Bo Horvat is worth considering with the St. Louis pick (I have seen mock drafts picking him anywhere from 12th to 20th). His scouting report makes me think of Joel Otto:

Big tank is a force at both ends. Owns the middle of the ice and is a shutdown
defensive centre, while also contributing plenty at the offensive end. Always in the middle of the

action and is best in heavy traffic. Goes hard to the net and is difficult to move in front - creates
traffic and screens around the crease, and is able to cash in on rebounds and deflections often. He has a knack
for coming up with big goals at key moments. Workhorse is effective on both special teams units.
