I am curious as to know how many Q league players you think will be picked in the first round of the NHL draft this Saturday.

crosby, bourret, bourdon, latendresse and bergfors (if you count him, i will since he'll be in st. john's next year)
they should all be sure bets for the 1st round.
guys that could potentially slip in late in the 1st: trukhno, zagrapan, vincent, levasseur
i'll say one of those guys slips in (trukhno).
that makes 6.

Since you counted Bergfors do you count Pavalec?

if he has confirmed to report to CB then yes i would count him too. i haven't heard anything about him yet which is why i left him out. IMO he'd be one of those 'on the bubble' guys though.

I counted 5 - Bourdon, Bourret, Latendresse, Zagrapan and .... let me think, there was another one..... oh yes, Crosby.

I did the same thing, except I think I may have voted for 4...I forgot about Crosby

far cry from the 7 Billy predicted at Christmas.. including 3 top tens
face it boys the Q will never have a bunch of first rounders.. this was widely considered to be among the best NHL draft eligible crops the Q has produced and they still only had 2 top tens and 4 first rounders
can't count Bergfors since he is drafted before he sets foot on the ice in the league

man, latendresse fell quicker than mike ribeiro in the playoffs. and fittingly enough he ended up in montreal i was also a little shocked to see zagrapan taken so early, even before bourret. buffalo must really like his upside. what potatoes says is true though. size is the ultimate overrated aspect of pro hockey bar none and it puts the Q at a big disadvantage. apparently nhl teams would rather have a 6'700" player who can't even tie his own skates, rather than a 5'10" speedster who could prolly put up 20 goals. ah it will never change, so meh.... at least we get to see our players a little while longer
