but he's so boring... like Greening and Condra.

Not at all. Those guys turned pro very late. Grant is 20. Ind. Scout Corey pronman said recently he's one of the more underrated prospects out there and wouldn't be surprised if he ends up a 2nd liner. Stepped right into bingo and impressed

Coyle in at #2 C.
Wellman over to RW.
Bulmer down #4 and replace either Lehtonen or McMillan and it seems about right.

I dig that top 6. That is a ton of talent on two lines.

I'm not exactly blown out of the water in terms of the goaltending, but that prospect depth is pretty amazing. Most other teams have Hudon jumping to their top six immediately, and he barely makes it to the fourth line here. Speculatively, it looks like Detroit's drafting success is bound to continue...

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Not soon. Probably 2-3 more years at the U of M.

That's an endless supply of grit!

The problem with drafting like that, however, is that if you produce enough busts (i.e. Colborne and Kadri) you find yourselves very quickly in Calgary Flames territory--all those who aren't busts, and most of your 'diamond in the roughs,' by their very gritty nature, go on to be most valuable and most serviceable as third and fourth line assets (see: Langkow, Moss, and Glencross).

In the end, you do one of the three things; you either pay first-line money for the third line players, simply because your team developed them; or you become an assembly line factory, producing great checkers for other teams (something that the Columbus Blue Jackets have done a lot, see: Fritsche, Sestito, Jackman, and Mauldin); or you have practically no draft success at all, minus sure-fire top three picks (see: Burke's drafting record from 1999-2002).

With all of that being said, actually having a first round pick for the 2012 draft will surely shore up this prospect group. But having looked at Burke's drafting record (and the drafting record of Jay Feaster, for that matter), I think it's safe to say that we'll be seeing more of the same in Calgary and Toronto for at least a few more years.

Our depth is alot better than its given credit for, we still lack one high end prospect.

I also forgot Paul Byron who we just acquired.

There's actually so many strong NYI prospects that you could make several different teams with their depth chart.

I've got a guy I'm pretty sure is a center at LW (Ewanyk), but other than that, I think everyone is in their natural spot.

Not bad considering all of Hall, Paajarvi, Omark, Eberle, Peckham, and Dubnyk all graduated this past year.

Gregoire is gone, he stuffed us pretty hard. Anders Lee is also way better than Gregoire anyway.

That is impressive. I look forward to the rivalry.

Me too, we should meet up in the finals in 2018
