Seto should be on. Cloverdale would have been nothing without him.
Seto should be there. He makes players around him better. Ask Barzel last year and Soy this year. Fantastic talent. BWC must have some influence as they dominated the selection more than they dominated the play vs Cloverdale. I guess too many great players in BC and not enough spots. Seto is for sure as good as any forward on that list and he will have his day. Several POE D should be there as well. Braylon Shymr as well......and...... Its always hard with these selections.
seto is a one way player and tends to be selfish with the puck.
Sounds like you are jealous? 7:55 Who is your son so we can comment on him? Seto is a great player. Like I said he makes player around him better. What do you mean by a one way player. Does that mean good all the time?
8:02 are you sure its not the other way around that Soy and Barzel made him better then he actually is? Just asking, I really don't know. Szeto did not make it either So did alot of other very good players.
I don't think BWC has that much power to influence the NHLPA?
Cloverdale did have a good run,just could not win when they needed too.
Everyone has a opinion, but they don't matter in the end.
Seto would have never been drafted if he didn't have a good shot. His skating hurts him and will continue to hurt him trying to get to the next level.
I have to agree with 7:55. Everything about him is I, I, I and not team. Selfish, Selfish, Selfish!!!! Cloverdale would have been nothing without him....please don't disrespect the talent on that team!!!
I think the scouts and those involved with the NHLPA have done their homework for who they chose for this televised event.(...BWC must be a great program to have influence with the NHLPA....hahaha..sounds like someone is not happy with what the scouts saw all season long....remeber the old saying, " the cream always rises to the top".
Hey 10:12
Yes Cloverdale had a good season, won some tournaments, but when all the marbles where on the line in the game that matterd the most, guess what? They lost. simple truth they lost could not get it done.
Give the devil the devil their due, when it mattered the most BWC answered the bell
Seto has a heavy shot and scored lots of goals Probably a step back for him last year in his overall development. His skating did not improve and Cloverdale let him float too much and his play on the defensive side of the puck suffered.
That said there is lots of time to get rid of the bad habits he picked up in Cloverdale . Should be in major midget next year. Let's hope
NHLPA mentorship....Seto a pro..Not likely
Is there a better place where we can find out about the top 98 and 99 born players? I come on here and find zilch, noda, nothing and I won't pay a cent either for this information.
Why would we pay to to see rankings, I'll do my own rankinos.
Any other sites better out there, just curious.
If you ared oing your own rankings, why do you care what WEP rankings are?
