Tyler Bozak is a really good if not elite third line center. I almost picked him a couple times.

He just wasn't as good a third line center as Nazem Kadri.

Also sometimes he was a first line center and whoops.

Yeah all of the stigma from him comes from the fact that he's a lovely first line center who sucks really bad defensively who played with two players even worse defensively than he was against top lines. On the third line it's a lot more manageable but stinks when he gets caught out.

Weird, I just assumed he was taken a long time ago. I didn’t realize how his sophomore season went.

He wasn't that bad, he just was moved off the powerplay and Green doesn't permit his defenders to join the attack at all. He's a solid two way defenceman, but his offensive ceiling is looking a lot lower than it did a year ago.

I like some young NHLers but none of them have the potential of the Blues' other top forward prospect, Jordan Kyrou. OHL player of the year with a 2PPG season, he's likely to make the NHL right away and probably has a higher ceiling than the other two right wingers I picked (Tuch and Bjorkstrand) with his speed and puck skills.

I think I might regret not taking certain forwards, but I really like the potential this guy has. 4 years of pro hockey by 21, coming off a fantastic AHL rookie season. He has the potential to be an impact player, so Carolina takes Sami Niku.

My D is now set as:

Suter - Edmundson
Yandle - Braun
Zadorov - Niku

The Sjarks select defenseman Rasmus Andersson and hope Calgary does the right thing and plays him this year. Very likely a top 4 defender in the near future Andersson continues the youth movement for the Sharks.

Despite that optimism from Quenneville as well as GM Stan Bowman, Crawford would not commit to being ready when training camp begins.
...he is never going to play again is he?
The Calgary Flames move Corey Crawford to LTIR and Select Scott Darling because replacing Crawford with Darling has a proven track reccord of winning the Stanley Cup.

The Anaheim Ducks of Anaheim would like to select Rick Nash. We're actually surprised he's still on the board and a UFA in the NHL as well. Nash was a premier power forward over his career and even at the age of 33 generates exceptional fancy stats. He may be slowing down, but with a bit of a reduced role in terms of ES we feel Nash can still be a very productive player for our organization. Again in our accentuation of our philosophy Nash has been fined for his High Stick on Mark Giordano.
