Boy oh Boychuk.....

From what I'm reading/hearing many people believe that Zach Boychuk is going to slip a little bit on Friday night in Ottawa.

I really do find this hard to believe.

I don't have the exact number but I think the odds are pretty good that Zach Boychuk has played more hockey then other forward available for the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, his production may have slipped a bit this year because he was tired.

Think about it. He played at the Under 18 Championships, the Canada-Russia Challenge, the World Juniors, the Top Prospects game and managed to lead the Lethbridge Hurricanes all the way to the WHL Final.

He picked up his game in the post-season which is exactly what you want to see from a player.

People seem to think his size will hold him back, but it won't. He's built like a tank and can handle any physical play brought his way.

He has incredible one on one moves, a blistering shot, the ability to use his body to hold off defenders, is probably one of the most explosive dynamic players in the draft. I would be shocked if Zach Boychuk is not taken in the top 15.....and if he does slip past 15 the team that finally makes the wise decision and selects him is going to be extremely happy!!

Boychuk is the real deal.
