Posted 12:34 PM ET | Comments 1
8. Los Angeles Kings - Simon Edvinsson LHD (Frolunda, SHL). The Kings have one of the best farm systems and pluck Drew Doughty’s future d partner in the 6’4” Edvinsson. Although rankings vary Edvinsson could turn out to be an elite number one defenseman.
9. Vancouver Canucks - Kent Johnson C (Michigan, Big-10). The third top ten pick out of the University of Michigan is highly skilled center Kent Johnson. After tearing up the BCHL with 101 points in 52 games he went to U of M and put up 27 points in 26 games. Over a ppg as a freshman is impressive. The Canucks hope to find another Elias Pettersson in Johnson.
10. Ottawa Senators - Mason MacTavish C (Olten, SUI). With Tim Stutzle, Josh Norris and Drake Batherson taking huge steps this year, the future looks very bright. The only concern for the Sens going forward is the center ice position. They hope to fill that void with MacTavish, a physical two way forward who can also produce offensively.
11. Calgary Flames - Chaz Lucius C (USNTDP, USHL) Considered a top ten pick before knee injuries, Lucius is a right shot center who has a shoot first mentality. Reports are that his skating has improved after coming back from injury. The Flames snag a future top six forward to start their retool.
12. Chicago Blackhawks – Fabian Lysell RW (Lulea, SHL) Many say the Hawks need center ice help but with Toews and Dach returning from injury and Pius Suter’s great rookie year they have enough center depth. I see them diving into the SHL and plucking Lysell. Lysell is a speedy, skilled winger who produced three points in 26 games this season.
13. Philadelphia Flyers – Cole Sillinger C (Sioux Falls, USHL) Along with strong NHL bloodlines Sillinger brings a great shot and high hockey IQ. After a 53-point campaign in medicine Hat last year he followed it up with 46 points in 31 USHL games. The Flyers prepare for Claude Giroux’s departure by drafting the skilled center.
14. Dallas Stars – Carson Lambos LHD (JYP, Sm Liiga JR) The Dallas Stars have some high-end d men already with Miro Heiskanen and John Klingberg but why not add to it by drafting Lambos. Another projected top pick before heading over seas with the WHL season delayed, Lambos played well on the big ice in Finland. His stock would be way higher if he had a full WHL season this year.
15. New York Rangers – Nikita Chibrikov RW (SKA St. Petersburg, MHL) The Highly skilled Russian follows the Rangers trend of drafting high numbers of Europeans over the last few years. Chibrikov, the Russian u-18 team captain for the u-18 World Championships brings good speed and shooting ability to an already impressive farm, system.
