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. Fair enough. And thats not really a new issue with players from Atlantic...they are either over hyped beyond belief or they get no credit, there doesn't seem to be an inbetween with kids from down here... This year is especially strong from NS compared to what NB, PEI and NL are sending down the pipeline for 1994's...but I dont see this as a 'bumper crop' from NS in the grand scheme of things. I think the weak group from the other 3 provinces has artificially propped up the 94's from NS...not saying anything bad about the 94's as a whole though, there are quite a few top end kids.

NS has had a couple of down years with the last 2 Q drafts. There were more players taken from NB than NS, and NB has half as many MM teams. It will be nice to see another strong year from the bluenosers.

Seems to be a fairly deep draft , don't think u will see alot of moves around the draft to try and move up in draft position, whats the thought on that ? not sure there's a need to jump up

I do agree that there isnt a huge need to 'jump up' from say 10th to 5th but this draft isnt as deep as what some people originally thought.

So lets cut to the chase, if you were Russell & Scouting Staff who would your 1st pick be lets start with LaLa followed by anyone else who would care to join in and I believe a poster from Saint John had an early list of the 1st 30 players available. It will be interesting to compare in June.

Because of their need for a scoring forward i would say at this point probably Burke, Gamelin is very much a play maker, if D was a focus, alot of people would say Fraser, but i really like Hache, especially seeing the progress he has made in the past 2 yrs i think his ceiling for potential is very high. Hache would not go #1 simply for the fact his offensive game has not developed yet

any date for the csr prospect game ? i think this year more so then the past some players may make some jumps in the eyes of scouts in this game. you could see alot of players slated for 2nd - 3rd round jump to late 1st round picks imo

Would u say Lala that Burke or Gamelin would be a Russell type player as in an Andrews or would they bring more offence also if a D-man was the best #1 player would u take him over a forward even though u need scoring forwards which maybe obtained in the 2nd round.

If the dman was far and away the best player, id take him. Poulin is the best dman, and in my opinion he is on the same level as the forwards being talked about, so I dont think Halifax would stray from taking a forward. Burke is a Russell type, although its hard to say what kind of players are 'Russell' types. Gamelin is a small, speedy, slick, playmaking centre, so he doesnt have the physical presense or defensive awareness that Burke does, so I dont think he would be a 'Russell' type based on the kinds of players I assume Russell likes.

There's no mention of the draft yet on the Cats board, but I'll bring this up here cause I figure someone (hopefully Lala) will answer it. The Wildcats do not have a selection until the 3rd round. Apparently, they're very high on Ryan Tesink playing for Woodstock junior A. Will he still be around when they pick?
Also hearing rumbles that his family doesnt want him going to the Q because of the "screw job" his brother Brad went through. Is this true?

I dont know the details on the way Brad was treated, but his AAA coach in Saint John at the time was working for Gatineau and they reached heaviliy to draft him. He wasnt a 1st rd caliber player at the time so im sure the increased pressure of being picked far too high got to him. Now onto your question regarding Ryan Tesink...its too early to say, but he did have a really good U17 and was outplaying some kids who were in the CHL and he has played quite well for Woodstock this season. I think at this stage, 3rd rd is a fair ranking for Tesink, but that could change.

Didn't he play 4 years?
