I'd take him in the 5th-6th round, but I think he will likely go in the late 6-7th rounds. <br />-----<br /><br />Craven, was injured to start and end the year, also the Tigers didn't give him a whole lot of ice time. I think for those reasons it's hard-pressed to see him get drafted. I think at best a late 7th round.<br /><br />I think he will turn out to be a pretty good player so he will need an NHL scout to go to bat for him.

Why is it he can't take the time to represent the team for a couple hours to promote a great fundraiser, but instead the Athletic Therapist and Assistant Coach do it. I think it's great that these two did it and good on them, however would it be too much to ask the so called guy at the top to be in the public eye for once. When Willie was here that was one day he always volunteered for and it was awesome for him to that. Been following twitter where a lot of other GM and/or Head Coaches of Canadian teams in the WHL volunteered their time which speaks volumes of their character.

As far as I am concerned they should just do away with this tournament. The hosting team loses money and if the Pats win after losing in the first round of the playoffs isn't that a hollow victory? I really hate the host team rule and until they change it I have very little interest in the outcome every year.

We currently don't have a 99 defensemen on the roster so this would create some better balance. Just think about what kirichenko did for us in his 20 year old year. <br />As it sits now the only guy who I can practically guarantee back at 20 from the 99 group is hamblin. <br />Ostir is probably next in line and then maybe Haden or preziuso. <br />So with this in mind I think trade a guy like preziuso or something like that and maybe add a draft pick for a 99 defensemen. <br /><br />While the 00 and 01 groups are strong I believe having 3 99 overages is equally important.

Owen went there at 18 after playing his 17yo season for the Pat C's. Not sure if he went out there with one of his parents or just got billeted, but Cole and Lukas were still in Regina. Moving to Penticton for the winter(maybe more...??) worked the best for getting the best development for Lukas and Cole. Lukas committing to the Vees for the season and Cole to OHA to play against the top Bantam talents in the West/country. Mike joining the OHA staff, to me, seemed like he was offered a job or offered his services to help out the program and also for something to do while out there. <br /><br />I say Cole ends up back in Regina playing for the Pats C's as they have a great program that is often tops in western Canada. <br /><br />As for Lukas, he was drafted by the Melville Millionaires and they weren't expected to be very strong at all this past season and having a slim chance at decent minutes on a veteran Pats team hosting the Memorial Cup, things were worked out and he signed with the Vees, another top notch program that his brother already plays for. <br /><br />In the end, I really believe this was all for the best development while the whole family could still stay together. The family has the money and ability to go where they want, when they want, so they're taking advantage of that freedom. If my theory(this is still all just my theory) is accurate, then Cole will be a star for the Pat C's and Lukas will damn near be a walk on to the Pats and given good ice time right off the bat with the younger line-up. <br /><br />Of coarse, there is always the possibility that they both stay in Penticton as well, but for me, I don't see that happening. <br /><br />FGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
