I like Felix Schutz and Brad Marchand a lot.
Berglund, I think, will be a significant NHL player. I liked Reto Berra in 2005 as well, but am glad he fell to the Blues in 2006.
Glad to see someone mention Alexander Hellstrom. He's not a big scorer, not flashy, but plays a very solid defensive game, has good size, and has worked hard to make himself a player. He made the Swedish WJC team as the darkest of dark horses, and gave a good accounting of himself. I see him as a solid NHL third-pair defenseman and PK player for a good 10-15 years once he makes it, and you can't ask for much more than that from a seventh-round pick.
