Maybe I'm weird, but I'd wait to see who are the nine players taken before the tenth pick before taking a decision.
I agree with Vlad (both that he is weird and his point)
Look at the mock drafts and some of the speculation, everything is different. It's hard to say who will even be available at 10. Depending on the draft, all the players mentioned could be gone. That's what's up with this draft, after the first 2-3 picks, it's really a crapshoot from pick #4-#20.
Even team's needs aren't for sure. For example: Atlanta
The Hockey News says the Thrashers may lean towards a blueliner, meanwhile TSN says a playmaking center is their top interest. Finally, Hockey's Future says the organization lacks character players and defensive depth.
It's hard to say, that's what's making this draft so interesting, as there will be plenty of surprises
