It's Starting To Get Drafty In Here...

[A technical glitch has delayed the posting of this morning's Rink Wrap, so as you eagerly await your chance to vote on Milan Jurcina's 2008-09 season later today or tomorrow, chew on this for a bit.]
With just a few weeks to go before the NHL holds its annual entry draft, it's time to start familiarizing yourselves with some of the names that will be called on First Round Friday night. And while (barring a trade) the Caps won't be selecting any of the big dogs at the top of this list (they pick 24th), there are gems aplenty to be found later in the round, as John Carlson - last year's 27th pick overall - is well on his way to demonstrating.
Below is a list of thirty potential first-rounders, with links to the Draft Prospect Card for each. Study up.
| Player | Pos | Ht | Wt |
| Tavares, John | C | 6'0" | 198 |
| Hedman, Victor | D | 6'6" | 220 |
| Duchene, Matt | C | 5'11" | 198 |
| Kane, Evander | C | 5'11" | 160 |
| Paajarvi-Svensson, Magnus | LW | 6'1" | 200 |
| Schenn, Brayden | C | 6'0" | 196 |
| Cowen, Jared | D | 6'5" | 218 |
| Schroeder, Jordan | RW | 5'8" | 165 |
| Kulikov, Dmitri | D | 6'1" | 195 |
| Ellis, Ryan | D | 5'10" | 173 |
| Kadri, Nazem | C | 6'1" | 177 |
| Glennie, Scott | C | 6'1" | 180 |
| Josefson, Jacob | C | 6'0" | 174 |
| Ekman-Larsson, Oliver | D | 6'2" | 176 |
| Moore, John | D | 6'2" | 189 |
| Kassian, Zack | RW | 6'3" | 205 |
| Despres, Simon | D | 6'4" | 214 |
| Leblanc, Louis | C | 5'11" | 170 |
| Ashton, Carter | RW | 6'3" | 205 |
| Kreider, Chris | LW | 6'2" | 200 |
| Runblad, David | RW | 6'2 | 189 |
| Ferraro, Landon | RW | 6'0" | 165 |
| Holland, Peter | C | 6'2" | 178 |
| Budish, Zack | C/R | 6'3" | 229 |
| Morin, Jeremy | C | 5'10" | 189 |
| Shore, Drew | C | 6'2" | 165 |
| Leddy, Nick | D | 5'11" | 185 |
| Olsen, Dylan | D | 6'2" | 206 |
| Elliot, Stefan | D | 6'0" | 180 |
| Palmieri, Kyle | C | 5'10" | 185 |

So does anyone have any preferences as to whom, specifically, or what type of player, generally, the Caps should be looking at with the 24th pick?
I’m going to go with the generic “best available,” with forward being a tiebreaker.

I think they will go the “not having to sign for a while” route. Someone like Louis Leblanc, Drew Shore, Kyle Palmeiri, Chris Kreider, or Jeremy Morin. I read up on the top 60 a few weeks back and will have to revisit that to remember who I liked the most and which of the above were going the CHL route vs the College route. My biggest hope is that Kulikov falls to us, but that will not happen. I see him as Mike Green for the 2nd pairing.

Not a link. The Hockey News released a 2009 Draft Preview magazine which I bought. It has write up’s on the top 60 players, plus a few others from the 2010 and 2011 drafts. I figured I would highlight a few “family friends” we have from north of Toronto.
2010 Draft
John McFarland – C – Sudbury
Grew up in Richmond Hill (same town as my family) and was the 1st round selection in the OHL draft last year. Agile with great hands and shot. Good character. I doubt we will draft high enough to get him…but I can dream. Currently ranked 8th.
2011 Draft – Killer draft for York Region
Daniel Catenacci – C
Just went first overall in the OHL draft. Tons of offensive potential. From Newmarket…went and watched Daniel about 5 times this year.
Justin Sefton – D
In my opinion, the guy we all would want on this board. Already a 6’2"-195 “edgy” blueliner…think Chris Pronger. BTW, his grandfather (who is a family friend) tells me he is actually 6’4"-225. Justin went to Notre Dame (SASK) which is a prep school that builds schooling around hockey. Justin is from Thunder Bay, Ontario. Justin was drafted by Sudbury so you know I will go and see them play with both McFarland and Sefton on the same team.
Ryan Murphy – D
Ryan is from Aurora..which is just a couple minutes north of our place. He is a very offensive defenseman in the mold of Ryan Ellis (in this years draft) or Mike Green (who you all know).
Only 7 more years until my sons draft year :-)

Sheesh, that’s two years from now. I wonder what the track record is on determining that 16 year olds are going to produce a bad draft two years later and then it turns out that a bunch of studs came out of that draft year. What defines a good/bad draft year anyway? Over/under a dozen superstars?

THN’s Draft issue said that the global talent pool is considered especially weak by scouts all over and no headlining stars have emerged.

Just the thought of a 6’3", 205 RW (at that age) is tantalizing. The fact that he lists "Thunderstruck" as his pump up song seals the deal.

How is “tantalizing” working out for Eric Fehr? I want to know if the guy can skate. That’s the bottom line no matter what his size.

Agreed, and we don’t know how Osala’s going to turn out up here, either. TTo be fair, though, if Fehr saw more ice time, I think he’d be a different story.

Adj. 1. tantalizing – arousing desire or expectation for something unattainable or mockingly out of reach;
How is "tantalizing" working out for Eric Fehr? Pretty well by the definition, I’d say.
All’s I’m saying is we dream of big wingers. This kid’s a big winger. Of course we dream more often of productive hockey players, regardless of vital statistics, but on this very cursory glance, are you not more intrigued to find out more about Kassian than, say, Schroeder?
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
by J.P. on Jun 3, 2009 10:49 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No, actually. THN, specifically, said that Schroeder had a good combine (though, I was skeptical when they listed him at, what, 200? BS) and, given that he’s likely a top-10 pick, I’d say his overall potential for greatness is probably more likely than Kassian’s. At this particular moment in time, I’d take Schroeder over Kassian in a heartbeat, but we won’t have to worry about that because I doubt we’ll get either :-).
by DrinkingPartner on Jun 3, 2009 11:05 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I didn’t say I’d take Kassian over Schroeder. Sigh. It was a throw-away line on a dude’s height and weight relative to a perceived organizational need.

HEY! Never sigh, you sound like a teenage girl who’s never been understood in her life when you do that. Just FYI.
Also, how would we find out more about them without taking them in the draft, first? I mean, about playing style and actual potential production and such…
by DrinkingPartner on Jun 3, 2009 11:58 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Fair enough with the dictionary definition, Justice Kennedy, but I still maintain my point that we should be looking for skaters. We had big bodies all year and when it mattered it didn’t help. We need guys that can skate and win battles. Schroeder is smaller, but he can skate and is a very good hockey player. He was one of the only US players to impress me at the WJC. I would take him over Kassian in a heartbeat. The guy on that list that intrigues me much more than Kassian is Kreider. He’s got plenty of size but his report says he’s a great skater that has great hockey sense, can PK, and can finish. He also plays C. Now that would be a great fit. I just wish he’d take a path that allowed him to play more games against higher competition.

See my comment above – it wasn’t meant as an evaluation of the guy’s skill (or as much of anything, really).

by J.P. on Jun 3, 2009 12:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They can talk to my representative, Sasha Pokulok (aided by Eric Fehr, Joe Finley, and Eric Mestery). Why did Beagle get called up for <5 minutes a night instead of a guy that might win a puck battle, like C-Bo or Aucoin?
by Fehr and Balanced on Jun 3, 2009 12:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Pokuluk you get..
But Fehr, and his 8/min of ice time, not to mention broken back; Finley, who JUST got out of school; and Mestery, who is all of 19 don’t really prove much.
by wittcap79 on Jun 3, 2009 12:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I’m not saying those guys are duds, I’m just saying that size seems to be a huge tie-breaker for him. IIRC Pokulok, Finley, and Mestery were all reaches at the time. And we all know what other (smaller) options GMGM had when he drafted Fehr.
by Fehr and Balanced on Jun 3, 2009 1:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Bourque was a reach, too, fwiw.

I know, and Perreault was a flyer. I’m not exactly sure how those factors relate but I think it’s pretty clear that GMGM has a thing for size, the WHL, and famous last names.

but none of those 3 were even the best player the Caps selected in the round they were selected, much less the draft. Borque is probably our best 2nd round selection of 2004 but we’ll see what Yunkov does when he comes over to North America next year.

In fairness, three of those four guys were drafted before the “new NHL” hit the ice. But GMGM has been shown to have had a size obsession (and a WHL obsession) at times.
And I’m with you on C-Bo and Aucoin, as you know.

and on that note… Victor Kozlov – I love the guy, but for his size and stickhandling ability, he’s the worst waste of that frame EVER! (just ahead of Todd Bertuzzi) that guy should’ve been the equivalent of Shaq to the NBA in his prime.

I am always favoring the most talented player (usually offensive).
For the first round my top three are (I am going to assume the top 15 from hockeynews are gone)
1. Zack Kassian
2. John Moore (yeah, defenseman…but very offensive and still strong defensively).
3. Chris Kreider
For the second round my top three are (I assumed the top 40 from hockeynews are gone)
1. Anton Burdasov (he reminds me of Evgeny Grachev who I wanted the Caps to take multiple times in his draft year….size/speed combo)
2. Zach Budish (sleeper of draft, could go in 1st if he has a good combine…could fall deep if he has any lingering effects).
3. Dmitiri Orlov (gotta love those offensive defenseman…always tough to find and this one may fall due to the lack of a Russian agreement)

He sounds pretty cool and his favorite player is Ovechkin. Let’s get him on Ovi’s right wing.
He needs a new shootout move though. "Shootout move: "Come in from the left side and shoot lower right" — doesn’t seem like a Nylander\Kozlov replacement in that department.
