thanks mr French.

Im interested to see how Svechnikov's younger brother fairs...looks like they will both be future NHL players with some offensive flare.

Scary to think Andrei could top out at like 6'4. Only 16 and already 6'2.

Evgeny disappointed me this past season. I was hoping for a much more impressive season. Andrei is poised to be a much more dynamic player imo.

Says the guy who got to watch Provorov and soon Rubinchik.

Coincidentally. I hope Rubinchik, Hyman, Rubsoft and Clitsome can all get together sometime.

Nice blog Adam, enjoy reading up on the potential top draft picks. All wingers and 1G, part two will have defense?

Yeah. Provorov is stupid good.

Curious about this Aleksi Heponiemi kid. 0 points at the Hlinka tournament is concerning.

Can't even remember him in the tournament Just looking him up randomly seems to draw the conclusion that he isn't very good, but Swift Current knew he would move to them so they used their pick on him

Pretty much. That's the struggle here. Gotta grab guys who might actually show up and hope they turn into something. Got real (frank)ing lucky with Honka

Zadina is still 2 years away from being drafted. That's crazy.

Thanks Adam, glad to see you are back contributing some blogs.

I know the Canadians were a mess but what was your impression of Michael Rasmussen ?

Some are predicting a big season for him out west.

Rasmussen will be in the next blog tomorrow, but he was great and horrible. When he was on, he was a force. He was just too enigmatic to be a huge star at this tiny tournament. Massive potential and somebody we will be talking about in 2017 real soon.
