Prendergast on His Favorite Draft Pick

"I think every scout has his favorite players. "

















"Our staff works as a team and whomever the player is that we take we're taking him as a team and there might be three or four scouts who don't like the player but the other nine guys on staff do like him."

"My first pick was Ales Hemsky, and you certainly want him to play and I'm yearning for him to be a success and so far I think Ales is going to be."

    The Oil for years were always in the middle of the draft. They were one pick away from Hamhuis and Stafford. Two guys that would help today.

    1 pick away from Hamhuis and 2 picks behind from Fredrik Sjostrom. Yeah I am liking the Hemsky pick :)

    I'm confused, Muller. Are you implying that Dan Hamhuis would help the team more than Ales Hemsky?
