Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

"I'm hearing that McPhee and Co. have some interest in Landon Ferraro, who is among the players interviewed by the Caps, a league source told me moments ago. A right wing from Red Deer of the WHL and the son of former NHLer Ray Ferraro, he's also one of the fastest players in the draft and he's a shooter. A number of people I've talked to suggest that the younger Ferraro could eventually give the Caps the scoring threat from the right side they lack in the system right now."

Not interested unless he has a twin brother we can also have on the team.

And unrelated,
Aren’t the Caps already leading the league in “son of/younger brother of” prospects?

…and his headfakes. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Ferraro rated/slated right around where we pick? I say herring

I don’t know about herring because it wouldn’t be a shock no matter what. When you’re picking when the Capitals are you’re looking at a dozen different guys, if not more.

By default, I simply associate a TEB linkage to our FO’s thoughts on the draft as nothing more than idle prattle. Can you blame me?

sounds to me like he’s interested in anyone but ferraro. :-)

Pretty much – from Tarik’s comments, it sounded to me like he might be willing to package up a pick or two to get a player for next year’s team, which would make sense.

Indeed he does. TEB talked about that on WaPoLive last night.

GMGM loves him some bloodlines… small forwards who happen to be sons of former NHLers.

bloodlines...

… great for thoroughbred development, maybe not such a great angle for hockey players. : )

I wonder what Tarik’s sources are?

could be a simple as this…or maybe he’s got an e(5) hotlink!

Interesting. Ferraro was neither a choice in your Pick ‘Em, nor a guy “to watch” in DMG’s draft primer. I’m not trying to call you out, just curious as to why he wasn’t on your radar screen?

by Scott in Shaw on Jun 24, 2009 4:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Ferarro’s stat line wasn’t that impressive, but what the heck do I know.

by Sombrero Guy on Jun 24, 2009 5:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

He wasn’t one of my guys to watch just because I didn’t think he was as interesting as some other guys and I didn’t want to include every projected first rounder, just for the sake of length; wasn’t a Pick ‘Em because he’d already been picked by Calgary in the SBN Mock Draft (which is where I think he’ll go on Friday, barring trades).

by David Getz on Jun 24, 2009 5:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

That makes sense. I neglected to go back and check the prior picks.

by Scott in Shaw on Jun 24, 2009 5:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

He wasn’t one of the Pick ’Em guys because he was already off the SBN Mock Draft board. He definitely would have been.

Yeah, well, GMGM has never been known to encourage false info or to sandbag anyone regarding draft intentions…

Go Whale!

Hey, as a Whaler-turned-Cap fan, you can’t go wrong with a Ferraro.

great story and link, sir! my buddies were feebly sitting around trying to figure this out during the playoffs. I think we came up with Modano and Sakic, so we were missing a few LOL

I actually like duplicitous George when it comes to hiding his hand. But here’s a refreshing example of openness (with the media, at least).

So if GMGM loves his bloodlines, do you think he’d grab up Ryan Bourque too? He’s ranked 49th among North American skaters on the NHL Entry Draft site, so I’m guessing he’d be there for our 2nd round pick, maybe 3rd. Then again, I’m not even close to knowing a whole lot about the draft.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
