Triumph Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 You win some, you lose some.. Kadeykin and Ahonen look like wins, Suglobov and Foster look like losses.. all 4 were off the board reaches by the Devils scouting staff.. good find IG, I never go to HF anymore because back in 2001 the Devils editor never updated.. now it looks like he has good solid info on everyone.

insanity_gallops Posted December 18, 2002 Author Share Posted December 18, 2002 I still don't think Foster's a loss yet. Devils are being cautious with him. They wouldn't want to act drastically and rush him into playing just because they want to see what he's capable of. If they're smart, they'll let clear him to play only when he's good and ready. I think Kadeykin is going to be a beast in the next few years. Obviously, Martin & Hale & DeMarchi should be solid. If Pihlman keeps improving, he'll be a great addition in a few years. ...ok I'll spare everyone my assessment of every prospect listed in this article. BUT the ones that look most disappointing to me (not busts, necessarily) are Suglobov and Rupp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Rupp is an Islander draft bust though, correct? -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
