST! Dude can't even put up 10 goals in Miami! What a joke....he would have been there in the 4th round, but Burkie has to draft his American Boy Toy!

James Van Riemsdyk, US National Under-18 Team, 6-3, 200, LW/L, May 4, 1989 -- “Skates very well, with surprising speed for such a big player. … Battles for position and doesn't give up on the play. … Strong in front of the net. … Has very good skills and the physicality to match. … Makes good decisions and has all the tools.” – Gary Eggleston.

Quote from a scout in 2006 during the draft. He was a winger even then.

That isn't college, that is the under 18.

I have 4 sources saying he played in college, you have 1 saying he played wing before college....

Bottom line is, he has experience, an it doesn't hurt to try him out in the pre-season. Worst case scenario he is an upgrade over Mac/Kule on the second line

If this team wins a cup, he'd complain about how they probably won't repeat.

If Dubinsky was available, he'd be an interesting acquisition.
He's coming off a rather lousy season, but drop him in between Lupul and Kessel, and you've got the potential for a huge jump in production.

unskilled? slow? He is a pretty good skater for his size, and has a good shot and decent hands. He is a power forward, will likely be a good 3rd liner, possibly a good 2nd liner

Is anyone on here willing to admit that Burke loves Americans? This is a Canadian sport, and I just would like him to get more Canadians on this team! Is that really a bad thing?

There are more Canadians on the Roster than Americans. More Canadians in the system than Americans.

Canadian =/= better team.
