Good list. I would have Jesse Graham much higher.

 

[S E P H]

This is going to be a good draft when you see Andreas Anthansiou and Matthew Campagna pretty low and want them higher, but can't due to all the other fantastic prospects.

Overall really good list, except for Curcuruto, Fournier, and Ciampini who should be higher imo.

Also Rielly should be a bit higher too.

 

[Rshields]

I’ve been watching Derrick Pouliot play at the U-17 tournament and have to say he has moved to the top of my list.
The thing that has impressed me the most is his ability to change the flow of the game when he sees his team loosing focus or momentum.
Lots of good dmen there and some not so good, but in the games I’ve seen he is the most dominant both on defence and offence. Very cool and methodical.

Well personally, I haven't watched all of these guys play, espeically the guys from the Q, but i've heard that Ciampini plays a little afraid, and Curcuruto has been injured.

Rielly is just a great talent, now looking at the list, I would put him ahead of Gaunce, but not sure on Slater though.

Good list. I would have Jesse Graham much higher.

Jesse Graham seems to play stricly offense at times, and needs to work on his defensive side of his game, if he can improve defensively, he will definetly move up.

I saw Morgan Reilly play last year in Lévis, near Québec City in the 2010 Télus Cup. Was playing for the Notre-Dame Hounds. Loved the guy. Such a smooth and agile skater.

But in my mind, although i think Reilly will be a top 15 pick in 2012, you can't put him ahead of Michael Matheson who's playing D for the Lac St-Louis Lions in Midget AAA in Québec (It seems he'll go the USHL route next year.).

I like the two d-men, will take both of them anytime on my team but Matheson will be more dominant. The best skating d-man(gliding wise) since Paul Coffey.

Matheson is not playing in the CHL, but I would put him ahead of Rielly.

 

[Cooperman]

Yeah ! You're right, my bad ! I did not pay enough attention to your title.

Nevertheless, the rights of Matheson in the Q, are owned by the Shawinigan Cataractes.

The Cataractes hope to host the Memorial Cup in 2012. They're trying since last june to convince Matheson to join them, at least for next season, with no success so far.

 

[Jeremy Hronek]

number 41 is Steven Hodges

 

[nitz]

griffin reinhart is already the best d-man on the oil kings

 

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

Imho things are gonna change quickly after 2011 Import Draft.

He's solid in his own end aswell. Nitpicking here, but its Niagara
