4 first rounders

[Tipped Off]

Four tips in the first round (if you count Irving), five in the top two rounds (Potuer in Rd. 2) and six overall (Harty in Rd. 4). Not a bad crop of youngsters! But remember...all the critics say Constantine doesn't develop young talent with his "system" .... lol.

... that he is even listed TWICE... LOL...

Of course, draft day could turn out much different for the players on this list.

Yes and undoubtly it probably will turn out much different. We still have final rankings to go.

The CHL prospect game will also shuffle guys around much like last year.

I see Potuer is listed by central scouting as a potential second rounder. I used to see him play bantam in Red Deer, but have not seen him play in the WHL. Although I've always thought he had potential, I'm still a little surprised to see him rated that high. My question to you Everett fans out there is..., how is his development, and what makes him attractive to central scouting?

I was also suprised to him listed as high as he was.

He is developing well here in Everett. He is getting regular playing time now and he is improving every game. He has put on weight and might have even grown a bit over the summer.

I thnk he's attractive to central scouting because of his size for one. Two I think there are scouts out there who see him as a "project" and would be willing to take a chance to "develop" him.
