Whats with all the D picks? I think those are BPA picks. Both Lepage and Charlebois were rated as high 2nd round picks and slipped, so Halifax grabbed them.

Lepage and Flower are both RHD as well. Remember before yesterday our depth chart for RHD was
RHD: - - -
Yup.
Now, it's
RHD: -Donaghey -Flower -Lepage
Not saying both Flower and Lepage make the team, however, I think they have a good shot.

Best to listen to Guru when he says Bowers not relevant.

Should start to see a run on Americans soon. Weak draft for them but a lot of teams have not picked 1 yet.

He's a writer for the hockey news. Seems reasonably credible. Either he or Palov will prove correct and even Bowers left the door open that he needs to talk things over. Not like Palov is always right. Even Jack Eichel tweeted he was proud to be picked by the Mooseheads. If he's a credible source it makes his tweet that much worse. Just my opinion, but stating so definitively that a player will not report moments after he was drafted, then having that player completely leave the door open makes him lose a lot of credibility. I'm sure it was Bowers agent that told him the information. That's how it goes.

Halifax selects Shawn Kennedy 116th overall. He was ranked 29th on the Central Scouting List..
Why has he slipped so far? NCAA commitment?

Looks like our scouts did their homework, I like our depth now; will be interesting to see what we do at the import draft.

We won't know until training camp how well the scouts did. As a fan I'm happy to see where they placed the emphisis. We picked up a pair of skilled forwards, 2 right handed D, a big physical, smooth skating left handed D...

Fawcett needs to add a bit of size! 5.03 and 115lbs??? Likely reason for last round, growing season!

I like the picks but it just doesn't make much sense that they didn't move one of the current D players. I know they need to earn a spot but 3 guy all rated as 2nd rounders you have to think at lest 2 of them should be able to make the team. So why not move a guy like Taillefer. It was talked about earlier I think on this exact forum the pairings as it stood before today. Here's what they look like, Donaghey/ Fitzgerald, Ford/ Hunter, and then any mix of Taillefer, Argento, and Nauss. It's going to be very interesting training camp for the Blue liners.

Put up 2ppg in a relatively small sample size in the same league as Putintsev, so I'm reckoning it was a case of talent, but too tiny.
