He'd be a nice 2nd round pick IMO, but he just doesn't have the top-end talent to take in round one...especially for a team lacking organization depth at forward. Others who follow these prospects closer could probably elaborate more.
I've seen Hertl to the pens in several mock drafts. He has size now, is tough with the puck and hard to push around. Good in the corners and strong on his skates. He'd be a better pickup by my value...but I'm also not a scout.
Best case scenario for me...Gaunce falls to the pens. Probably won't happen. Dumba, Koekkoek, Bozon, Pouliot, Frk, Kerdiles, Finn...I'd honestly take all of them before Scissons.

If this happens, you should change your screen name to Homer.

Thanks all & mikey287.
I don't blame ya on AA - he seems to be a love/hate kind of guys - shows glimpses, but consistency & lapses are troubling. How would ya like to see the Pens land in the 2nd?

Here's a question. A lot of people around here (myself included) really like Tim Bozon. He had outstanding numbers in his first WHL season and doesn't seem to have many weaknesses outside of typical defense. Why is he only now just moving up the ranks and why is his ETA so high when his transition to NA hockey seemed effortless?

With Bozon, I question a little bit of his attitude and maturity level sometimes. Both from watching him and things that are suggested to me by others more familiar with him. I question his distribution abilities a bit. He brings an inconsistent level of play overall...some games he's all in it offensively (but nothing else), sometimes he's in it physically and on the forecheck and trying make hits (but nothing else)...I'm not sure how many times this year (honestly, because I certainly haven't viewed him 70 times) he's really put together a "complete" game much less consistently.
He's good though, I understand the questions about him...why isn't he considered a ~20 guy...I'm not sure if I have a full answer for that either to be honest.
