Yah I had a vote going, but realized after it might be rain on his parade. Congrats to Alex.

Too bad he didn't get to the Leafs though because I know that's where he had really hoped to go in his heart: to his favorite team, staying close to his parents, staying in Canada, etc...

But hey, the NHL is the NHL (err, more or less)

central scouting's ej mcguire described petro as a "project" albeit a valuable one
saying he cant make the jump this year - will need another year in O, with some world juniors experience... etc. etc.
thoughts?

Ya, McGuire is a blow hard!!!!

By his count the first 12 players are studs and will lace up for an NHL team this season. Hell 2 will be lucky to suit up.

Doughty can make the jump and Petro cannot, bull. Listen if Johnson and Staal cannot make the jump none of this years selection will.

Just wait and see Petro will be the best of this group.
