I'd still like to know why Kari Ramo isn't there..
Well he's played 48 NHL Games.
As for patience, maybe not so much, even I feel this dragging along. It will be rewarding to have a long list though. Also, I leave for university in 5 days and then it's rugby tryouts, rugby games, frosh week, parties, getting adjusted to uni life, getting classes started etc etc... So this might actually slow down a bit more, hopefully we can get down to the last 2 or so threads before I leave.
Fortier is a bust IMO. Ends up as a 3rd line AHL player. Sullivan has a chance to surprise people, he's a steal for the 7th round, chose him.
Hard to call him a bust just yet, after just one season in the AHL. Granted he didn't produce much in his first season after missing an entire season to injury, but the Randy's seemed to like him and now that his former coach with Rimouski is now his current coach in Hamilton, who knows what impact it may have on his game. In no way am I saying he's going to be anything special but I wouldn't write him off just yet.
Sullivan does sound interesting, too bad he's not going to Yale in the fall but at least it gives him 5 years before he has to be signed.

Well if we take HF's criteria into consideration, then all 24 yo shouldn't be there: Yemelin, Diaz...
Plus Weber, Desharnais and White are not graduates yet with the same criterias...

I've said before that I personally don't consider Yemelin or Diaz prospects. But people around here still do. Weber, White and Desharnais may not be official HF graduates, but if you look at it logically, they're all NHLers. I guess people's logic with Yemelin and Diaz is that they haven't played for the Habs yet

Yes I understand that. It's tough to meet everybody's expectations. My logic was more: either you follow the rules or you make new ones and stick to it... But I guess we're both not going to get that!
If I may, shouldn't Mayer, Massé, Klubertanz, Delmas and Kishel be there as well?!?!
