i wish we could get malcom subban. i dont want to put all our chips in enroth's basket. - LizzyJo
Yea.....I also like this idea, I'm not sold on enroth and a little more goaltending depth would be a good thing. They should start stocking the cupboard. I don't see miller being here for more than a few more years and that's if he's not traded.

What about another interesting name: Goalie Malcolm Subban?
I had Malcolm Subban going to New Jersey at No. 29, but he's not in our top 60.
We don't like him. He's got a terrible, terrible glove hand. As athletic and acrobatic as he is, there are a lot of holes in his game. He over-commits on every play, he's terrible handling the puck behind his net and confuses his defensemen.
But I think he'll get picked in the first round.

On Girgensons (from the hockey news)
The Draft is often framed as an opportunity to nab the next superstar, but for many scouts, landing a safe roster player is just as satisfying.
Enter Girgensons, who may not have 100 point potential but entices nonetheless. "you've got yourself at least a solid thrid line center, every time you need a faceoff or a penalty kill," said one scout. "If a team is really hurting for players, he might be able to step right in after a year in Vermont."
The Latvian is committed to join the Catamounts, though Kelowna of the WHL has made brash predictions the big pivot will join the Rockets. He has already played three seasons in North America and came up huge for his home country at the WJC, where the minnow escaped relegation. Girgensons was a workhorse in Alberta and has really proven himself in the USHL.
"He's a beast, man, a beast," the scout said. "Just solid and strong. When he puts his shoulder down on the rush, he's difficult to stop."
Watch some videos on him and Grigorenko....amazing.......broke his jaw, came back out on the next shift and assisted on a goal.....called the Latvian Locomotive!!!
WOW! - RicoMartin
Yeah, and they're accurate about everyone they write about too.
