Bill, we only caught a glimpse, but it seemed like the scouts ranked defensemen higher on their final board due to organizational need rather than BPA (ie. many defensemen above Monahan) -- which is disheartening to see.

As well as size and aggressiveness being held in higher regard than skill.

Thankfully, Holmger stepped in slapped them all in the face.

I think the smart vote here is Coburn; has spent the most time here, and has been (generally) good. That said, I voted for Markov.

Unfortunately, they cut away right before Homer got up, snatched the marker out of Pryor's hands, and proceeded to list all the two-way centers in descending order of likelihood of being the next Mike Richards. The updated board had Monahan at #1.

How did your best playoff performer these past couple of years not make the list? Biere is definitely there!

I went with Bundy. Most games played with mostly solid steady performance throughout.

Well he should be below Briere on the ranking.

IDK about that... Primeau was the (frank)ing man for us. Dont look at his scoring stats as a determining factor, what about his defense, physical play, faceoffs, leadership. He was by far the best captain we have had in a long time. Briere and Primeau are both over Carter, Knuble in my book

Briere needs to play center, so I'd keep Knuble. Dude was arguably the best RW we've had since Renberg.
