Michael DiPietro - G - Windsor Spitfires...

One of the riskiest decisions in the draft is surrounded around him due to the fact he is only six foot although he is a first rounder prospect in terms of his on ice play. Has great flexibility and spring to his down-to-up movement. Handles the puck with the best of them. Has soft pads to soak up shots and reduce rebounds, and stays square to shooters making them have to be perfect in their attempts. Tracks the puck really well, and quickly goes cross-crease with excellent push form post to post. A competitor with strong focus who gobbles up rebounds, and if he can’t stay with the puck, he can stop the second attempt. You have to wonder in the era of where teams think having a giant “statue” goaltender who is a big plug will be a deterrent form goals being scored, when will a guy this talented get picked, or even iF he does.

Ballsy picks so far

Quickness is the new thing, with the speed going up you don't need a 6'6" tender with poor lateral movement. Kid was lights out in the Memorial Cup.

Yes. Those are the types of UFAs we should be signing to short term deals even if we pay a little extra because they are perfecting for flipping at the deadline.

Was hoping Kasper Kotkansalo would still be available at 95. Redwings make another good pick.

Reilly Walsh would be my next choice.

Quick is a small goalie too and he is good. I really like the pick. Would have been okay with Petruzelli too.

Yes he was the MVP for them. He's no Bishop so agree on quickness. Good pick up but if he had a couple more inches would feel better for wing span you know. Anyway could be great back up for Demko.

Going much better today, which is nice to see. Too bad Benning can't pick 1st rounders.

Hmmm not bad. Was hoping Mattheos would slip down would have grabbed him in 3 round and tender with fourth but then again guess JB was keen on getting this talent of tender in the system.

Going by who #Canucks draft picks say they pattern their game after, VAN has picked up Backstrom, Forsberg, Backes, and Quick.

I like our picks this year. I don't mind Patterson over Glass, if he hits his ceiling will be what we need.
