Should never draft for need, especially when there was superior talent available still at 21. Brackett missed the boat on that one. I hope I am proven wrong though. I disagree. Where we were drafting from in the round, a bottom 6 C starter would be a welcome addition to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confused by this: "thats a big reason BG doesn't like him." Are you guessing that Guerin has an issue with guys that have hard to pronounce names and holds it against them? I mean his last name is GWERIN. Willy is referring to Rossi's reluctance to speak up for himself. His personality is too timid for Guerin. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying it's Rossi's personality type that doesn't sit well with BG. It took him 2 years, maybe 3 to speak up and say, hey this is how you pronounce my name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ek was always a completely unstoppable defensive force. That's certainly too high of an expectation in my eyes. David Edstrom was the defensively strong C that people said reminded them of JEE, and he was available there, eventually selected #32. Edstrom is 6'2" and playing a significant role for his Swedish Hockey League team where he's recorded 6 points in 8 games as a 19-year old. He turns 20 in February, so he's even younger and more accomplished. Stramel is a big bigger, but I thought Edstrom was the better option on draft day and that hasn't changed yet. We'll see who's better in a few years, but I'm putting my money on Edstrom's more developed 2-way game. Does this sound like early JEE or what, "“Edstrom is an intriguing center who touches all elements of the game with above-average play. All his traits seem to be plus qualities, though at the same time he doesn’t necessarily stand out with a lot of flash or pizzaz.” -- FC Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
