Ok. Thought I saw him on a ranking for the '08 draft, but I guess it was for '09.hifk88 said:Kuchin is 1991 born. He is eligible in 2009.
Good group of players. One question: Is this where they will play next season? If it is, you have to change james van riemsdyk's club, he'll be attending University of New Hampshire for 2006-07.orangeandblack said:top americans in an order similar to this would be

Not sure how good that list is. I'll have to read up, won't get too much. It's still very early.
Kyle Turris had a great season but remember he played Tier II Junior, NOT CHL hockey. Put top 89's from the CHL like Esposito Katic Boychuk & Couture in Tier II and see what they could do....
At the 2006 World Under 17 against his own age group and many CHL players, Turris did NOT stand out at all.
However, he is still talented no doubt.
GEt off it--Keith Seabrook (albeit a D-man) was a 2nd round pick in '06 from the same BCHL team as Turris ...I saw what I saw with my own eyes--if a talent like Turris isn't top 5 material,then I should resign my scouting bona fides --just because he didn't shine in the summer of '05 doesn't mean he didn't blossom in the following season so that by the spring of '06 he REALLY DID SHINE=lots!!!
I know talent when I see it--he's got it;I'm more dubious about the hype on Esposito (let's see how gooid he is without Radulov this season).
2009 is the draft to watch !!

I'm putting together a list of the top eligible players for the 07 draft. Right now, it contains 98 players(hopefully I will have 210 names come draft day). I thought I post it. Could you guys tell me who to add, and who to take away?
There's Nick Petrecki, whose the top rated defenseman. He's 6'3 205lbs, is a physical force
but doesn't have the offensive tools yet.
I believer Llewellyn, Kane, van Riemsdyke, Malone (2nd overall in QMJHL draft in 2005) are eligible.
