@nevertweet015 Hishon going to be 20 years old, 5'10'' and still weighs 180 pounds, not possible to play wing. I really like Larsson with a # 2, But we need a power forward Lando, Huberdeau, Couturier, Strome seem forwards much better than Armia, pray a lot to drop one of the top 8 for # 11. Larsson in this year, and Yakupov or Frk in 2012 would be great =]. Sorry my bad English. =P
(I have a dream: Lando goes to #11 haiUHAiuHAIUoh)
@nevertweet015 Good point, certainly we need size and power too … I hope a good shot at #11, I think the Zibanejad would be a good choice too, Larsson + Zibanejad would make me happy. What do you think?
@nevertweet015 hey im from vancouver so im a nucks fan, but i've been watching colorado closely through this rebuild (if you'd call it that) and Im really pulling for you guys. I think you'll turn it around in a few years. and this draft is a fantastic oppurtunity, you basically get 2 top 10 picks. i would love to see you take landeskog, but, isn't defence you're biggest weakness? i got the impression that's why anderson left. so what do you think of Larson and Saad? he used to be ranked so high
@nevertweet015 i think goaltending will sort itself out once you sort out defence – goalies will want to play for you and whoever you use will have good stats.
i've been thinking about it – you can't go wrong with Armia at 11, power winger can open up space- but the more i think about it, the more i think you should take Bartschi. i think hes gonna be a star. he doesnt give you the size that you will need in a bit when you're making the playoffs, but you get Duchene a really good partner.
@nevertweet015 good points, i like Jurco and apparently he's really dedicated (and imo thats the most important thing in a prospect – you can't teach heart). likewise i read that Baertschi practices in the gym long after the team practice is over, they eventually have to kick him out lol & i had Mcniell going in the top 12 cus of obvious skill,size etc.
but i changed my pick – i think Baertschi will be great, but Armia may be better. he's a scoring machine, and he'll probably only get better.
Gabriel Landeskog, one hell of a hockey player, that's for sure. I can't believe that I went to the same school as he did in Sweden, mindblowing really. I'm hoping that he is going to become one of the all-time greatest, someone you can compare with Peter Forsberg.
If the Devils don't choose Couturier at #4, I wouldn't mind Landeskog being on the team. I mean, as a Devils fan I am looking for someone who could make an immediate impact on the team.
this guy is good, but hes too much like Mike richards. not that i wouldnt like richards on my team, but at second overall he should have more offensive ability. I personally think the Avs would have been better off taking Mika Zibanejad, Ottawas first rounder at 6th overall. he hits too but scores more frequently
@SXLePiC zibanejad only had 5 goals in the SEL league while Landeskog had 36 goals in the chl and he could've had 50 if he didnt injure his ankle. I think we picked Landeskog to replace the spot stewart filled.
I still can't get over how well this guy speaks English. English is my first and only language and if you put us up against each other and said okay one of these guys speaks English natively and the other one doesn't I guarantee you'd pick him to be the native English speaker. Must be a real sharp fella. But I have noticed a lot of Swedes speak perfect English.

@Hurley474 Why do you even like Larsson?
#2 Gabriel Landeskog YEAH- #11 Beaulieu YEAH , or Siemens Very Good (A-)
#2 Adam Larsson YEAH- and #11 Puempel or Armia … NO WAY !
we have Stefan Elliot, Barrie D prospects…
Landeskog – Duchene – Hejduk -> ATOMIC BOMB is coming
My Top 5 Draft Predictions:
#1 Nugent Hopkins – Oilers
#2 Landerskog – Avalanche
#3 Larsson – Panthers
#4 Couturier – Devils
#5 Huberdeau – Islanders
@Hurley474 "Defense wins championships" hmmm, as a Devil fan I heard that was the reason why every team and fanbase hates us?
@nevertweet015 We don't have decent foward prospects =/

Colorado better take him or i'm gonna be pissed

He is going to thrive in the NHL, doubtless.

he was in my class i was going to ask him out! CONGRATS GABE
Welcome to the Avs
Please be the second coming of Forsberg. Without the glass ankles.
@gregsarchet haha made my day xD but Forsberg took alot of bad hits not he's fault:(

I also snagged him as my second last pick in my pool…hoping for a calder performance 😀
kids got a head on those beast shoulders… great career ahead of him
So glad Colorado got him and not Edmonton.
Gabriel Landeskog is the best name i've ever heard. Say it a few times, you'll see what I mean.
I still can't get over how well this guy speaks English.

Red Wings fan here but I have to say that this kid has to be on of my top 10 favorite players already.
Proud Swedish.
are you some kind of wizard O_O
thats witchcraft… telling the future!
Why go from rangers too Colorado Anybody knows why
Boy was he right, he became the youngest captain on any NHL team ever.
