Conroy's thoughts on potential 1st rounders:
Merkley
- saw 2 or 3 games were he just took over games
- 2nd game he saw he set the tone, was physical and making plays
- not a big guy
- everytime he is on the ice he just asserts himself
- playmaking and passing are strenghts
- question mark is his skating but some people say his skating is fine
- competetive will and drive is not going to hurt him
Bittner
- has a NHL shot
- got to love his skill - one thing that stands out
- he is in front of the net on the PP
- not saying he is Jeff Carter, but you can see similarities
- big and skates well and great hands
Meier
- big guy that can score and make plays
- swiss guy that can be physical - wont fight
- finishes checks
- skates well
- at Top Prospect game he really stood out
Konecny
- everytime he goes to watch him he scores two goals
- saw him play against Barrie and just runs over their leading scorer
- he brings that kind of physical presence
- skill and shot
- will to win. you can tell he has a high level of compete.
