TimKerrFan12 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Anthony Mantha is a poor man's Mike Bossy, you cant have a whole team of grinders you need guys with skill to go with the bangers, remember Rick McLeish I watched Mantha this year and was not overly excited by him. I would be pissed if we took him with the 11th pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 @TimKerrFan12 Agreed, that is far to high to select Mantha there. If they really wanted him (and I'm not confident they do) you could move down 8-10 slots and still get him, and pick up a 2nd rounder to boot. This would be a poor hockey move though, gotta take the player at 11, it would be worth it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Call me crazy, but if Monahan somehow slips to 11 (and I don't think he will)...I'd still take Horvat over Monahan. Not a knock on Monahan, he does everything really well, just hink Horvat will be the better pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'd still take Horvat over Monahan.Really? Wow.Here's the question for Flyer fans: let' say Monahan does slip to 11, you have to know Homer is gonna take him as the most natural centre in the draft (ok MacKinnon's a pretty good centre) and as BPA likely.Cure the debate!

jammer2 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 @Podein25 Maybe it's just me, but when I see Monahan, he reminds me of Mike FIsher...he does everything well, but not many things great. I think he will be a good solid pro, but not a star. Horvat has star written all over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 @jammer2It's a good point you raise. Since he is such a safe bet, I expect him to go in that 6-10 range, while the projects, like Zadoraov, will slip a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
