I would like to throw another name out for someone we could take in the second round, who didn't play in the U-18's. Samuel Helenius. As I've been reading about the Draft, and watching various highlight videos, I've seen alot on this kid that has me impressed. He's 6'6", and many scouts say he moves well for a man his size-and from watching him, they're right. He's got a cumbersome looking stride, but he really gets a lot out of his extentions, his crossovers look good, and he changes direction well.
He does a ton of PK in Finland, and he excels at it. He's a bit like his Father in that he's physical and mean. He's already got a WJC under his belt, and he put up an impressive 4pts in 7gp. Heck of a wrist shot too. Sutter would love this kid, although he won't be over here for a few years.
