Who will have a better handle on the potential of a player,

20 yr old sitting at home watching a 5-10 college game on his 12 inch monitor

Or

Scouts that went to an actual game with the sole purpose of scouting said player
- Oilhab

Obviously when you're on place you get a better handle of the player, but unfortunately my budget and my sparetime is limited while I'm studying, so I have to do with webstreams.

Dude I have no alts, the only time I used one I had to borrow one to the newf

It is known.

Eric I've got a question for you.

How many times have you seen Pateryn play?

no problem.


in that case, i think pateryn will surprise alot of people and end up on the wing with plekanec and gionta.
- rob121

This statement seems backtrackish, is he ready or not?
- eihcnerf

engels says he's ready. q.p. says he isn't. therefore, he will play wing on the canadiens 2nd line.


what part of this don't you understand?

The Leafs drafted Pateryn - nuff said

And Vinny Damphousse

The disagreeing with QP analysis of a prospect part.

- QuebecPride

And EE has talked to scouts who have actually Scouted Pateryn.

Even though i'm sure you can intently follow his every move on your webstream, sometimes you have to just "take what is given to you"

MIRITE EE

where is this coming from? seriously? where do you get your info? I don't think you know anything about him.
- EricEngels

in any case, Pateryn is not likely to make the Habs out of camp for obvious reasons. but that doesn't mean he's not nhl-ready
- EricEngels

We don't have a huge amount of big physical NHL ready d-men. So if he is NHL ready he will make it.

no problem.

Haven't ever seen him play a full game. But I happen to be connected to real scouts, from teams that play in the National Hockey League--broadcast on real national television. And they tell me he could be in the league next season. For real.

no problem.

Hi rob.

Brendan Ranford invited to Montreal Canadiens training camp.

- EricEngels

Why? That is like 150 grand per game that he will play.
- Oilhab

He played 73 games last year, and has been shockingly durable throughout his career.

Also, the Habs sell $4.5M worth of beer every game.
