I was talking with a Q scout last night and he mentioned if the draft was held today, and his team had 1st overall pick, they would be choosing Louick Marcotte from CCL. 38 games -- 22 goals -- 22 assists. One word...Attitude. But im not too surprised, hes been on a pretty good tear of late but id proceed with caution.

Jeremie Fraser and Luca Ciampini. Apparently Fraser doesnt like going to school. He just wants to play hockey. Not that that's a bad thing, but you have to be educated as well. With Ciampini, everyone tells him he has to work on his skating. But, he just ignores the talk and says "my game doesn't need work".

I dont know the kids personally, but when you hear the same things from 4-5 different people who arent necessarily associated with each other, it starts to get you thinking. I dont think Fraser, Ciampini and Marcotte are necessarily bad kids, but they are bringing up alarm bells for various reasons.

Taylor Burke is by far the top of the crop via NSMMHL. Defencemen would be Josh Desmon, Subways. Was he drafted last season? Second woud be Adam Brown, most points for a d-man under Desmond, but hes a rookie. Unfourtinatly doesnt have the size and could do another year in the NSMMHL. Id really like to see Burke go first round.

Id really like to see Burke go first round. Desmond wasnt picked...hes listed as 6'00 170 but hes more like 5'09 160...hes not a bad player. Good skill-set, he is a bit of a shit disturber too. He was playing some forward the last couple games with Dartmouth with the injuries to Anthony and Jansz and he looked better as a forward than a dman. If Brown is drafted, which is a big if...he will likely be back in Midget next year like you said.

Lala have you heard anything on Burke's attitude?? Spoke to a friend who knows one of the moose scouts very well and he was saying they are a little put off by his attitude. Is he a bad seed or just a little cocky? Big difference IMO but just wondering what you've heard. He's got size and skill, would hate to see us pass on him.

I dont buy into the attitude issues....have heard he is on the cocky side, but nothing that would worry me, hes just confident.

Brown is either off or on. Hes either hot for a while, then he looses it, and scouts are looking for consistancy. I agree, he'll do another year in midget then he'll be playing with the big boys. The thing is though, he is known to be hot in try outs, but i'm sure scouts look at the big picture.
As to Burke having attitude problems, what 15-16 year old doesnt when they're looseing. He's a hot head at times, yes hes cocky, but he can and should play in the Q next season.

I agree, there is nothing wrong with cockiness-I want players to be confident in their abilities, it is when it crosses the line into arrogance that it becomes a problem.

Good prospect, yes,, but wait on that by far comment until after the playoffs are over and he has a few head to head match ups against a couple of boys that haven't recieved their just due. Not going to bring up names (not a cheerleader) but looks like the CH team will match up against the Dartmouth team and some eyebrows will be raised. I've seen him play alot not quite sold the way that some are. Take the time to go see the next round of the playoffs then see if you can still say he is by far the best prospect.

Yeah....you hate cheerleading...must be why you mentioned Oliver-Dares' name about 50 times in your previous 2 posts... Oliver-Dares isnt even the best 15 year old forward on his own team anymore let alone in NS.

good research lala. practice what you preach nshockeyfan. Honestly, I'm sticking with what I said, the best forward from the nsmmhl is burke. its a toss up between desmond and brown for defence. burke is heading to the q. halifax would be lucky to have him.

not saying he isn't the best 94 forward in nsmmhl right now, but just questioning thew "by far" reference, there are a few players alot closer to him then people give them credit for. And prospect does not mean where you are now, it's where you have the potential to be down the road, and there are a few that have the abilities to be a better prospect, imo ..... as far a referencing O-D 50 times in previous posts, do the research again 2 posts one mentioning his health, the other defending the kid for some comments that weren't even close to being accurate. Anyway not here for a cat fight with a poster that obviously has some sort of god complex, just offering another opinion. said it before and i'll say it again i hope all of the top 94 prospects from ns get drafted high and do well in their Q careers. when and if the metro teams meet in the playoffs, do yourself a favour go watch ALL of the games and form your own opinions, cause even god oops i mean LaLa can be wrong

I dont have a personal vendetta against Oliver-Dares, I just found your comment about not cheerleading to be humorous. I understand your frustration though...all thru Peewee and Bantam it was always Oliver-Dares being the best 94 in province...Burke has zoomed past him and I know that can be frustrating for some people to deal with.

Not my feeling at all, all the best to Burke he is the best 94 right now hope he does go #1 overall in the draft, with the year he has had he deserves it. Point out where i downed the kid ? It's been the other way around when people talk about him especially here they make the other players from NS sound like they can't hold his jock, which if you come out and watch a great number of games (not 3 or 4) is just not true. it will be just another feather in the cap for hockey in NS if/when he goes #1. But lets not forget we have another 4-5 players that have legitimate 1st round potential. I think you took my comment all wrong I wasn't referring just to O-D there are a few kids not getting there just due.
