That's a nice list. Ill add Yamamoto, Kostin, and Poehling to the list of possible forwards. First two are big time boom or bust that could pay off, the latter may be a safer pick that has lower ceiling.

if we don't go with a Finn. i am thinking the Yamamoto kid. if the game keeps changing to a speedier less interference/hacky hacky game the wee man will be awesome. jets speed will be incredible.

very good chance he is still available at 24. unless arizona screws us with the second pick.

 

[DashingDane]

Really hoping for Brannstrom Wouldn't be angry if they flip it for a solid goalie or a youngish lhd with 2nd pair upside.

I like those three, though maybe Kostin carries some risk, I suppose. But he could be a home run. I think he'll be gone before 24.

Looking at these lists makes me smile every time.

Look at the discrepency. It's amazing the difference from 8-28. I see that and get really excited that so many guys are ranked all over the place, we are bound to get a faller.

You think they'll be available at 24?

I think we need a centreman. If there's quality at 24 for it

I was already thinking Brannstrom was worth a "reach" at #13. If we snag him at #24 I'll be very happy indeed. He will be my 1st choice until he is off the board.

Would have grabbed him at 13th in a heart beat!

 

[Aavco Cup]

Who has his CHL rights?

More likely he finds another school. If not that, he probably turns pro in either North America (AHL) or goes back to Finland.

I honestly think Yamamoto is riskier than Kostin. He is just so short, even Petan is taller than him

If we get Poehling and adhere to the notion NACS posted, it'll be like we didn't drop in our pick at all (NACS has Poehling at 13).

Apparently he's slipping in the rankings...

They also have Popugaev at 24 which is... well, interesting

No thanks on Poehling

What kind of Finnish sniping squad are you trying to assemble

 

[Deif]

I have no idea who to expect with our pick. Maybe Hague.

ALL the snipers

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Had picked out Vaakanainen weeks ago as a possible at 13. Brannstrom's relative age made him interesting at 13. Obviously, If I was thinking of reaching for them at 13 I'd be more than happy to get them at 24. Several others who have been mentioned in this thread would also be 'nearly as good as' 13.

This draft still has potential to be very exciting. But, at 24 it also has higher potential to go wrong. There are some decent players who I would have been PO'ed to take at 13 but would be satisfied with at 24.
