At this point it looks like there's something fundamentally wrong in his character.
Helms second year in GR was a downer.
Ericsson had a downer year in GR.

Wow. Two Swedes who've ACTUALLY PROVEN something are getting beat out by a 6'4 slapshot who can't skate, pass or play defense.

Hah. I mean, I can see the case for Almquist.

Ryan Who?



Seems like alot of voters read Malik's comments on Sproul from the summer camp. That's cool. IF he really is our second best defense prospect.... that's awesome. We could use him.

I think it's time to put this one to bed. I'm interested to see how 21 and beyond looks.

Hahah.
Good one. I am at RWC. And the people at LGW are probably more likely to vote for Sproul the folks here.

Enh. They don't really talk all that much about prospects there. Mostly Hudler.

Sproul looks like a tremendous prospect, was taken in the 2nd round and his stocks were getting higher every day. I really don't see the need to be so aggrieved at him being our 9th best prospect.
