['12 HFB Draft Board] #18

[Teemu]

The first 5 names listed above the line are eligible to be put directly on to the list.

The next 5 (below the line), are eligible to be moved up to be put on the next poll. If any two are tied in bottom portion, I'll just move them up, and later on pare down the list when it gets too big.

We can tweak the process if it merits such.

This is to encourage discussion comparing prospects to each other, citing a drop in talent, etc. Especially for those of us less fortunate to see them for ourselves. It is not supposed to be a mock draft, so just pick the players you like.

You may also want to request a name to be added to the next poll.

1. Nail Yakupov, LW, Sarnia (OHL) - RUS (96.73%)
2. Mikhail Grigorenko, RW, Quebec (QMJHL) - RUS (50.00%)

goalie of the future HERTL if they want a 2nd line centre solution , or SUBBAN if they want a top quality ....(these are who I prefer)--but STANBO will probably go D-man (bypassing his biggest needs for the pipeline) and instead probably take kOEKKOEK then tel us how he "stole" one like he did with SAAD because had KOEKKOEK not been hurt he would surely have been a top ten guy...

Prediction : Bustorama for Stan's d-man pick whoever it is--whereas if he bypasses Subban or Hertl he missed on either gem....(I feel a Skille over Kopitar type fiasco is upon us again as once again the vaunted scouting staff of Chicago makes another huge mistake by not taking my advice).
