2011 Chicago Blackhawks Draft Grades
18. Chicago Blackhawks Mark McNeil C Prince Albert Raiders WHL Mark McNeil needs a year of experience in the WHL, but after that he should jump to the Blackhawks as a line 3 center with Dave Bolland playing the 4th line. This was the right range for Mark McNeil to get selected in so I [...]
Tweet2011 Montreal Canadians Draft Grades
17. Montreal Canadians Nathan Beaulieu D Saint John Sea Dogs QMJHL Beaulieu can be a #2 defender on line 1 and a quarterback on the power play. The Canadians have a strong penalty killing unit and their farm system is stacked with guys on the Hamilton Bulldogs in the AHL. Beaulieu is walking into a [...]
Tweet2011 Buffalo Sabres Draft Grades
16. Buffalo Sabres Joel Arima RW Assat SM Liiga Arima has bust written all over him. He only had 29 points in 48 games with Assat this season. He can be used on the inside or the outside as a two way forward playing anywhere on the offense. Arima can play center, left wing, or [...]
Tweet2011 New York Rangers Draft Grades
15. New York Rangers JT Miller C USHL JT Miller was projected to go 67th overall in my 2011 NHL Mock Draft. Its pretty clear the Rangers decided to let former Islanders GM Mike Milbury make this pick. What’s even worse about this selection is the Rangers didn’t pick again until round 3. Miller won’t [...]
Tweet2011 Dallas Stars Draft Grades
14. Dallas Stars Jamie Oleksiak D Northeastern Oleksiak is 6 foot 7 240 pounds. He is a raw project with the upside of a Zdeno Chara type defender. He won’t be on the Stars roster until 2014-2015. Oleksiak will reach his potential by that period. I love Oleksiak’s upside and long term potential so this [...]
Tweet2011 Calgary Flames Draft Grades
13. Calgary Flames Sven Bartschi LW Portland Winterhawks WHL Bartschi should be on the Flames for the 2012-2013 season next year. He will likely start out as a 3rd line left winger who could be a first line left winger by the time Iginla retires. Bartschi was hands down the best player available so I [...]
Tweet2011 Carolina Hurricanes Draft Grades
12. Carolina Hurricanes Ryan Murphy D Kitchner Rangers OHL I think besides Nugent Hopkins, Landeskog, Larsson, and Couturier Ryan Murphy has the best chance of playing in the NHL as a rookie. Murphy may be a project, but he has more upside and potential than Dougie Hamilton and that counts for something. Murphy was ranked [...]
Tweet2011 St. Louis Blues Draft Grades
32. St. Louis Blues from Colorado Avalanche Ty Rattie RW Portland Winterhawks WHL I had Rattie falling to this spot in one of my 2011 NHL Mock Drafts so this is a great value pick here in round 2. Sven Bartschi should have the better career, but some people had Rattie going higher than Bartschi [...]
Tweet2011 Minnesota Wild Draft Grades
10. Minnesota Wild Jonas Brodin D Farjestad Elitserien Brodin was not supposed to be selected this early. This is a major reach on Minnesota’s end. Brodin should play for the Houston Aeros this season in the AHL before going to Minnesota next year. I think Brodin is going to bust in the NHL. I really [...]
Tweet2011 Toronto Maple Leafs Draft Grades
22. Toronto Maple Leafs from Anaheim Ducks Tyler Biggs RW USHL I did a scouting report on Biggs and he’s a physical power forward who is mainly used for defense. Biggs doesn’t possess the offensive attributes to succeed at this point. Luckily Briggs won’t be up until 2014-2015. Plus with the players Toronto has under [...]
