Thanks for the note dude! My crappy attempt at humor re: Petrovic totally didn't work at 3am. My bad. But you're absolutely right — a lot of the guys I was sitting with thought he might end up a Duck at the bottom of the first round. Oh well.

Maybe he's around at 51. That'd be dope.

Few things I disagree with though..

I don't think Nelson really dropped, he was kind of in the early second range (along with Hayes). Coyle was considered a late first/early second too, not nearly the same surprise as Visentin (3rd/4th round).

I think Etem was absolutely a drop, never saw him going as low as 29. Central Scouting had him at 8, TSN had him at 17 and that was considered pretty low. Rankings are rankings and the draft is the draft though, so it's all pretty irrelevant at this point anyway.

Friend to Landon and Willie, Alex Petrovic isn't a Russian, just a good ol' western Canadian boy.

Good stuff though, looking forward to the interviews you can dig up on these guys. Maybe you can get near the Wings draft table and put in the good word for me ;).
