Pats Off Season 2015

Did you guys see the blades haven't had a first round pick for the last 4 years?!

I'm pretty sure it's accurate. Wasn't Owen tiny when he was that age too?? Either way, I was pretty sure the Pats were going to end up drafting him, just didn't think this soon, but then again, it IS the 6th round...lol. I'm sure he's got some decent growing to do yet, but when I was looking into him earlier on this year, I gathered that he was pretty skilled and better than Owen. Here's to hoping he's the next Eberle!

I thought the same thing! Thinking back on it it's completely true, but forgot just how bad it was there! Things look pretty good for them this year though.

not a misprint. Mike is not a huge guy. Owen was a late grower and I would imagine that Lukas will be one as well.

Lukas is really skilled. I think this is a good pick.

Just searched Owen Sillinger from his draft year when he was picked in the 10th round by the Giants he was listed as 5'2 109lbs he is now 5'9 160 at age 17....

If Lukas can have a 7inch growth spurt in 2-3yrs that will put him at 5'11.... here's hoping to that

its been a long time since the Blades have had a 1st round pick, the last time they picked in the 1st round was in 2010 where they selected Tim McGauley who was later traded to BRN in the Schenn deal.

In 2009 they selected Ryan Olsen who they traded to KEL after his 17yr old season.

The last 1st round pick to play his entire junior career in Saskatoon was in 2008 when Duncan Siemens was picked by the Blades.

So if you look back that is 7yrs worth for 1st round picks the Blades have traded in a row. Not a great way to run a junior franchise and they are suffering for it now.

Wow the Hitmen got a steal today in a trade... they traded for the rights to Andrew Fyten (who was Elmer's teammate at Edge Hockey School) for a conditional 6th rd pick in 2016.... Fyten had 22g22a in 62gp, Im thinking EVT couldn't get him to commit to the WHL but if the Hitmen can get him signed since he is a AB boy that's a steal for them

Really!! They may have as well given him for nothing. IMO that is far too weak of a return. This guy can actually play and a 10th rounder is more or less a laugher.

Sometimes it is about the kid.

Zimmer doesn't fit into the future plans. Way too many kids that are younger and have a better up side.

Good on Paddock for finding him a home so that he can play in the WHL.
