Ottawa's Picks For OHL Priority Selection

Interesting . . . Very interesting. Ottawa's 1st pick (which was 12th overall): Couture. From 1st to 12th. Possibly skipped because he wouldn't assure teams that he would not explore US options? Or other teams had already made their decisions based upon the pre-Tavares standings and didn't want to change? Someone on NOOF said that his agent faxed all teams that he wouldn't be playing, then called some teams to tell them to draft him. Whatever the case, I hope he gives Ottawa a shot.

I know I shouldn't be amazed by the things that Killer does, but when I think about it I can't help but be amazed. For instance,
*he drafted the number 1 pick when he had 12th spot,
*his trades mid-season have resulted in them getting the number 1 import pick,
*the team has gelled so wonderfully with perfect timing toward the end of the season,
*they're in the OHL finals, and
*most amazing of all: they are going to the Memorial Cup.

Here's the whole list of selections the 67s made, according to the OHL Priority Selection site [link]:
