Sask has about 1/4 the population of BC and 1/3 the population of Alberta. If you multiply the population of Sask and the number of Sask draft picks by 3, we still have less people than Alberta but 144 picks. Obviously, that number is pretty ridiculous, but my point is that Saskatchewan has a proportionately, higher number of picks than any of the other three provinces and the US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37271484.post-25728720675864077972007-04-19T15:49:00.000-06:002007-04-19T15:49:00.000-06:00Mole, you're right Saskatoon had I believe, 5 firs...Mole, you're right Saskatoon had I believe, 5 first rounders last year but as a whole, it was B.C. and AB that produced the most players drafted.<BR/><BR/>Here's the numbers<BR/>AB - 78<BR/>BC - 62<BR/>SK - 48<BR/>MB - 36<BR/>U.S. - 15Jon Keenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173254212425870800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37271484.post-45182758926407572442007-04-19T13:39:00.000-06:002007-04-19T13:39:00.000-06:00What do you mean by "once again it looks like most...What do you mean by "once again it looks like most of the talent comes from B.C. and Alberta?"

The best comment that I gathered was looking at finding a head coaching position.<BR/>Habby is a leader, not a follower so I can see where it must be odd taking direction as an assistant coach.<BR/>I am not saying he is not open to what others have to say, but when you've had the success he's had, all as a head coach, it must be tough playing second fiddle on a coaching staff instead of lead guitar.Regan Bartelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156188149671632288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37271484.post-39002423166627211702007-04-19T10:12:00.000-06:002007-04-19T10:12:00.000-06:00Jon,Interesting commment on the Hawks looking at M...Jon,<BR/><BR/>Interesting commment on the Hawks looking at Moffet. He seems to fit the bill for what the Hawks are looking for, but seems to be a bit of a gamble on actually committing to play in the WHL. The Hawks have publicly stated that they will only draft players that they feel are committed to playing in the dub. So if they do in fact draft Moffet, that tells me that they have received some sort of assurance that he will play here. If they can't get that assurance I think they will trade down and pick up someone lower since a lot of the talent seems to be pretty equal this year. <BR/><BR/>CJ from PortlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
