Nice article, but that scouting opinion of him is old. He first first eligible for the NHL draft in 2011, so he has already been passed over twice. I doubt that he will be drafted next spring. I don't think that the article linked within it was ever posted here.

Who do you think if any will get drafted? I am pretty sure about Melanson(3rd-6th round)but thought possibly we could have one other.:confused:

I agree about Melanson. The next most like is Tironese. I was a bit surprised that Tironese wasn't ranked, but his size is probably against him. They are the only two first time eligibles and are most likely to be selected. That article was high on Bourbonnais, but since he was pased over twice, it seems unlikely. Of our current players, Bradley seems most likely although he was passed over last year.

I had one source mention Bradley-but that was for last year's draft and it was just borderline. Perhaps this year? Tironese is another possible but again would be borderline. Other than 1st and perhaps 2nd round picks-these things are so tough to predict. The lockout this year may play a huge role if it continues much longer. Ther might not even be a draft.

You don't have to worry-Jenny will be with me. And even after all these years I fear that petite little lady with that hot Italian temper.(and she is usually armed and dangerous) I have always said if I was involved in a bar fight I would want her there with me.:eek:

I agree that they are both borderline, bur good seasons could help a lot. Tironese started out on the right track, but appears to have fallen off lately.

She is one tough little mini-Guinea. When she was running my office as both the office manager and the RN in charge-I referred to her as Nurse Ratchet. She is a throw back to the old time nurses you might remember as a kid. But as reliable as you can be and always willing to do what is necessary-no matter what that includes. If she was a hockey player-you wouold want an entire team like that. 100% effort all the time.

In his case I am sure they are looking at more than just scoring numbers. I have always rather naively been taken by the numbers, but after attending a few games in the company of astute hockey people who evaluate these kids-I am amazed at the things they focus on and chart. Of course they like kids who score and assist-but they look at so many other variables that i never even thought to consider. Not having seen Tironese at all I have no comment. But Bradley is a bit impressive in the way he adjusted to NCAA play fairly quickly. I do not expect him to be high on anyone's list but at the same time it would not surprise me to see him get a look in a later round.

Oh I agree, but scoring is most of what I can tell about Tironese having not seen him play. I have only seen a few clips.

I have seen even less. But i am sure that if he has shown anything special that they have a complete book on him already.
