Rangers only had 4 later picks and used them all on forwards.

#74 - Marcus Kallionkieli. A Finnish-Brazilian with an awesome name, what can go wrong? Scored 29 goals last season at Sioux City, where he played alongside Flames prospect Martin Pospisil and possible first rounder Bobby Brink.

#90 - Leevi Aaltonen. A real boom-or-bust player from Finland - highly skilled, but very small (5'9 168). Really good skater and playmaker, had a great U18 tournament as well. Will be interesting to see how he does against men in Liiga next season.

#125 - Dillon Hamaliuk. A productive winger with good size and speed, the caveat is that he missed half of the season with an injury - otherwise he surely wouldn't have slipped that far. Was traded to Kelowna at the deadline and if healthy he should give them additional firepower when they host the Memorial Cup next year.

#139 - Vojtech Strondala. Another really small, but skilled boom-or-bust forward from Europe. Bit of a random selection I admit, as several of my targets went of the board just before him.

We'll see. Had multiple 3rd and 4th round picks last year go a round earlier in the real draft, hoping for more of the same next week!
