He's earned it and could be one of these classic later picks who ends up doing something as opposed to drafting a goalie in rounds 1-2 only to see them take a long time or bust.<br /><br />On a side note- It's cool to see Al Montoya reinvent himself this season and shed the "bust" tag at least for now. He was drafted sixth overall in '04 for a reason- talent was always there, but he didn't do anything with the limited opportunities he had until forced into action by a desperate Islanders team. Good on him.Kirk Luedekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079201231943829805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412386431911254107.post-36992419514478210942011-03-30T04:40:33.352-07:002011-03-30T04:40:33.352-07:00I guess i should have held off posting about House...I guess i should have held off posting about Houser in your risers post for a few hours. Glad to see Griffith is in the risers and no longer a sleeper.<br /><br />I'm trying to set aside my love for the London Knights and trying to be realistic. With that said, I have always believed that Houser was a bit underrated and largely overlooked. It was my opinion that backing up Hutch last year, he didn't get enough starts to get attention for the 2010 draft.<br /><br />So with that said Kirk, am i being unrealistic or not doing a good job of being impartial when it comes to Knights players? What are your guys telling you about Houser (of course if you can share that)? Or will he be just a sleeper barring an unbeleivable playoff performance?<br /><br />Yours truly<br />Not very well disguised Knights fanDominichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854437371332018215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412386431911254107.post-54472262599084852812011-03-29T19:50:39.455-07:002011-03-29T19:50:39.455-07:00Nice work Kirk.

Seems like the quality drops off after that.<br /><br />Also, I'd be interested to see your take on a redraft of 2006. That Blues-Avs trade including Johnson, Stewart, and Shattenkirk still baffles me. I feel that Stewart is arguably in the top 5 of that 2006 re-draft.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521702266737030916noreply@blogger.com
