yeah it feels like Silayev, Levshunov and Dickinson at the top, then that second group with Parekh, Buium, Jiricek and Yakemchuk. I guess with some of those defensemen it really comes down to what you're looking for ... there's jack of all trades types like Dickinson, whereas a guy like Parekh is offensive dynamite, but poor defensively. And then you have Jiricek, whose injury might make him drop a bit. Will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
I still wonder if Aron Kiviharju would be worth a flyer with a late 1st or early 2nd. Kind of feels like Kylington back then, who was also touted as a top 5 pick before falling in his draft year. It's similar for Kiviharju, and his injury hasn't helped. Undersized, but great skating and puck-moving skills. Still think there's a player there.
