VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 Never understood the fascination with draft day in any sport. Only a few of them are actually going to end up as NHLers, and it's hardly ever the big ones you'd expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 Jim Kelly's Mock Pick for the Wings is hilarious. Detroit Red Wings Some nameless, faceless Euro who will not be on anyone's list and with a bio you couldn't find if you had both hands on his stats. Likely will evolve into a Selke or Norris Trophy candidate. Damned if we know his name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 Well, in light of the fact that the draft is today, I'd like to post my wish list in here Hopefully we get a few of these kids: I'd love to see Detroit trade Lebda, Meech or Quincey for 2nd round picks depending on whether Lilja and Stewart sign. In a similar vein, I'd be happy if Detroit could trade down to get two high second round picks. Here are the players I think Detroit should grab. I've selected players that are all found between 20 and 50 in THN's draft guide, the ISS or Future Considerations' draft guide. Some of the earlier players might go before Detroit can get them but if they're here I've picked them because there's a chance they might slip a few spots between now and draft day. Note that the comments bellow aren't my own scouting but rather represent the information I've gleaned from websites and multiple draft guide scouting reports. Anyway, here are the Detroit draftable players I think would be beneficial for our prospect system: Jordan Eberle [iSS 20] [THN 22] [FC 15] [Average rank 19] Country: Canada Pos: C Ht: 5-10 Wt: 174 Projection: Goal-Scoring Forward Talent: Scored 42 goals this year in WHL, elite stick handling and scoring, quick and lethal wrister, deceptive, defensively responsible, excellent attitude and competitiveness. Drawbacks: Small size will scare off some teams, strength also an issue. Zac Dalpe [iSS 29] [THN 29] [FC 26] [Average rank 28] Country: Canada Pos: C Ht: 6-0 Wt: 170 Projection: Skilled Forward Talent: Impressive vision, high speed, good hockey sense, primarily a finisher, good playmaking and puck-handling, battler, great along the boards, great work ethic. Drawbacks: Severely lacking strength, doesn't use linemates as well as he could, inconsistent defensive game. Bonus: Zac committed to play for Ohio State next year so he offers the benefits of a US College player under the CBA. Mikhail Stefanovich [iSS 43] [THN 20] [FC 32] [Average rank 32] Country: Belarus Pos: C Ht: 6-2 Wt: 202 Projection: Power Forward Talent: high-skill level, excellent shot, soft hands, goal scorer. Drawbacks: some scouts question attitude and work ethic, inconsistent at times, considered a "project" by some. Mitch Wahl [iSS 33] [THN 37] [FC 27] [Average rank 32] Country: USA Pos: C Ht: 5-11 Wt: 175 Projection: Two-way Forward / Playmaking Forward Talent: Strong vision, good hockey sense, fast skater with excellent balance, hard to knock off the puck, excellent passer in traffic, strong playmaking ability, soft hands, good puck carrier/protector, team first attitude, great work-ethic and competes hard. Drawbacks: Small stature, doesn't play a physical game, more of a playmaker than a finisher. Corey Trivino [iSS 36] [THN 36] [FC 33] [Average rank 35] Country: Canada Pos: C Ht: 6-1 Wt: 170 Projection: Skilled Forward / Playmaking Forward Talent: Highly skilled with the puck, great playmaker, good speed, crafty, excellent passer in traffic, soft hands but definitely a pass-first type of player, good defensively and willing to play the boards. Drawbacks: Needs to gain strength, will require some time to develop properly so he's not an NHL ready player on draft day. Bonus: Attending the Boston University in September- so he's got time to develop under the current CBA. Tyler Ennis [iSS 40] [THN 41] [FC 34] [Average rank 38] Country: Canada Pos: C Ht: 5-8 Wt: 153 Projection: Offensive Forward Talent: Hilarious last name will make for entertaining chants in opposing arenas, fast skater with quick foot speed, elusive, excellent puck-handler, capable of performing amazing moves at full speed, great 1-on-1, offensively minded, good with tight space, good cycling in the corners, good back checking, intelligent and has a great hockey sense. One draft guide stated he'd be a top 10 pick if he was 4" taller. Drawbacks: Needs to gain a lot of strength, can get pushed around (but doesn't let that get him off his game), because of his tiny size he's more likely to be injured playing in the physical NHL, has a tendency to be forced to the outside because of his size, penis does indeed rhyme with his last name. Bonus: For the last 3 years he's played in the WHL, a pretty physical league, but still managed to put up 43 goals for 91 pts in 70 games this year. Brandon Burlon [iSS 48] [THN 58] [FC 28] [Average rank 45] Country: Canada Pos: D (shoots left) Ht: 6-0 Wt: 190 Projection: Two-way Defenseman Talent: Strong skater, good vision, great at directing play from the back end, great transition game, great shot with an excellent one-timer, strong defensively with sound position and good stick use, excellent PP quarter back, poised on the ice, good leader. Possible top-two defender. Drawbacks: Needs to learn when not to pinch, needs extra strength, has yet to see much high-level competition. Bonus: Attending the University of Michigan in September.
