The Sea Dogs picked Despres first overall then traded 2nd & 3rd rd. picks this year and a 1st next year to Quebec for Quebec's 1st and 2nd this year and then drafted Anthony. This could back fire as Anthony's father is a head case and Anthony never really impressed me that much, he has size but, seems to be lazy and if the Dogs falter again this year next year's pick could come back to haunt them.

SJ knows what Anthony is looking for.
They definitely have a pile of talented 16-17-18 year olds.

They are building an impressive team there.......as early as next year they could be great and the year after scary.

I think they got easily the best draft, getting the best d-man and the most skilled forward...plus some nice picks later on... Anthony and Despres can make an immediate impact, Anthony could put up 60+pts at 16. Kirkpatrick...can step in and play 2nd or 3rd line right away coming from Jr.A Langan has nice upside, he's more of a project but high ceiling offensively. Dunnett could be a steal in the 9th round in a weak year for goalies.

They have taken the slow and patient approach ... took their lumps ... and will be rewarded very soon. On the other hand, I'm not so sure that SJ's will be all that impressive in the next few years. They have been a very good expansion team ... but they don't seem to have any big name stars in their stable ... don't seem to be building toward anything big in a few years. Alot of SJ's early "success" has come because their expansion cousins have been comparitively weak ... they made the playoffs twice because SJ didn't ... they are tough to play at home because they built a tough team in year one ... last year they were a little more ordinary. Paiement has done a good job there to put a competitive product on the ice ... but they seemed to be more focussed on their present than they were on their future ... while SJ took the opposite approach. Two different teams ... two different rebuilding strategies.
