As for my draft favourite, that distinction goes to Matt Puempel of the Peterbrough Petes, he isn't a future superstar, but he has great puck skills and speed, and works hard for every inch of ice, much like another favourite of mine, Gabriel Landeskog. In a strong draft neither are surefire top 10 picks though, nevermind top 5...

Also keep an eye out for Sea Dogs defenceman, Nathan Beaulieu. He has hands like David Perron.

agreed, however i feel Rundblad is TERRIBLY overrated anyway.

I was a big fan last year, simply because of the offensive upside, but it's pretty clear that he has ALOT of developint to do on the defensive side before that potential can be realized.
