De Haan seems like a nice guy and I am sure he has talent. I have a hard time justifying passing on Kulikoff for him though. The Isle scouts think they have a gem in De Haan. I hope they are right...but we need bigger guys on the blueline.
i honestly think the islanders made a great pick with de haan at #12. although they prob. could have gotten him later. he reminds me of montreal's andrei markov, a legit #1 defenceman. good hockey IQ, good skater, smooth under pressure but no mean streak. played for team canada on the #1 pairing and hockey canada loves him for a reason!
Dmitry Kulikov Nick Leddy David Rundblad John Moore. Why did they bother moving up to draft a guy that would have went after all of these offensive defencman? Was Garth Snow uncomfortable with so many picks and felt the need to throw one away? He is too small and lacks desire to reach the NHL level. He has great vision but when he is smashed into the boards by the player that was drafted after him in Zach Kassian and finds himself in pieces and seeing stars the vision starts to go. Last Place!
He's pure trash. He will be fast tracked and fail then become a career ahl'er. He's too soft and the ONLY reason he was taken is cause he played with Tavarez in Oshawa which makes no sense what so ever.
no way hes not supposed to be a big defenseman hes a mark streit type blue line puck moving defenseman and he needs time to develop I promise you that he makes it in the nhl.
regardless where we finished, it has nothing to do with what you said about us picking de Haan bc he played with Tavares.....if that was the case, those scouts wouldnt have a job at this point.....fact is many ppl anticipate him to be a great number one d-man in a few years.
Hahhaa. He's a cocky. I like it. Though I kinda feel like it would be too easy for other guys to get into his head. "Hey there little guy, how's it going?"
Steve, are you in school for journalism? The reason I ask is I am in journalism at U.P.E.I and planning on being a sports journalist. keep up the good work man!
Btw, nice work, Steve. I have been enjoying your vids for a while and i think you have a real future in journalism if you think that is the path you would like to take. Congrats on the interview. The Holland and Werek ones were awesome as well. Keep up the good work. Tristo
Steve! I love these interviews. Are you gonna be in Montreal for the draft by any chance? I got a gig there! I'm in a tournament in the parking lot. From what I hear they are making a rink right outside the Bell Center. I have no idea why we are there yet, but I'm going to be able to meet the prospects! Gahhh!!
