I have seen alot of discussion on our 1st pick, but not much on the other 2 picks we have in the first round. After looking at a few mock drafts, it looks like there will be some really good options available late in the draft. Some of the players these writers have us taking:
22nd overall (via St Louis)
Robert Hagg, D, Modo Jr. (SWE-JR.) - Talented blueliner opened eyes with strong WJC for Sweden, and play stayed strong all season
Zach Fucale, G, Halifax (QMJHL) - touted as the best goalie in this draft class
Joshua Morrissey, D, Prince Albert (WHL) - Calgary native has lots of offensive upside
29th overall (via Pittsburgh)
Curtis Lazar, C/RW, Edmonton (WHL) - Finished the season strong; led the Oil Kings in goals with 38
Samuel Morin, D, Rimouski (QMJHL) - The 6-6.25, 202-pounder rose 53 slots to No. 23 in Central Scouting's final rankings; long reach and good 1-on-1 player
Eric Comrie, G, Tri-City (WHL) - Hip surgery shortened season, but talent level remains high; should be ready for start of next season
Kerby Rychel, C, Windsor (OHL) - Kerby Rychel was extremely productive last season in the OHL and possess tremendous playmaking ability.
