...at least until the end of the season.
Made some projections, have the Devils and Ducks making the playoffs and I guess the Canucks beat the Caps in the Cup finals.
Congrats Vancouver. And now your 2011 1st round:
1-EDM – Adam Larsson, D, Skelleftea (SWE)
For all the love of the Nuge, Larsson makes the team so much better right away.
2-OTT – Gabriel Landeskog, C, Kitchener (OHL)
With Alfie fading, the Sens secure their new captain and leader.
3-COL- Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, C, Red Deer (WHL)
Avs can’t resist adding the “Next Sakic†to the current young core.
4-NYI- Sean Couturier, C, Drummondville (QMJHL)
Time will tell but the Isles may soon have the best top line in the NHL: Couturier-Tavares-Nino!
5-FLA – Tyler Biggs, RW, USNTP (USHL)
With a deep group of forward prospects, the Panthers add some drive and leadership.
6-ATL – Jonathon Huberdeau, C, St. John (QMJHL)
Following up Burmistrov with another slick playmaker gives the Thrash a new look at center.
7-BOS- Dougie Hamilton, D, Niagara (0HL)
Has the size and skill to play the game any way needed. Thank You Kessel!
8-STL-Ryan Strome, C, Niagara (OHL)
The highly-skilled impact center the Blues need to complement a deep group of forwards.
9-CBJ-Ryan Murphy, D, Kitchener (OHL)
After holding their breath for 8 picks, BJs get the puck-mover they’ve been dreaming about.
10-CAR-Mika Zibanejad, C, Djurgjarden (SWE)
Fast and physical, Z-bad gives the ‘Canes a powerful 1-2 punch with Staal down the middle.
11-BUF-Duncan Siemens, D, Saskatoon (WHL)
Big and tough blueliner draws comparisons to Scott Stevens, future partner to Tyler Myers.
12-MIN-Joel Armia, RW, Assat (FIN)
Inevitably, the top ranked Finn goes to Minnesota to play with Koivu, Granlund and Miettinen.
13-OTT-Nicklas Jensen, LW, Oshawa (OHL)
With Peter Regin, gives the Sens a Danish contingent to balance the seven Swedes in the system.
14-CGY-Matt Puempel, LW, Peterborough (OHL)
Bit off the board or draft day steal depending on how you look at it. Sniper had a bad season.
15-NJD-Sven Baertschi, LW, Portland (WHL)
Swift winger with good passing skills who battles hard, reminds some of Zach Parise.
16-NYR-Brandon Saad, LW, Saginaw (OHL)
Power forward in the making slides to 16 but has the size and speed to be a force.
17-ANA-Rocco Grimaldi, C, USNTP (USHL)
California kid brings speed and intensity to complement Etem, Palmieri and DSP.
18-DAL-Nathan Beaulieu, D, St. John (QMJHL)
After passing on Fowler last year the Stars get a puck-mover, will he pan out as promised?
19-MTL-Mark McNeill, C, Prince Albert (WHL)
Resisting the temptation to assign the top-ranked French name, Habs get tough center with size.
20-PHX-Dmitrij Jaskin, RW, Slavia Prague (CZE)
Skilled Czech winger has good size and plays a physical game, could be NHL ready very soon.
21-CHI-Ty Rattie, RW, Portland (WHL)
Shifty playmaker has already become accustomed to wearing a ‘Hawks jersey.
22-EDM-Mark Scheifele, C, Barrie (OHL)
Having to pass on the Nuge hurt, but Scheifele is a playmaker who could make the top line click.
23-TBL-Zack Phillips, C, St. John (QMJHL)
A very good playmaker with quick hands who could make bullets for Connolly and Ashton.
24-TOR-Boone Jenner, C, Oshawa (OHL)
Strong puck-pursuit skills and team-first mentality continues the Burke rebuild. Thank you Kabs!
25-PIT-JT Miller, C, USNTP (USHL)
Hometown boy can play the wing or center and continues the Penguins cap-friendly growth.
26-SJS-Jamieson Oleksiak, Northeastern (NCAA)
With Oleksiak 6’7, Petrecki 6’5 and Doherty 6’8 the Sharks have size on the backend to spare.
27-TOR-Lucas Lessio, LW, Oshawa (OHL)
Not the skilled tandem of Seguin-Knight but Lessio-Jenner will improve the Leafs penalty kill.
28-DET-Jonas Brodin, D, Farjestad (SWE)
The next “next Lidstrom†might actually have the skills, poise and smarts to make the tag stick.
29-WSH-Seth Ambroz, RW, Omaha (USHL)
With plenty of Russians, Swedes and goalies in the system, Caps look for the “next Knuble.â€
30-VAN- David Musil, D, Vancouver (WHL)
Hometown boy has size, strength and bloodlines to be a major force on the Cup winners blueline.
Will start working on the second round mock right away.
