More 2011 NHL Draft Notables

PostDateIcon Tue, 2011-06-21 18:23 | PostAuthorIcon Russ_Cohen

Jordan Binnington – 6-2, 160 – G – Loves the spotlight, he moves fast. He has a lot of the tools necessary to be an NHL goalie. He battles, he gives his team confidence. He’s very cagy. He needs to get stronger from his core on up.
Chris Gibson – 6-1, 198- G –Solid player in the “Q” and won some league mention during the season for his outstanding play. Finnish kid, stands tall when he plays. Very athletic, strong. Fast glove, plays the angles well.

Connor Murphy - 6-3, 185 – D – Way too skinny at this point in time. He has to add bulk in the future. Has some offensive upside for sure, how much? Only time will tell.
Keegan Lowe – 6-0, 172 –D - His dad Kevin won Six Stanley Cups. He’s a tough kid, who can hold his own and play a relentless brand of defense. Knows how to lay a hit. He can chip in a bit of offense as well.
Stefan Stepanov, 6-1, 170 – D – He was very offensive in International play. He has a lot of upside, mostly offensive and should be an NHL player someday. Won’t be surprised if he’s an early second rounder.
Tyler Biggs – 6-2, 207 – RW – Won gold for Team USA in the U-18’s in 2010. He’s NHL tough, but whether or not he can score at that level is the question that will take years to answer. Captain material but not sure about first-round material.
Michael Houser –6-1, 185 - G – 2011 eligible. He’s very fast from the ground back up. Good in traffic. Can get caught cheating off the post, He’s not hugging it enough.
Robbie Russo – 6-0, 190 - D – He positions himself well. Has top pairing ability. Plays the point on the power play. Has a hard accurate shot. He’s an excellent passer. He knows where to position himself.
– T.J. Tynan (was previously undrafted) – 5-9, 170 – RW – He’s relentless, good skater, good shot, 5-9 but fights for every square inch of ice. 53pts in 43 games in college this year. Good puck distributor on power play. 2011 Draft Eligible wasn’t taken in 2010.
J.T. Miller – 6-0, 200 – C/W - Good Speed, good passer. He has moxy..Good two-way player.
Nikita Kucherov – 5-10. 163 – W – He plays in front of the net. Has a wicked fast shot in the slot.
Maxim Shalunov – 6-3, 185 – RW – This kid is fast and can hone in on the net by turning the corner. One-on-one he can burn goalies.
Markus Granlund – 5-10, 169 – C – He has great stick and puck control. He can score. A slippery player.
Victor Rask – 6-2, 194 – C - Can cover a lot of ground on the larger ice surface. He would take some time to get used to a North American game.
Jacob DeSerres – 6-2, 195 – G - Was once a Flyers prospect but they cut ties with him. After winning the Memorial Cup with Saint John, he is now thrown back into the draft pool. He uses his size well, doesn’t waste a lot of movement and has gotten faster in the last year.
