I still mourn for Cherneski. I think he would've been a very similar player to Brendan Morrow for us.
I think McIlrath will always be dogged until the day he makes it to the NHL. I've always said that there were guys I would've taken before him, but I don't think he's a bad prospect - if you accept him for what he is.
Don't try to turn him into an offensive guy, don't wait for him to put elements into his game that make him the next Shea Weber, just accept him as a tough as nails stay at home type. Beukeboom with better fighting ability.
