JVR 2-6...Shattenkirk 15-25....Cohen,Tangradi, Brennan 40-80 these three could be in any order ....swick 150-end Murray's a great goalie but 19 I believe Digirolamo also real good but also 19 I think. Cullen and Mckiernan I don't know but I will be pulling for them. No matter what this should be the best draft to date for the Atlantic District.Let's hope for more of the same in the future.

i posted that 2 weeks ago. no ohl team will take an american in the 4th round if their not going to sign him.......bobby sanguinetti. unless they are an elite player, like jeremy morin, who is considering ncaa, and they are taking a chance they will sign him. hostetter will be playing for erie, and should get alot of time, because they were awful last year.

I believe that James van Riemsdyk may even go as high as top 3. NIce kid and had a great year. Everything else is up in the air. Did anyone else hear of anything regarding the draft after the combines?

jvr had the highest bench (150 lbs, 11 times) all the ntdp kids will be in the best shape. kane looked good. cherepanov puked in the garbage can a few times.

im hoping jvr or turris goes 1st, so the flyers can take kane. kane is number 1 on the flyers list, and mine also. they also like jvr alot too though. if kane goes 1, the flyers will probably take jvr at 2. i dont think their as high on turris, cherepanov, voracek, alzner, etc, as they are on kane and jvr.

I'm about 100% sure the Flyers will pick Kyle Turris if they keep the #2 pick in the draft. They just signed Jack McIlhargey as an assistant coach and he is from Burnaby just outside of Vancouver, the same place that Kyle is from.

brennan, tangradi, jvr, shattenkirk, sanguinetti, popko all local players that were invited to the usa world junior evaluation camp.

do the kids that are on the NTpd team all go tothis also? what are the chances of someone outside that team making this team?

Do you mean 250lbs, 11 times? I think Kevin Durant can do 150, 11 times.

no not at all, theres quite a few ntdp guys that didnt even get a tryout. i would say 1/3 to 1/2 the team are guys that once played with the ntdp.

no, 150 lbs. which isnt that much weight........how many 17-18 year olds do you know that bench 250lbs? because i dont know too many.

btw, tony romano from the ny bobcats and cornell just signed with the london knights, huge pick up for them.

Saw romano play when he was with the bobcats. He is quick and can score. I think he was a 6th round pick of the devils, but not sure. If he is interested in the NHL , then its a good move for him. He had a good year at cornell.

I agree. As far as 17-18 year olds. 150lbs 11+ times is good. Remember these are hockey players not football players. They work much harder on legs and core. Football players are much too bulky for the game of hockey and if a hockey player gets top heavy they seem to lose everything.

teams want to see if a player has any physical problems , they know they can make them stronger. I think 98% of the decision on a player is made before the combine. It is just a place to see if there are any physical or personality problems/issues that might effect a kid later.

These kids are great athletes, under the proper training and guidance, they will get stronger. What they did at the combine can't mean that much.

Congrats to all the parents & coaches who have been involved with the young men being drafted this year. However, it is more important to congratulate the young men who were selected in the 1st round. This area should be so proud of all the young men who are drafted this year. We had a great first round as a national program and hopefully an even better remainder of the draft. Matt & his cronies help this process through their different programs/ scouting reports/ honesty with everyone involved in "the process".

Hopefully the NHL teams will overlook the fact that Colby was coached by a bunch of degenerates led by Dave Cook.

TJ Brennan picked 31st by Buffalo
Eric Tangredi picked 42nd by Anaheim
Colby Cohen picked 45th by Colorodo

all three local buys picked in 2nd round

Did anyone see the "highlight tape" of Cohen on the NHL website?
reactions?
