Let's hope they are able to draft some future goal scorers as it is apparent that is what is lacking this year, although that won't help us for about two years from now.

You'd be better off taking Vey instead of the kid from P.A.

what does one have over the other ? i have never seen either play

what does one have over the other ? i have never seen either play

The both skate very well.Vey has better game sense,and is a sniper.Vey has good passing and skating skills and backchecks helping out in the defensive zone.Norton does play the body more,but upon playing the body,sometimes finds himself out of the play or turning the puck over.Although both are having good seasons with their respected teams,Vey does lead the league in scoring by a ton.As for size..I'm not sure what they weight in at or how tall they are.

Vey has 42 goals and 40 assists in 20 games (first in the league) for Naicam who is 11-7-2 good for 6th place.Brant Henry-Norton has 15 goals and 25 assists and 61 PIM in 18 games played for the 2nd place Pirates.

(im a little bitter today....lol)

Understandably so.Anholt I think,will be gone if the Raiders miss the playoffs..and for some,they hope they miss the playoffs so he will be canned.What are your opinions regarding the status of the coaching staff?

I sit not too far from the Raiders bench,and Anholts methods of motivating his players are wrong.Kicking your players in the a$$ and yelling at them telling them that their all crap,that is no way to get respect from your players.Putting fear into your players does not work I'm sorry.No wonder they don't want to play for you Anholt..they are only playing for the fans..they could now care less about you Peter.Putting them down in the paper doesn't help either.Just my opinion.

I agree with you, whatever he is doing is not working. Something must be done. We need to start scoring some goals. With all of the talent we have, we should be scoring goals.

I really don't think we can sit here and blame anholt, at the awards banquet the other night they said they won't blame anyone but things will have to change. this year the expectations were set so high from a long playoff run last year. I'm glad we picked up deckert i think he gave us a chance at winning. I think size could be an issue (hellyer, doucet, dowhay) might want a couple more bigger skilled forwards. what you guys think about the schedule this year, do you think it might have played a factor in it. I guess i'm tired of hearing people compare the minto's to the raiders, I think the minto's are on a great run and its exciting hockey but people have to be realistic. for example brandon seems to have a strong team year after year i think our drafting needs to adjusted. well there is my little rant oyeah we need to get rid of drew wilson.

Good points. I agree the scouting system needs to be looked at. I'm starting to think next year won't be as bad as everyone thinks. The Blades on the otherhand, will have their hands full. I hope CKBI sends Wilson for some special training this summer. He sure is tough to listen to.

i'm not saying anyone on these boards but i have heard at work and around cause the raiders didn't make the playoffs and how the minto's are doing so good. why would you want to watch the raiders when you have the minto's .damm i didn't know that there was so many band wagon jumpers in this city

i think it is simply that nobody knew how entertaining midget aaa could be. i know i didnt. and with no other live hockey it give raider fans a chance to see some live hockey and open them up to it. nobody is bailing on the raiders they are just very impressed with the mintos. they are well coached also, perhaps tim leonard could be a future raider bench boss ???

so we are hoping we win the lottery and get #2
we are also hoping kamloops doesnt win
if spokane chilliwack or red deer win the lottery we get # 4
if we win its # 2
if kamloops wins its # 5 for us
# 2 would be nice , but # 4 is the most likely

if anybody knows what picks were dealt or aquired please post

well i guess he choose not to play for any team in the dub, but i mean if the raiders were memorial cup contenders and they traded for his rights and he was coming back to the dub he wouldn't play. imagine the exposure he would get im just using an example. he is stupid to limit himself thats all im saying

Hopefully O'Brien/Clark or whoever makes the final decision on draft day, picks a can't miss prospect. You think with the #4 overall pick, we will end up with someone special. Right? I realize Depape was a 4th overall pick and struggled this year. IMO, he still has potential to be a power forward in this league. Hopefully he will train hard all summer and will come back and have a banner year next season. For some reason, I remember PA picking Dylan Kemp 4th overall one year. Anyone remember Kemp? He shouldn't have even being playing SJ. Brutal pick by PA back then. I think Greg Watson was a 4th overall pick as well. PA needs a strong showing in the draft and by drafting 4th overall, hopefully they draft someone who will be a blue-chip prospect in this league.

I agree.T.C refuses to deal his rights,so that no other team will have him.Junior hockey would be a better step to the NHL than the College route for anyone,especially Jonathan.

i remember kemp. his problems werent hockey related they were off ice. he had all the talent needed and at the time was a good pick, drafting isnt a exact science either (aka daigle over pronger steve kelly over iginla, pat falloon over scott neidermeir). there will always be busts, and there will always be sleepers, we can complaun all we want about the first rounders but look at some of the late round steals, shafer (i know i know but we got 4 years out of him) 9th round, may 7th round, peet in the tenth round, grant mcneill in the 6th round. there is some good talent to be had at #4 but it will be intersting to see who we get . any predictions on who might be the best availablble at # 4

ISS SPOTLIGHT: Ryan Howse
ISS Scout: D. Caputo
This speedy center is a naturally gifted offensively player. At 5'11 Ryan plays a well-rounded style who creates offensive chances, battles in the corners and is responsible defensively. Plays on a weak team that relies on Howse for the majority of the offense. He demonstrates tenacity on the forcheck and often creates turnovers that result in offensive chances. His innate ability to see the ice, make plays look simple and score the "big goal" make him a highly-touted prospect. Was named Medicine Hat tournament All-Star forward and also played in the all-star game (in our opinion should have been Tourney MVP). Scored some big goals including an overtime winner vs Red Deer. Is a blue chip prospect that will go in the top 10 in the WHL draft. Needs to get stronger but that will come naturally with maturity.

. Spokane Chiefs - James Bettauer - Exceptional speed and grit with a deceptive shot. Watch out for him at KIBHIT.

2. Red Deer Rebels - Jared Cowen - Big stay-at-home defenceman with great offensive capability

3. Chiliwack Bruins - Ryan Howse - Sensational game-breaker. Future DUB goal scoring leader

4. Prince Albert Raiders - Cole Penner - All the tools for a successful DUB career.

5. Kamloops Blazers - Jesse Gray - Great team leader and great attitude. The perfect role player.

Hon. Mention:

* Daniel J. Merth - Great role model for young kids. A young Trevor Linden.

* Chuck DayChief - Great skater with exceptional hands. Must work on his physical play.

* Kyle Rademaker - Big hitter, great hands, A guy you always want out there in key situations

* Tyler Urry - Great positional goaltender with above average puck handling skills. Best goalie in this years draft. Was on the all star team in Medicine Hat. Get's his nose to the grindstone when times are tough. Great leader. Little on the chunky side. Could see this kid as next great DUB goalie. Any comment on this kid because he's a great guy in more than one way.

Yeah he's a scorer. Slipped as the season went on. Don't think PA will draft him. As we all know, PA likes drafting power forwards that they hope will develop. Sounds like they are interested in this kid named Jason Gardiner from Winnipeg. Another Manitoba kid, go figure. Gardiner could be the best pick of the draft or a bust. Sounds about right, Clark and the boys gambling with their first pick and hoping they develop down the road. Draft day will be interesting. Can't wait to see how it unfolds starting with Spokane and Cowen.

Yeah trades can be made. Remember a few years ago when PA had the #1 overall pick and they traded it to Vancouver for the 3rd overall pick and a third round pick. Turns out it was Brule for Gauthier and Jordan Morgan. I wonder if Clark still thinks about that one. I'm not sure why they didn't want to draft Brule. Maybe he didn't want to come to PA. I'm not sure if roster players can be traded on draft day due to the fact that there are still 2 teams playing. Anyone else who can clarify this?

It Doesnt Matter To Me There Is 7 Good Forwards I Just Hope They Dont Go For The Powerforward Type.... Again..lol

Lol!! I agree 100%. I read on Hockey Scouting a few days ago that PA had been spending a lot time with this Jason Gardiner kid. Another power forward who may turn out to be a great prospect or a total bust. I hope they take a safe pick and not some kid who they hope will develop down the road. With the 4th overall pick PA should be getting a high-end prospect.

Maybe he's refering to Steph Vigier who's 5 ft 8 in and 150 lbs. Most of the boys they draft have size and maybe not enough skill. However, with the guys coming up, I think they have a good combination of size and skill.

Hockey Scouting had Henry-Norton rated for the 4th round 71st overall.

Penner was listed as 12th overall and Button was rated 20th overall.
Herrod was rated for the 3rd round at 62nd overall.

From everything I read on Button, he was a great pick for PA in the second round. Probably should have been a first round pick.

Another local picked by Medicine Hat is Tyson Newell April 17, 1991 D Prince Albert, SK.

Raiders just drafted local product Josh Dueck June 1, 1991 D Prince Albert, SK.

Dueck had 4 goals and 11 assists for 15 pts and 30 PIM.He was Newell's defence partner and basically is a carbon copy of Newell.Josh plays like Nick Schultz.
