2009 Draft Picks


Its The Milk

Recommended Posts

I think this was a ballsy, yet good move. Young, big, powerful, and Rutherford likes him. All good signs of a positive future. How long until somebody gets on here and says "We should've taken Bill Guerin" or some crap like that. Let's hope he can help Staal out in a couple years.

I think for the most part the NHL drafts 1st round it a big crapshoot. The first few picks normally produce and play alot. Tavares and Hedman will play this year. Tavares with score 20 goals and Hedman will score about 20 points or so. Our guy this year could be good, I hope he is. History tells us he is a few years away. But sadly we have a rough history with 1st rounders. Outside of Staal, Ward and O'Neill none of our other 1st rounders have produced. Tanabe was always hurt. At least Andrew Ladd turned into Tuomo Rutuu. Jack Johnson never had a chance but he really hasnt been all that in LA. All that being said I think we wont see our boy till at least 2011. Boyhcuk, McBain and Bowman all have a chance to come up this year and make an impact. I still doubt youll see Sutter this year, he still needs more weight.

After going back and looking at the rankings and watching some clips, I'm beginning to like the Paradis pick, he had gotten up to 26th overall on some rankings. So I'll give Carolina a b+ on that draft.

I know the dude doesn't speak english on a regular basis but watching

made me feel bad for the guy.

So he has terrible english and coming to good ol' NC...god he will experience some culture shock. lol. But he likes country music, so I guess he can get used to bein here. But he seems like a stand up guy...from what I can understand of that video. <_<

    • Adding on to that - I know I read from some reporter that Dak Prescott's mentality is extremely fragile. Get in his head, and he loses focus and confidence. Per that reporter,  anytime a big game comes up, he starts to have the jitters and hasn't seem to overcome that slump. Dak would be an upgrade over Bryce as things currently stand. But Dak has not proven he can play in games that matters without choking. Bryce hasn't had the chance to show anything in the NFL, so nothing much to say there. But based on his history, he's done well in college in the national championship. Theoretically he should be more confident in big games if he gets to that point. For that alone, I'd rather keep rolling the dice on Bryce or set our sights higher. I wouldn't touch Dak with a 10 ft pole given his choking habits.
    • Same here brother, love Xavier I think he’s gonna become a quick fan favorite of the team. He already has gone viral for his country accent, we have no face of the franchise currently outside of maybe Derrick Brown in terms of media attention. I would not be surprised if in the next 4 years Xavier becomes that media darling we used to have in the 2010s with Luke, Cam, Josh Norman, CMC, etc.  
    • I haven't been high on any of the WRs we drafted in the past.   This kid though is someone I actually wanted. I have a feeling we finally hit big with this kid. I'm expecting him to be a DJ Moore caliber WR.
