[johum7]

Dobson is top 10 without question, maybe even top 5. Hayton, Kupari and McIsaac are all easily first round picks, with Tychonick, Dellandrea and Kaut are on the brink of being first rounders. Mifthakov could probably be lower, but is okay where he is. Wouters, Ragnarsson and Durzi could probably be a bit lower.

 

[Habs76]

Bleh, those Habs second rounders. McBain with Lundkvist, Tychonick, Hayton, etc right there. Galenyuk with Khovanov and the above three still there, while Miftakhov and Wouters would be awful picks too.

Galenyuk + McBain + Miftakhov + Wouters

vs.

Khovanov + Tychonick + Noel + McLaughlin

The second quartet is better in every single facet of the game aside from goaltending.

 

[Weiss1604]

This would get Doug & Bill Armstrong fired .

 

[FameFlame069]

Am I missing something or is Noel not even in the top 62 ? I think he's latest in the 40's

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Don't think the Sens draft out of Russia and I'd like Merkley with that 2nd pick
