P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Hockeysfuture.com: Gleason Fournier Talent Analysis Talented offensively, the problem for Gleason Fournier is that he is a defenseman first and foremost, but sometimes he doesn't play like one. Able to make quick decisions with the puck and move it well, he sometimes struggles in his own end, especially when under pressure. A valuable tool on the power play, at 6'0 and 174 pounds, he would benefit tremendously if he can get larger and stronger on his skates in the coming years. A soft North American...

Sounds like the typical Red Wings defensive draftee. Great offensive skills and can play on the PP but his defence needs a lot of improvement. Wish he was a little bigger but oh well.

egroen 384 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Well poo -- I'd be shocked if Rajala is still around at #150. Woud have loved to see him at #90. This kid's stock REALLY fell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glubki 17 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Well - I''m pleased so far. They got a solid right wing prospect which they desperately needed and who is right handed. A center that was projected to go a bit higher by some, a sizeable left winger and a defenseman I never heard of. Typical Wings draft... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Can you hear me!? Buy the AUGER! A long break ahead. What players are you still waiting to get drafted? I can name only Rajala.

egroen 384 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Rajala #101 to Edmonton. I don't know how so many teams passed up on a guy that beat Ovechkin's scoring record at the World Juniors. I don't care if he is 5'2 and 95 lbs. Wish the Wings had taken a chance on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
