With the 2014 Draft coming up this weekend, I figured we might as well have a thread going for it. Board has been pretty quiet as of late.
Hoping to see Dumont make some smart moves as he has been doing.
What is everyone hoping for? We certainly have the pieces to make some moves.

Boys, it's Fitzpatrick, not Fitzgerald.
I want Fitzpatrick @ 5 and I doubt Balmas is available at 13 but that would be the "optimal picks" in my opinion.

I would like to see Fitzpatrick at #5 and a top end defenceman at #13. Although Balmas is local, I still think our greatest need is on the back end, which I think we should address with these two picks.

www.theqmjhl.ca/article/meet-draft-prospect-rankings-no-4-through-10/162894The Newbridge Academy Gladiators were blessed this past season with the top goalie on the East Coast, Evan Fitzpatrick - all 6-foot-2 and 194 pounds of him, no less. “You almost have to remind yourself that he’s only 15. People are talking about him ending up at around 6-foot-5 when he’s done growing,” marvelled Legault. In 18 starts this season, Fitzpatrick won 12 games, posting a 2.31 GAA and a .920 save percentage. “Despite his considerable size, Evan is very quick in his crease. His lateral moves are fast and smooth. I have no doubts that he will make an impact in the QMJHL. He’s a hybrid style goalie who has a very calm demeanour,” described Legault. Expected to be the crown jewel among goalies this year, Fitzpatrick knows he will have his work cut out for him at the next level. “It’s a nice honour to be the No.1 ranked goalie, but his is only the next step towards my goals. It’s now going to be up to me to prove why I’ve been ranked so high,” says Fitzpatrick who is renowned for his excellent rebound control. An honourable mention goes out to No. 11 ranked prospect, Mitchell Balmas of Nova Scotia. Many scouts have tabbed him as a sure-fire NHLer, which could mean he will be snatched up much sooner. His ranking only tumbled this low due to his lack of passion and desire on the ice.

If I was a betting man I would pin the #5 on Fitzpatrick and Balmas as #13 if available.
Of course , most of us would predict that.
I do not think Balmas will be available at 13 though. Perhaps they will move down even more for security.
Nice read seagle.

I honestly would much rather see the 13th pick to go for a Dman. Although if Balmas is really that good he might be hard to pass up. As dumont did in the past (Roy) just take the best player thats available.

Lalancette just wrote on his blog that the 13th pick will be Cape Breton's because Chicoutimi had promised a better pick than Baie-Comeau's in the Roy deal.
