I've mostly seen him ranked from 20-30 but I would love the Flames to grab him at 22 or 28

fan960boomer Darnell Nurse has generated a lot of buzz here, not that he needed to. Very raw, but has the attitude and build you love in a player.

Who do you guys think will go first out of Hartman and Hagg? I'd like to get them both. Not sure I share the same opinon as Feaster though

That might be right. I only went by what the article I just read told me. An even higher jump if he's picked in the top ten then!

Buffalo has the 16th pick. He will likely go as high as that.

Didn't we draft Fata because he had "anNHL build"?

Pass.

Those players are not in any way alike. Horrible comparison.

Some scouts think Nurse could be that big, strong, mean, skilled top two defenceman that most teams lack.

I wouldn't have a problem with the Flames taking Nurse if they like him that much.

Sorry, should have been green text.

Edit
And if we got Nurse I wouldn't be all that upset either. He could help if the something special crowd up north ever get their legs under them.

Then new Weisbrod video is worth a watch.

"We didn't invite kids to Calgary for our mini combine because we already knew enough about them"

"It was easier this year trying get through the pre programmed player interviews and getting to the root of them. Some werent very good and some went better than expected"

With the question marks surrounding Nichushkin, I really hope he ends up in the Circus up north and they don't do something remarkably smart and pick up Monohan or Nurse or Lindholm.

Darren Haynes on the Fan960. Monahan is not an easy sell. The shadow of doubt for this young man is growing. I'd still be happy with him but theres more than one person expressing doubt about him.

Why wasn't the draft held today? A nice Saturday draft?

Is that too much to ask?

I get the feeling we will be taking Darnell nurse at 6.
