As we all know the 2003 draft was incredible. I would like a wrap-up of your teams draft pick from that year. Include stats, pros-and-cons, potential, if they were a steal in the round, etc.
Here's the 1st round:

25 Florida Anthony Stewart R Kingston Frontenacs (OHL) 10 2 1 3 2
26 Los Angeles Brian Boyle F St. Sebastian's [Mass. H.S.]
27 Los Angeles Jeff Tambellini L U. of Michigan (NCAA) 25 1 3 4 10
28 Anaheim Corey Perry R London Knights (OHL) 56 13 12 25 50
29 Ottawa Patrick Eaves F Boston College (NCAA) 58 20 9 29 22
30 St. Louis Shawn Belle D Tri-City Americans (WHL)
Here's who the Pens drafted:
1 G Marc-Andre Fleury
32 C Ryan Stone
70 R Jonathan Filewich
73 L Daniel Carcillo
121 D Paul Bissonnette
161 L Evgeny Isakov
169 L Lukas Bolf
199 G Andy Chiodo
229 C Stephen Dixon
232 L Joe Jensen
263 F Matt Moulson
MAF - looking back, maybe the Pens should have traded this pick for a later pick (Vanek) and a prospect. Stats should vastly improve next year if our defense is revamped.
Ryan Stone - Very good pick (rather have Weber of Carle). Hurt last year but showed promise in his rookie year with WBS in the AHL (14-22-36 and 109 PIMS.) Should be up in two years as fourth line center.
Johnathan Filewich - Could be up next year. Top 6 winger or bust type. 30 goals last year for WBS
Daniel Carcillo - Traded for George Laraque, and I was sad to see him go. In 18 games for Phoenix he had 4 goals, 3 assist, and 74 PIM's. A good agitator who can score and actually fight!
Paul Bissonnette - Stuck in the ECHL, just plain sucks.
Evgeny Isakov & Lukas Bolf- Don't know
Andy Chiodo - Once very promising but slipping down the Pens depth chart
Stephen Dixon - Solid in WBS 80 games 17-24-41 and 43 PIM's. Good late pick.
Joe Jensen - Not very good, kind of smallish for the NHL. 6 goals in 26 games for WBS in the AHL.
Matt Moulson - Awesome, awesome pick in the last round. Very mad the Pens didn't sign him. Rookie year in the AHL last year. 77 games 25-32-57 and 23 Pim's. Could look decent on a wing beside Kopitar eventually!
What team's next?
