newfy 695 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=68892&navid=DL|NHL|home The final rankings have been released for this years draft. Looking at the list it looks like big, tough powerforward Tyler Biggs could fall pretty close to where the wings are picking. Same with JT Miller who is ranked right behind him. Also surprising to see Courturier fall out of the top 5? I tihnk this may be a case of people getting to watch him so much becaus ehe was highly touted and they start noticing more flaws in his game. Assuming the wings have a fairly deep playoff run, guys from about 22 and down on this list should mostly be in play when the wings pick because there will also be probably 4 or 5 Euros that go earlier than those guys in the draft as well. Larsson, Zibanejad, Armia and Brodin should definitely be gone first and Jaskin should be right in the same area I would think. There may also be a goalie or 2 taken earlier as well. Looking at that list who do you guys wanna see drafted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 If we draft Jamieson Oleksiak and Troy Vance, we'll have an unbeatable defense. If we are lucky enough to have Oleksiak fall to the wings pick, I dont see how they dont take him especially with the bit of a lack at defense we have in the pipe line. David Musil could be a good pick up too with a second rounder, he has really dropped a lot since the start of the year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has really improved over the course of the season and keeps moving up as well. 6 fights this year as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
