Earthhuman 8 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 Sweet, good attitude. That's just good drafting. Tell me again why this guy was passed up on so much? Was it his size or something? He's big enough, as far as I'm concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IrishWing19 6 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 He had a bad year injury-wise, only played 40 games, in his draft year (2005/2006) so he slipped out of the 1st round, Detroit traded down to nab him and Shawn Matthias in the 2nd round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 Is Emmerton eligible to play for GR this year? I hope so. But if not, I'm sure he'll tear up the OHL this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, he played a full season that year. It was the year after he was drafted that he got hurt and missed the final third of the season. I can't WAIT to see how Emmerton does in GR. He and Mursak are both going to break onto the AHL scene this year and it should be interesting. Holland's praising his two-way play - sounds exactly like the Wings' sort of player.

Earthhuman 8 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 So then I still have no idea why we was drafted in the 2nd round. I read it somewhere... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
