I read a few scouting reports on Ciona in his draft year that were very hard on his skating. One writer said that he would never come close to making it because of his speed. I watched him closely at camp, and I thought that while his skating needs a ton of work, I've seen plenty worse. He was drafted for his toughness and character, and that's represented by the "A" he wears for Seattle. I'm still betting he never plays an NHL game, though.

Jury is still out on Huckins, due to the mystery surrounding his mid-season banishment from the team, but he was having a real solid season (25 points in 28 games) before leaving. Mystery aside, the eye test says that Huckins is still the better player and prospect IMO.
