Fair enough. A 30-goal scoring defenseman tends to garner attention even in his senior year. I'm still a big Barrie believer (and owner) but I still think that if Elliott were to make it it would be because he's scoring a ton. Barrie, in my mind, is a sure fire NHL player but won't see the same upside that Elliott could reach. Based on ownership, I hope I'm wrong!

PS - don't think it was just angus who was high in this kid, he's been a pretty popular player across the boards, if my memory serves me right.
