2012 Entry Draft

[pete]

Dansk would be damned good to have in the system. If we end up having to settle for a short term rental like Thomas or Vokoun, we better draft Dansk or Vasilievski.

Not sure what I think of The Hockey Writers yet. Depends who's doing the write-up. Usually their prospect stuff is good, but their NHL coverage is nearly Bleacher Report-ish.

I think at least one of the 3 goalies ( Subban, Dansk, Vasilevski) will fall in the second so we shouldn't burn Detroits pick for one of them

There's also Gillies out of the USHL. Collin Olson will be there in the later rounds as well, he played like a freak at the U18 games.

Thanks Chad. I sort of happened on the site when I was looking for mock drafts and was impressed by their prospect info. They have some interesting articles, but like everything you read you have to take it with a grain of salt unless you are familiar with site and the professionalism of the writers.

THN's draft issue is out, at least it is on Zinio on the iPad.

5 through 15 is:

5. D Matt Dumba
6. D Morgan Rielly
7. C Alex Galchenyuk
8. D Griffin Reinhart
9. D Jacob Trouba
10. D Cody Ceci
11. C Radek Faksa
12. LW Teuvo Tervainen
13. D Derrick Pouliot
14. RW Sebastien Collberg
15. D Hampus Lindholm

The goaltenders are: Vasilievski 21, Dansk 44, Subban 48, Murray 61.

They have Kucherov's linemate Gusev ranked #62.

I'm good with Ceci

If Dansk falls to us in the 2nd round, the happy dance will be done.

I liked the little I saw from Pouliot in the Portland game the other night. A left-handed Dan Boyle. Could be more aggressive offensively.

He should have sick numbers next year if he's paired with Seth Jones.
