I think Hall. Even though Seguin has pushed into first, I think Hall will retake it before seasons end.

From tsr draft preview

Take note that most scouting services will have Taylor Hall pegged as the top player available in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, the reality is that right now there really isn’t much separating some of the players at the top and they are essentially interchangeable.

Hall has been on NHL scouts radar for quite some time and really burst onto the scene with the Kingston Minor Midgets en route to being selected 2nd overall by the Windsor Spitfires in the 2007 OHL Priority Selection two seasons ago.

When you describe Hall’s game, the first word that comes to mind is explosive. Taylor Hall is an extremely good skater and has the ability to make things happen all on his own, very reminiscent of Pavel Bure in the mid 1990s. Hall is a very unique skater as he bends over almost at a 90 degree angle in his stride, but make no mistake, when he reaches his top speed there are very few that can catch him; and it doesn’t take him long to hit that high gear.

With that being said, there is some cause for concern in Hall’s game. He’s prone to making bad turnovers in transition, and sometimes he makes poor decisions with the puck in the offensive zone as well. While his plus/minus rating has been very solid the past two seasons, he is susceptible to being caught out of position, leading one to wonder how much playing for a strong Windsor club is sheltering some defensive concerns in his game.

This season will be a big one for Hall if he wants to be the first pick in 2010. Scouts will be looking for him to really break out offensively the way they expected him to last season. Hall has already showed that he can be a big time player in the playoffs, picking up both the OHL Playoffs and Memorial Cup MVP awards, but now is the time to show that he has the ability to put up big time numbers while proving that he isn’t a liability at the other end of the ice.

Seguin

Doesn’t matter who’s rated #1 at the end of the season.

Seguin is a legacy. He’s a lock if we have a shot at him. LOL!

Let’s put it this way. We’re bound to know him. And PK’s junior org thought enough of him to acquire him in the first place.

by Elsker on Nov 28, 2009 6:43 PM EST up reply actions  

He’s on everyone’s radar now, since Central Scouting rated him just ahead of Hall on the OHL list.

by Elsker on Nov 28, 2009 6:51 PM EST up reply actions  

anyone listening to WRAL/ – Mike is getting pretty worked up. No pregame interview because of conditions last night – is that because of the travel schedule or because no one was fit to speak on the record?

Also, Joni did not make the trip. It was the collision with Brandon that caused his issue, I think some folks were wondering if it was something that happened later, but ChuckandtheletterK referenced the collision as the cause.

It was in the first period, in front of our net. I’m not sure there would be anything in the PBP that would reference it. I took pictures at the time but I think I deleted them, so not exactly sure when.

Oh well that may have been part of it. I was at the other end of the ice and a very large man was sitting in front of me. I lost almost everything at that end of the ice.

Someone said he was playing himself into being too valuable to be traded. I now agree with them.

Cullen said he was extra motivated by the prospect of a trade. It was in his piece on NHL Live that was posted iin the fanshots by Iheartmasn.

A. WARD'S PENALTY

Brilliant hockey mind. Pinch in with all three forwards pounding the net; then after being beaten take a baby weak hooking penalty. That is why we have veterans, to show youngsters like Rodney — sort of, “Rodney, did you see that? never, ever, ever, do what Aaron Ward just did.”
