Yea, I hope Russell manages the quantity vs quality balance. That's partly what got me thinking about the possibility of somehow moving up or dealing for another 1st this year. IMO it would speed up the process a bit here if Russell could maneouvre (sp?) an additional top pick. All the picks are nice, but with the lack of goal scoring we've seen thus far, and the lack of that true star player up front (perhaps aside from Andrews), we could potentially plug 2 of them in, with not only our own 1st, but another one as well.
The talk of flexibility and ability to take risk is great... I mean if they have their bases covered with returning players and lots of good picks it gives them lots of options. There were lots of good picks this last year but two that I liked to see were the 11th and 12 rd picks in Gillard and Orr. They now afford to make more of those type picks as well with their late rounders as they can swing for the fence (Gillard) instead of trying to find depth (MacDonald, Matheson). Lala... that Ashley kid that's the leading Jr. A scorer, what's his story? Much/Any chance he comes to the Q?
Ashley is verballed to U of Maine....he will be drafted this coming year, probably a late rounder in the hopes he decides to come Q.
