Both the Slovak, ANDREJ KUDURNA (6'2 200) '91 born, and the Swede JOHN PERSSON
(6'2 195) have posted good scoring stats this year playing with RNH on the #1 Red Deer line along with very good +/- stats....now you could say this is mostly due to playing with a talent like RNH-but it does work both ways --somebody has to FINISH off his set-ups ...Neither of these wingers has huge PIM numbers -but that doesn't becesarily indicate softness..

I wonder if they willbe drafted by NHL clubs this year in later rounds after being bypassed (in Kudurna;s case for 2 prior drafts-in Persson's case last draft)....are they better bets than some 3rd-7th round high school longshot?

Can anyone who has seen Red Deer a lot this year comment on them and their draft worthiness -or is there some flaw with them that still spells bypass again?

I've only been to a few games this season so I'm really not an expert but I will offer my two cents anyway. I know it's easy for me to say that Kudrna is the better player because he has more points but just by watching them play I do feel that he is the bigger offensive threat of the two. Persson might have better finish though. Obviously, all three players feed very well off of each other.
