-The NAHL was ignored. Kai Kantola and Carter Camper went undrafted, which I don't think anyone expected.
-There were two camps on Draft Day: the GMs who thought the quality of the '06 class so bad that they needed to take the safest player possible no matter how little upside he possessed (Lucic, Petry, Peckham, Axelsson, etc.) and those GMs that thought the class so bad that they needed to take a player with even the slightest wift of homerun potential (Keith Seabrook, Nick Foligno, Jeff Zatkoff). This led to a number of players right in the middle that fell significantly (Forney, Clutterbuck, Juutilainen, Marcinko).
-Despite the new transfer agreement, everyone except Washington kept as far away from Russia as possible in the first round. Extremely disappointing to see bona fide guys like Popov (round 7) spiral.
