Thx Carol

3 things of note...

JV & Goldy playing hungry like Motte is more than an obvious must.

Brock getting in gear in December tells me how important off season training is & the kids ALL need to see & do this.

Lastly the competition to make this team oughta be at it’s highest or be gone.

My knock on Caufield is not a height thing. It’s an overall skill set thing. I’d be happy to see him prove me wrong, but the risk far outweighs the reward where we’re picking.

I agree. After the top 2 it’s all over the map but yet i like Americans & how they play. Still hoping on a trade or 2 for picks & go high risk reward in the 2nd & 3rd rounds.

IMO Newhook has a top 10 skill set. Just wait ‘til he’s @ BC playing with Boldy. If he’s a mid-1st pick, he’ll be moving up in future redraft articles. Choosing someone the likes of Soderstrom over taking a chance on Newhook would really piss me the (frank) off.
- DrChristianTroy


I’ve been curious about Newhook all year & tracking him he has slipped for no reason other than a BCHLer imo. Sure it’s a long season & rankings change. Newhook is exactly the type of player we could trade down for if the situation arises.

Assuming there's a long term timeline in place we better load up on Dmen this year. By the time our current core are reaching prime we need to have more Dmen ready to go, and they can take a long time.

If we win the lotto we should take Kakko. We all know Jack Hughes will go back to college and wait 4 years to become a free agent so he can play with his brother.

Wouldn’t that be sweet lol
By then we would be set to make noise.

Highly possible we do that unless Brackett has a sleeper pick or 2 up his sleeve.

We look pretty solid on LHD but those elusive RHD gems are hard to find. We need to get more than lucky or trade/UFA for one.

Woo is the only RHD wild card for us.

BChL overrated?
Beau Bennett
Tyler Bozak
Travis Zajac
Tyson Jost
Mike Santorelli
Jamie Benn

Basically best forwards that were or could have been drafted out of BCHL. Benn is kind of a stand out and had nowhere near the season that the others did. Bozak, Zajac, Turris have been basically 40-50 ppg over career avg.

Couple seasons ago, I said the same thing about Canadian players and got my ass chewed out in here. Funny how the reverse doesn't happen.
