After some youtube scouting on Perlini, Ritchie and Dal Colle.

1. Perlini. (Very Jeff Carter like aside from the left hand shot) Will certainly need another year in juniors and that isn't a bad thing. I love Jeff Carters game so I'd definitely like the Flames to take the bait on this kid.

2. Dal Colle. Good playmaking vision, Decent shot. nothing to complain about aside from the continuous comments about him disappearing a lot.


3. Ritchie. I can think of three players I'd put ahead of him. Even in highlight packages specifically designed to show his upside theres still something missing there. Definitely put Guys like Dal Colle, Virtanen and Perlini ahead of him.

I posted in THW draft thread in the Back Burner forums that I'm a big fan of Nikolai Goldobin. Fast, elite offensive skill , high hockey IQ and a killer shot. It's been said many times by many scouts where his deficiencies lie and thats defensively but hes definitely not on Yaks level of terribleness. 6'0 181lbs is the biggest I've found people reporting him on being. 5'11 and 173 being the smallest. Still some room to grow but I'd take a shot at him if Perlini/Dal Colle werent available. I'd personally put Goldobin ahead of Ritchie on my list.

His placing could be all over the map in the first round this year. Could definitely see a top ten team take him high outside of the top four and will not be surprised one bit. And I could also see him fall into the early second round too (where it would be insane for the Flames not to take him with their scond rounder if he fell that far. Which I doubt he will)
