No D is an exaggeration, lack of depth is more accurate. They now have a SICK top 3.

I fucking love the Biggs and Home boi Percy selections. GO LEAFS GO!

[Nick]

Love the Biggs selection, not so sure on Percy (especially with Saad on the board).

[Scott]

Definitely a fan of the Biggs pick but even more so the Percy selection. I watched him a ton this year and he's a very solid defenseman and imo, the sky's the limit in terms of potential there. A diligent worker, already exceptional defensively, and is very capable with the puck on his stick. A little bit of a reach some may say, but I doubt in a few years looking back people will be saying that.

You will like him, I've had the pleasure of watching him quite a bit as he plays in my backyard. As all of the reports have indicated, Stuart has tons and tons of hockey IQ, so much so that I wouldn't rule out the offensive potential of him moving forward.

[Robin Hood]

for the record, kareem had the most picks right by correctly predicting the top 5. after that it fell apart lol. but next best was 4 right also in the top 4.

[hong57]

i like the fuck off from the SJS part lol... the mics are good

I don't really like either Leaf picks.

Pumped BBKL-wise that Jurco went to Detroit.

[Robin Hood]

I don't really like either Leaf picks.

why?

Another Czech/Slovak player in the 2nd round for the Wings...Hudler (2002) and Tatar (2009). The Wings snag a couple CHL defensemen with their other two picks in the 2nd round alos.

[Shep]

I don't really like either Leaf picks.

why?

Because I don't like the upside of either player, especially Biggs.

[Nick]

He's a BIGG kid with interesting foot-speed, reasonable shot and serious ability to play the PF game. Captain who scored back to back OT winning goals versus canada (u-17 & u-18).

[Shep]

Tvrdon AND Jurco to the Wings?

Looks like I have the next Datsyuk and Zetterberg, from different countries, on my hands

Håkan Andersson = Me ..

From what I understand the shot is more than "reasonable", both HP and RLR listed Biggs as having a very quick release with strong velocity, and the ability to get it off in traffic. Various other US based blogs have observed the same. The accuracy may be the weakness though.

One unnamed Western scout, defined Tyler Biggs as someone who will only continue to improve. Which is certainly exciting too.

[Shep]

Oh I want him to continue to develop and dominate. I WANT to get "I told you so" I just am not huge on Biggs.
