Going for Vince

Between Nick Mattson and Garret Ross for me and I went with Garret Ross. Kind of like Shaw, drafted as an overager and I like his game. He is similar to Shaw, pesky type player but has more size than Shaw.

Garret Ross was tied for 4th in OHL points last week. He was a nice mid-late pickup. I think another 5th rounder like Shaw. Not sure but pretty sure? Anyway we have done well in our 3rd-5th round picks.

Funny thing about Ross' stats (and stats alone, not considering his ice time/development)

As his penalty minutes went down, his scoring went up.

What a shock!

randomly picked Matt Thompson

we really have a bad prospects pool when we don't have a clear cut guy at this position

He was good in his limited time, but I'm talking about an elite #1. IMO, Hackett was never that.

[HossTheBoss]

I don't think there's any chance Carruth becomes an 'elite' goaltender. But, with goalies, it's really hard to say. Carruth has looked solid in the WHL up to this season - not great, no elite; just solid - but maybe this season, with how well he's played, can spring-board him into becoming a legitmate, potential starting goaltender prospect.

[Bubba88]

his numbers are outstanding right now and he already looks good wearing a "Hawks" sweater



his mask looks great

[ChiGuySez]

Hinostroza.

Travis Brown isnt listed.
