Sleeper picks in the draft

[MidgetAAA]

Joshua Lazowski Forward 14-Mar-91 5' 6 140lbs,-Small but fast and shifty and has a ton of skill He led the AMBHL in scoring in 34 games he had 56G 62A the most points ever in the AMBHL.


Jonas Lopushinsky D-Man 03/04/1991 6"0 145lbs-Good skater see the game real well on weakness is physical play.

Jeff Pelleteir Goalie 13/3/1991 6"1 170lbs- Good rebound control talks to his dman well but is slower side to side and has a so so 5 hole

Justin Rose Forward 10/02/1991 5'6 144lbs-Again another fast and very skilled guy but the knock on him is his size.

Rodger Craig Forward 04/02/1991 6'2 162lbs-A very strong player who has all the tools to be a power forward in the WHL he just lacks consistency


Killian Hutt Forward 4/13/1991 5'7 155lbs-No one was even looking at this guy untill the last half of the season when he really turned it on and then had a great alberta cup to top it off.he lacks size but has heart.


Adam Beller Forward 01/04/1991 6'4 210lbs-This guy could be a force in the Whl he is just a monster on the ice he had 18G 25A this year.His big draw back is lack of heart and can be lazy at times.

Bronson Maschmeyer D-man 29/04/1991 5'8 160lbs-He was named the top d-man in the AMBHL,has a lot of skill great shot but lacks vision at times,has said allready that he would like to go the NCAA way so teams might stay away from him.

The Blades are looking for guys with heart so they could be looking at Hutt who u describe as being that type of player. Where do you think he'll go in the drafT?

[MidgetAAA]

Hutt should go in the later rounds 5th or later,Like i said no one was looking at him till after christmas when he turned it on and he had a great Alberta Cup.He Finnished the year with 28G 30A

One thing I love about the W, always a few guys that come out of no where to be stars, and just as many "next ones" that never go anywhere.

That whole too small thing is starting to be a thing of the past. In previous drafts in the later rounds you would see project big size guys, these days i know you will be seeing alot of smaller players taken just dew to the new perception on how to play the game.

[Trav]

Always have a couple first round busts in the way of they dont do as well as like the mid rounders. Look at Brennan Bosch for example. He was a 10th round pick in 03. Scored close to 10 goals this year as a 17, should only get better next season.

I'm hoping the Blades pick some smaller players this year. Last year, there was only one or two out of 12-13 players that were under 6'0. Most were 6'2 and bigger including 6'6 Kevin Philip from BC I think he's from. Saw him at training camp last year, that guy can play hockey. He's not like a goon or anything, he looks like an all around player. Maybe u guys in BC have seen him play this year. Probably wont make the team as a 16 yr old next season but they're expecting him here in 07-08.
