Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) So guys, who's left? Any BIG guys with offensive potential? What's the bet we take an undersized winger? Or another D-man? Edited June 23, 2007 by Aussie_Wing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kindlwillbegreat 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2007 Who is Petrecki? Quick Bio? And his position. 14. NICK PETRECKI image Pos: Defence Shoots: L Height: 6'3" Weight: 213 lbs. Born: 7/11/1989 From: Schenectady, NY Team: Omaha (USHL) RANKINGS TSN: 14 CSB: 21 NA ISS: 14 RLR: 16 McK: 17 THN: 15 The TSN Insider's Forecast: Scouts agree on so little in general, but this is pretty much unanimous: Nick Petrecki is the most physical defenceman available in the draft. If there were an award for best bodychecker and most aggressive play, Petrecki would likely win it. "He's mean, he hits to hurt and he has a bomb for a shot," said one scout. But some question his decision making with the puck and like Keaton Ellerby, it's possible he could slip a little on that basis. Either way, he should be a first-rounder and odds are he's taken between 10 and 20. Petrecki will attend Boston College in the fall. From NHL Central Scouting: A stay-at-home defenseman with excellent speed and lateral quickness. Has a strong physical presence on the ice with the ability to make the big hit. Is quick to the puck and makes hard and accurate passes Needs to improve the consistency of his decision-making and discipline. From ISS: Does everything hard - passes, shooting, finishing checks. Has good positioning vs the rush, does a nice job of taking away the middle of the ice. He shoots the puck like a pro via a bullet wrist shot and gets his shot through. He as well displays general nastiness that is indeed impressive and as a result it allows him to gain extra space.

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted June 23, 2007 Who is Petrecki? Quick Bio? And his position. Defensman. 6'3" around 215. Said to be the most physical player available in the draft. Very hard worker, great hands, and very reliable on the blue line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
