HockeysFuture prospect ratings: Robbie Schremp 9.0 Kyle Chipchura 7.0 No comment! I could be wrong, but Pavel Brendl also got a 9 or even a 9.5 a few years ago. You never know... |

HockeysFuture prospect ratings: Robbie Schremp 9.0 Kyle Chipchura 7.0 No comment! Hum... no. The ratings are: Robbie Schremp 9.0 C Kyle Chipchura 7.0 A Meaning that Robbie has a very high upside, but is unlikely to ever reach it because of maturity issues, while Chipchura is a blue-chip WYSIWYG second or third liner. Exactly has advertised prior to the draft. |

Exactly has advertised prior to the draft. One of my previous comments was I'm glad Gainey is GM and not me. I would have picked Schremp over Chipchura and already I agree with Gainey that Chips is the better pick. I'm big on hard choosing hard work over talent and performance over unfulfilled promise. |

Exactly has advertised prior to the draft. Quite right. Also, these two guys were rated by different people, so it's difficult to compare their ratings. |

I'm big on hard choosing hard work over talent and performance over unfulfilled promise. On the other hand, we made the exact opposite choice the year before by picking Kostsitsyn, another high risk high reward prospect (but for different reasons than Schremp). I guess the strategy is to alternate. Something you win, and something you lose. I agree about the Gainey comment: I can imagine the kind of stress he had to endure when he made the Kovalev trade, for example. |

But Gainey knew what he was doing when he made the trade. Is any potbellied would-be GM actually questioning his judgment?

Hey, I still fit into my size 34's, and nothing hangs over my belt. In fact if I cinch up the belt just a little, I'm sure those 32's would work out somehow. My thongs on the other hand.......

The people who write a lot of these articles and rate players are hardly experts. I know a guy who used to write stuff for them. He's pretty knowledgeable about prospects and tends to draft a few gems in fantasy pools but then again he also drafts the Mike Mottau's of the world. A lot of these guys aren't so different from you or I. I take all their info with a grain of salt.

Go easy on the guy! Mike Mottau was only a #182 pick, and he did play a few games in the NHL. I see that Petr Chvojka was a #182 pick by the Habs in 2000. Ever hear about him?

Plenty, he's almost as famous as Chris Dyment, and could easily have started the famed Dyment Thread, when AS renounced rights on him, just a year after he was drafted, whereas normally you have 2 years to sign a player after drafting him. |
