Regarding TSN's POY, it all depends on your definition of PLAY. Is it only what D. Sedin did with the puck after getting it? Or the entire play, starting with the faceoff win to the puck goin' in the net?
I tend to go with the latter.

It is this. Goal of the year is a totally different category. Also, Play of the Year isn't just limited to meaning "Individual Play of the Year"
That's why Backstrom's tic-tac-toe play is in there. His goal was just a quick release goal, but was nomitated into the competition because of the entirety of the play.
although imo the Q is the weakest of the whole CHL
Well, Sauve was supposed to be a definite first rounder but fell under the pressure and had a pretty bad first half of a season. In the second, he recovered.
Eitherway, we'll see in about 2-3 years time. He's going to with Victoria or Manitoba next year.
Would you take Kirill Kabanov at 25th overall if he falls to us?

Of the 100 players invited the NHL Scouting Combine, maybe the most interesting player was Russian-born forward Kirill Kabanov.
Kabanov's struggles on and off the ice this season have been well-documented -- his court battle with the KHL, his wrist injury, leaving his team in Moncton three games into the playoffs, getting booted from Russia's World Under-18 team.
I wanted to hear Kabanov's story, and during the 10 minutes he and I talked, he was brutally honest about what happened and where he believes his future lies.
"I can you tell one thing -- I will stay in North America forever," he told NHL.com. "CHL, AHL, NHL -- I don't want to go back to Russia." He even went as far as saying that he's considering giving up his Russian citizenship."
With Russian-born players under a microscope for a number of reasons, his words in his Combine interviews are vital. Kabanov's talents are unmistakable, but his off-ice decisions are what teams have to take into consideration.
However, I have not seen Kabanov play. If he's THAT good, the smart thing to do may be to draft him. You can't take the "safe" pick every time. Risk = reward every once in a while.

He was touted to be first overall for a bit but now still in the top 10 by all accounts.
kabanov was a top 10 prospect last season, leaving moncton QMJHL due to attitude problems and being kicked off russia WHJC dropped his ranking to late first :S
thats bullshit!
