Interested in what we’d get for Calgary pick, and #33.

Edit: yah, would be nice if Calgary bombed in first round.

USA had at least 10 players rated in the lottery the last few years , Cooley is probably the least talked about for a high lottery pick

CC, Boldy, Zegras , Knight etc... all had legit top line potential in discussions

Has anyone seen him play ?

L'espoir de la semaine avec Simon Boisvert

Simon Boisvert se penche sur l'espoir Logan Cooley pour sa chronique de la semaine.
919sports.ca 919sports.ca

Boisvert says,

-Good progression this year, consistent player.
-His best assets are his skating & hockey sense. Superb vision, great control of the puck, not scared of going to the dirty areas, good in all phases of the game.
-Doesn't think he has any "faults" to his game, but doesn't think he's elite in any way. Short of having off the ice issues or an injury derailing his career, he'd be very surprised if he doesn't have a long career in the league.

Thinks he's the most spectacular player in the draft, doesn't think he's a #1 on a contender, but probably a #2 on a contender.

*One last edit: He also has Cooley and Geekie ranked above Wright.

Simon Boisvert's an upside guy. Thinks Wright is a safe player that isn't going to be the best player in this draft.
 
Boisvert's reasoning with Geekie goes as follows: Thinks he'll be a monster center, a tough player to play against, will put up points...

...if Geekie can fix his skating. If doesn't fix his skating, probably won't be a great player. But if he does, watch out.

18 is old to be “fixing” your skating. No way do I take that chance.

Wright might not be the best player 5 years from now , but Habs have to take him at 1 if we win the lottery

I like Nemec as the top dog

Getzlaf couldnt skate for shit for 15 years but had elite vision and IQ

His WHL production isnt far off from Geekie

I dont see high end production , maybe a Dubois ceiling

Point was one of the few rookies to greatly improve his skating from junior , but its rare .
