Carman 387 Report post Posted June 26, 2010 Looking at these other players that are being taken off the board is making me feel better about this pick. Etem/Merill/Kabanov might drop out of the first round anyways. I like the Sheahan pick though, he's a big player that is smart, that's always a good combo.

Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted June 26, 2010 Another note on Sheahan, Central Scouting had him ranked 5th among NA skater in their mid-term rankings. So there has to be something going for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted June 26, 2010 McFarland, Toffoli, Pitlick, Galiev, Weal, and Kabanov all seem to have some decent potential, and I've read good things about Pulkkinen. For defensemen, Merrill, Petrovic, Johns, Alt, Beukeboom, and Biega look good. Don't know about any of the Euro defensemen, but I assume some of them have to be good.

cjm502 165 Report post Posted June 26, 2010 A defensive minded forward that sometimes plays "like a 3rd defenseman". "One game I saw him cross the blueline, and just stop," a scout said. "He has probably dropped because of his lack of production, but he's learning to play away from the puck," another scout said. "He's a long-term prospect for a team who rarely skip any steps in development." Im not real thrilled with this pick. I guess Kenny and Nill know best, so lets hope they made the best choice.

Zetts 236 Report post Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) Sheahan didn't have great numbers last year, but that's not to say he doesn't have offensive potential. He was one of the youngest players in all of college hockey and played in a defensively oriented system. I trust Nill, and he seems to like the kid a lot. Jim Nill: I don’t like to make comparisons with young players. It’s not really fair to them. But he does remind me of Johan Franzen. He’s got a big, thick body. He’s been a big scorer. That’s what we project him to be.” http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2010/06/red_wings_pick_riley_sheahan_2.html Edit: Apparently the youngest player in college hockey.

Guest Heaten Report post Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) He's a safe pick. He could become a joe pavelski or a dan cleary. But he should certainly turn into, at teh very least, a solid 3rd liner. Skys the limit with this kid. It all boils down to 'how bad he wants it'. Edited June 26, 2010 by Heaten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
