so what determines a goalie prospects talent? been no more impressed by fucale the 2 times ive watched halifax than any other goalie in the CHL, yet hes the 'only first rounder'
Based on that final game, if you put Drouin or MacK on a different team, no way Halifax wins the way they do. A team that only lost 6 regular season games all year. One without the other would take their team down a peg. Jones paired with leadboots Rutkowski... It was obvious who the best defenseman on the Hawks was. Lose 6-4, but 1g +/- even for the game against Halifax's top pair?
Avs need defense. Lots of it. As much of it as they can get.

The Sabres will give you Myers, Sekera, the 8th pick and a 2nd for the 1st overall. You will have your lots of D if you take one at 8th.

If the Avs draft Jones they're victims to the media craze over him.
The best problem to have as a GM is 4 top 6 centres. Trade Statsny and O'Reilly for D-Men and draft MacKinnon. Take your 2nd rounder and draft a two-way centre. 3-4 years you're the Penguins and the Blackhawks.
Jones is over-hyped and runs as far away from the physical game as he can. He's a pu$sy. Waste of a #1 pick in this draft class.
