Boston selects Kieffer Bellows

1 (14) - LD, Jake Bean (Calgary, WHL)
1 (20) - C, Kieffer Bellows (USNDT, USHL)

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

With the 21st overall pick the Islanders select defenseman Markus Niemeläinen - Saginaw (OHL)

Rising defensive import who is very tall and rangy. He displays an active long stick, and moreover, excellent four direction skating ability. High end hockey sense and a calm poise aid his carries, even under heavy pressure. He makes that long stretch pass very well. Has the size and feet to knock attackers off the puck, retrieve it, and get it going the other way. physical attributes. He is still adjusting to the smaller North American ice surfaces, but the ability to adjust with quick reactions, and attack and defend continue to improve with each game. The small attackers don’t really get away from him and he is intelligent when part of the attack. Still developing, with great tools and toolbox, so it may take some time,

Well well! We have a reach pick! Very interesting.

Currently ranked 52nd among North American skaters by Central.

Daaaamn Daniel. This second half of this 1st round isn't going how I thought it would.

Evaluating the Islanders i felt that defense would be an area of focus. After looking at the group of dmen in the 20-60 range and not having a 2nd round pick i felt I had to choose between Niemeläinen, Clague, Fox, Dinnen, Girard ect. Not a big fan of Logan Stanley. To me he's gonna be similar to Oleksiak. I reached a point where i went with the guy i liked the best out of a large group of guys.

I think from my research that he's probably ranked a little too low by central scouting. I don't see a huge difference in defenseman once you get past the first 5 or 6.

Gauthier and Jones dropped hard in this mock. Bellows too.

Not far enough for any of those three...

The Carolina Hurricanes are proud to select, from the University of Wisconsin, Luke Kunin!

The Badgers have fallen on hard times but this bright spot is sure to bring excitement to the program after leading the team in goals this season as a freshman. Seeing time on the top line at both center or right wing, Kunin possesses a lightning quick release on his shot that he unleashes often.

The Florida Panthers are proud to select... Riley Tufty!

Darn I was hoping Kunin would fall to the late first round for me. Not likely at the real NHL draft but I was hoping with less exposure to Oilers fans it might happen. Oh well.

 

[Reginald Dunlop]

Yeah Kunin is a great prospect. After Fabbro was gone it was between Gauthier and him for me at 19.

 

[cjrw83]

The Ducks are proud to select with the 25th overall pick - Tyler Benson from the Vancouver Giants of the WHL

[Joey Moss]

Some interesting picks.. didn't expect Mete to go first round either.

Was going to post the same thing. I still see a lot of good players available in the first round. I've got like 4 guys I'm keeping an eye on. One of them should drop to the Oilers.

 

[PaulBissonnette]

From Windsor of the Ontario Hockey League, the Dallas Stars select, 6'7" defenseman, Logan Stanley.
