Matthew wood is a Lethbridge kid but plays with Sergeev at UCONN. He’s 6’4 with a big time shot and shoots right. Plus he’s a Center.
Those three and Ritchie to me really seem like difference makers and top six guys with size and skill.

Danielson is a favorite of mine, he already plays an NHL style. He can play any situation you want-he can play a shutdown role, PK, PP, and he'll be out in the final minute of a game to either tie it up, or protect a lead. Great 200ft player. He's got size, can skate, has great IQ, and best of all- he drives play through transition. He's an excellent passer, and has a good shot, although he might want to work on it a bit. Brandon is not a great team, so the fact that he leads the team with 58 points in 48 games (7 more than his nearest teammate), says something. I've read that he shrinks a bit in physical games, but I see him battle along the boards and in the corner quite a bit-his assist in the prospects game came from doing the dirty work in the corner, digging out the puck, and throwing it out front for the tap-in. He's a top-6 NHL Center, no doubt.
More to come....
