1st round #15, Swift Current:
Evan Richardson - Center, 5'3" 125lbs
08-09: Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence (KIBIHT) -- 7gp-7g-3a-10pts-18pim
08-09: Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence (Victoria AAA bantam tournament) -- 5gp-6g-4a-10pts-2pim
08-09: Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence (St. Albert AAA bantam tournament) -- 5gp-4g-4a-8pts-25pim

07-08: Nanaimo Clippers (KIBIHT) -- 7gp-5g-7a-12pts-4pim

I'm hoping that size I have for him is out of date. I mean, 5'3"? At that height, that could be HIM in the picture above, for all we know.

2nd Round 37, Swift Current:

08-09: Notre Dame Hounds (SSMHL AAA bantam) -- 23gp-22g-21a-43pts-41pim

Our scouts say that Richardson is probably the fastest kid in the draft. Also the Broncos have him listed as 5'6, 135lbs.

i've watched richardson play a number of times this year...he is small but has every tool you would want in a forward...skating, shooting, passing skill is all very high. he also possesses the ability to see the play ahead of most every player on the ice...oh and he has a temper... you guys got a real good one.

cheers

steal of pick in sutton olson. was one of the higher rated players in manitoba and is a very complete player

[trucker]

Does anyone know what the conditional pick we got from Kelowna will be after we gave away Guges?

Does anyone know what the conditional pick we got from Kelowna will be after we gave away Guges?

I could be wrong, but i seem to recall hearing that the value of the pick hinges on how far the Rockets go this year, and if Guggenburger is back in the WHL next year.

It was a conditional 5th round pick in 2010. The pick doesn't move up or down based on his performance. The condition is whether or not Kelowna kept him around. If the Rockets chose to not keep him following the trade or he didn't report then its void. Safe to say we get a 5th rounder next year.

Kinda an update here (yeah had to search to pull this back out). But Keen has an article on his blog on Evan Richardson. All i can say is the guy looks to be amazing, fastest skater and top goal scorer of the BCHL.
