Best players still available?

[HockeyMind9]

Lots of really good players still available, who could be steals tomorrow.

Here's a few that seem obvious:
Mayorov
Oscar Moller
Michal Repik
Brett McLean
Jonathan Blum
Bill Sweatt
Tommy Cross

Any other guys who could have easily been first rounders?

Can't believe Sweatt fell to the second round. I hope the Avs pick him.

Keven Veuillex could be interesting. I wouldn't mind a gamble on him in the second round.

Where's he predicted to go? Is his attitude really that bad?

The Penguins took a chance on Espo and I wouldn't mind seeing them take a chance on Aliu either. Read alot of bad about his attitude, but really seems like he has the skills to be a good power forward if he could control himself. The Pens now have alot of finesse players, I'd like to see them take a shot on a guy like Aliu if he's still around.

Doesn't seem as bad as some people make him out to be. He definitely deserves a look.

Some people had Luca i in their 1st round mock drafts.

I was sure Colorado was gonna take him with their #1... just goes to show how open this draft is, with the predictions being as off as they've been so far, what with Hickey and all.

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Hoping for Moller here.

 

[Senator Stanley]

Simon Hjalmarsson (I really hope the Sens get him)
Will Weber

 

[team_alex]

Hjalmarsson? I thought he may be a first rounder. Guess everyone got caught up in the North American centrist style. But Burke still likes the Swedes...

I really thought that the Canucks would take him at 25. Seemed like it would have been a great fit.

I would love him at 33.

what do people think about Hjalmarsson, Moller, and Brett Maclean?

Moller could be a dynamo, based on the game I saw him play in Chilliwack. He's small, but he can definitley see the ice, make plays, and has a big league release. I dont know anything about the other Swede and I barely know anything about Maclean.

As a Swede and a Pens fan, I would like to have atleast of Joakim Andersson, Simon Hjalmarsson and Oscar Möller in Pittsburgh.
