#51. Johan Larsson | LW | Brynas Jr. (SELIT)
Date of Birth: July 25th, 1992 Height: 5.10Weight: 200lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 40GP 15G 19A 34P 80PIM Playoffs | 5GP 1G 1A 2P 2PIM TSR Midterm Rank: NR | Position Rank: 38th Forwards League Rank: 2nd SELIT | Country Rank: 3rd Sweden
Larsson isn’t the most flashy player, but his supreme work ethic and willingness to compete are both attributes that make him a quality prospect. He was exceptional in the Under 18′s for Sweden, notching 14 points in only 5 games, and could see his stock climb even higher on draft day as he’s a player who has really made a name for himself recently.
—————
#52. Geoffrey Schemitsch | D | Owen Sound (OHL)
Date of Birth: April 1st, 1992 Height: 6.01 Weight: 180lbs. Shoots: R Season Statistics: Regular Season | 62GP 4G 36A 40P 26PIM Playoffs | n/a TSR Midterm Rank: 40 | Position Rank: 12th Defensemen League Rank: 14th OHL | Country Rank: 23rd Canada
One of the big surprises of the 2009/2010 OHL Season, Schemitsch had a tremendous season after seemingly coming out of nowhere. He’s one of the better puck moving defensemen in the draft and has tremendous poise and composure. There are still some flaws in his game, such as defensive positioning and adding strength, but he has a ton of upside moving forward.
—————
#53. Tom Kühnhackl | RW | Landshut (GERD2)
Date of Birth: January 21st, 1992 Height: 6.02Weight: 175lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 38GP 12G 9A 21P 38PIM Playoffs | 6GP 0G 0A 0P 2PIM TSR Midterm Rank: 51 | Position Rank: 39th Forwards League Rank: 1st GERD2 | Country Rank: 1st Germany
He’s a big forward who moves well and has a solid goal scoring touch. Some may have expected more from the German this season, but he still managed to produce well playing in a Men’s league. He’ll be transitioning over the pond to Windsor next year, where many North Americans will have a better gauge on his development.
—————
#54. Brandon Davidson | D | Regina (WHL)
Date of Birth: August 21st, 1991 Height: 6.02 Weight: 194lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 59GP 1G 32A 33P 37PIM - Playoffs | n/a TSR Midterm Rank: 54 | Position Rank: 13th Defensemen | League Rank: 13th WHL | Country Rank: 24th Canada
Davidson is a player who you probably won’t notice much on the ice, which caters well to his style of play. He’s not overly physical and he won’t blow you away with any puck skills, but he simply does a good job of executing his role. He moves the puck well up the ice, is rarely caught out of position, and is a dependable defenseman who can be effective in any situation.
—————
#55. Brock Beukeboom | D | Sault Ste. Marie (OHL)
Date of Birth: April 1st, 1992 Height: 6.02 Weight: 199lbs. Shoots: R Season Statistics: Regular Season | 66GP 7G 19A 26P 64PIM Playoffs | 1GP 0G 0A 0P 0PIM TSR Midterm Rank: 44 | Position Rank: 14th Defensemen League Rank: 15th OHL | Country Rank: 25th Canada
Beukeboom exploded out of the gates this season before cooling down and now settling in as a projected late second round pick. He’s got a lot of good skills, but has struggled to find an identity in his game. When he uses his size and physicality more, he’s a lot more effective as a reliable two-way defenseman who can chip in offensively as well.

#56. Mark Alt | D | Cretin-Derham (HS-MIN)
Date of Birth: October 18th, 1991 Height: 6.03 Weight: 199lbs. Shoots: R Season Statistics: Regular Season | 22GP 6G 9A 15P 12PIM Playoffs | n/a TSR Midterm Rank: NR | Position Rank: 15th Defensemen League Rank: 3rd HS-MIN | Country Rank: 18th USA
The Cretin-Derham defenseman is still very raw despite being a late 91, although it won’t be a huge concern for NHL teams. His combination of size and ability to dictate the pace of the play are both qualities that give him a lot of potential moving forward. He’ll be attending the University of Minnesota where he will be best served with at least three years of development.
—————
#57. Curtis Hamilton | LW | Saskatoon (WHL)
Date of Birth: December 4th, 1991 Height: 6.03 Weight: 202lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 26GP 7G 9A 16P 6PIM Playoffs | 5GP 2G 1A 3P 6PIM TSR Midterm Rank: NR | Position Rank: 40th Forwards League Rank: 14th WHL | Country Rank: 26th Canada
Has flown somewhat under the radar this season, especially after missing substantial time with injuries, including a broken collarbone. He’s a big forward who moves well and projects to be an effective third line winger who can compete hard and bring a physical element to his team.
—————
#58. Steven Shipley | C | Owen Sound (OHL)
Date of Birth: April 22nd, 1992 Height: 6.02 Weight: 200lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 68GP 23G 40A 63P 32PIM Playoffs | n/a TSR Midterm Rank: NR | Position Rank: 41st Forwards League Rank: 16th OHL | Country Rank: 27th Canada
Shipley’s stock has been hit or miss this season, despite having a very productive sophomore year. His offensive skill level is pretty high and he does have good size, but his skating is a major concern when assessing his NHL potential. It wouldn’t be a shock to see him go a touch higher than this, but he’ll really need to work on his skating the next couple of years if he wants to be a legitimate NHL prospect.
—————
#59. Maxim Kitsyn | LW | Novokuznetsk (KHL)
Date of Birth: December 24th, 1991 Height: 6.02 Weight: 194lbs. Shoots: R Season Statistics: Regular Season | 21GP 1G 1A 2P 12PIM Playoffs | n/a TSR Midterm Rank: 42 | Position Rank: 42nd Forwards League Rank: 3rd KHL | Country Rank: 6th Russia
One of the more talented forwards in the draft with some of the best hands, Kitsyn has been a bit of an enigma this year. Once considered to be a surefire first round talent, Kitsyn bounced between the KHL and MHL this season and wasn’t overly impressive at the World Juniors. Despite the typical Russian concerns, Kitsyn could be a high reward type selection in the second round.
—————
#60. Kent Simpson | G | Everett (WHL)
Date of Birth: March 26th, 1992 Height: 6.01 Weight: 183lbs. Catches: R Season Statistics: Regular Season | 22-9-1-0 2.26GAA .925SV% 1SO Playoffs | 2-3-0 2.62GAA .908SV% 1SO TSR Midterm Rank: NR | Position Rank: 3rd Goalies League Rank: 15th WHL | Country Rank: 28th Canada
Simpson is a very solid technical goalie who doesn’t have an abundance of weaknesses in his game. He was very steady for Everett this year, and parlayed his strong play into an appearance with the Canadian Under 18 team. Despite some shaky play there, he has solidified himself as the third best goalie available and should go in the late second round as a result of a weak draft for goaltenders.
—————
Simpson was strong in goal for Everett this year as a 17 year old.
—————
#61. Devante Smith-Pelly | LW | Mississauga (OHL)
Date of Birth: June 14th, 1992 Height: 5.11 Weight: 180lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 60GP 29G 33A 62P 35PIM Playoffs | 16GP 8G 6A 14P 20PIM TSR Midterm Rank: 38 | Position Rank: 43rd Forwards League Rank: 17th OHL | Country Rank: 29th Canada
Smith-Pelly made some big strides early, almost putting himself into first round contention, but slowed down a bit as the season progressed. He’s got some grit in his game, and is willing to pay the price occasionally, but his consistency is a bit of a concern. His fitness level has been questioned by some, and will be another concern he will need to address in the near future.
—————
#62. Jakub Culek | C | Rimouski (QMJHL)
Date of Birth: September 7th, 1992 Height: 6.04 Weight: 195lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 63GP 13G 34A 47P 54PIM Playoffs | 12GP 6G 3A 9P 4PIM TSR Midterm Rank: 35 | Position Rank: 44th Forwards League Rank: 5th QMJHL | Country Rank: 2nd Czech Republic
He has a prototypical package of great size, good speed and potential moving forward, but failed to put it together as the season wore on. He’s one of the youngest players in the draft, however, and will be a solid addition to any prospect pool at this point in the draft.
—————
#63. Martin Marincin | D | Slovakia U20 (SLO)
Date of Birth: February 18th, 1992 Height: 6.04 Weight: 187lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 24GP 2G 3A 5P 30PIM Playoffs | n/a TSR Midterm Rank: NR | Position Rank: 16th Defensemen League Rank: 1st SLO | Country Rank: 1st Slovakia
Made some head waves for himself after a good showing at the Under 18′s this year, and has put himself back on the prospect radar. He also appeared in the World Juniors as a 17 year old for Slovakia. Marincin is a big defender who can play with a physical edge and could even hear his name in round two if a team really likes the package he brings to the table.
—————
#64. Dalton Smith | LW | Ottawa (OHL)
Date of Birth: June 30th, 1992 Height: 6.01 Weight: 195lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 62GP 21G 23A 44P 129PIM Playoffs | 12GP 3G 3A 6P 27PIM TSR Midterm Rank: 55 | Position Rank: 45th Forward League Rank: 18th OHL | Country Rank: 30th Canada
His name has been tossed around at a lot of different places in the draft, but it’s hard to envision a team letting him slip much further than this. His skating is a major concern, but it has been improving, but there’s a lot more to his game. Smith is a very physical player and will drop the gloves whenever he has to. He’s got some offensive skill and is willing to take the puck to the net. He’s a player with good upside moving forward and has a pro style game.
—————
#65. Stephen Silas | D | Belleville (OHL)
Date of Birth: June 26th, 1992 Height: 6.00 Weight: 190lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 66GP 4G 45A 49P 61PIM Playoffs | n/a TSR Midterm Rank: 56 | Position Rank: 17th Defensemen League Rank: 19th OHL | Country Rank: 31st Canada
A very similar player to his teammate, Shawn Lalonde, Silas is also going to project to go around the same point in the NHL Entry Draft as Lalonde. He’s a very smooth skater with great puck moving capabilities, which are especially emphasized on the big ice in Belleville. His defensive game needs considerable refinement, however, which will be the likely catalyst that pushes him to the early third round.

#66. Brandon Archibald | D | Sault Ste. Marie (OHL)
Date of Birth: March 31st, 1992 Height: 6.03 Weight: 200lbs. Shoots: R Season Statistics: Regular Season | 68GP 5G 28A 33P 81PIM Playoffs | 5GP 1G 1A 2P 6PIM TSR Midterm Rank: 53 | Position Rank:18th Defensemen League Rank: 20th OHL | Country Rank: 32nd Canada
An intriguing prospect who logged a lot of big minutes for the Greyhounds last season. He’s a good skater who found a bit of an offensive touch this year with a bigger opportunity. He’s an effective stick checker, but is still prone to over committing on the man in the defensive zone. He’ll definitely be a player that will be worth following in the next couple of seasons.
—————
#67. Ryan Martindale | C | Ottawa (OHL)
Date of Birth: October 27th, 1991 Height: 6.03 Weight: 182lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 61GP 19G 41A 60P 37PIM Playoffs | 12GP 4G 5A 9P 6PIM TSR Midterm Rank: 45 | Position Rank:46th Forward League Rank: 21st OHL | Country Rank: 33rd Canada
Martindale has first round skill coupled with late round competitiveness. At times he can dominate a game, and at other times, you will struggle to realize he’s on the ice. Martindale could be a steal if he can find some passion and drive in his game and utilize his size, but if he doesn’t he’ll have a rough adjustment to professional hockey.
—————
#68. Austin Madaisky | D | Kamloops (WHL)
Date of Birth: January 30th, 1992 Height: 6.02 Weight: 199lbs. Shoots: R Season Statistics: Regular Season | 65GP 7G 20A 27P 74PIM Playoffs | 4GP 3G 3A 6P 6PIM TSR Midterm Rank: 58 | Position Rank:19th Defensemen League Rank: 16th WHL | Country Rank: 34th Canada
Madaisky has had a good opportunity to raise his awareness after being dealt to the Kamploops Blazers in a mid-season deal. He’s a very reliable player defensively, but really showed his offensive side in an increased role with the Blazers.
—————
#69. Justin Faulk | D | USNTDP (USHL)
Date of Birth: March 20th, 1992 Height: 6.00 Weight: 196lbs. Shoots: R Season Statistics: Regular Season | 21GP 9G 3A 12P 46PIM Playoffs | n/a TSR Midterm Rank: 52 | Position Rank:20th Defensemen League Rank: 8th USHL | Country Rank: 19th USA
Faulk’s fitness level has been something that has dogged him all year despite a fairly noteworthy season. He’s got great offensive tools, including a good shot, and makes very good decisions with the puck. He’ll be attending the University of Minnesota-Duluth, where he’ll have a good opportunity to play against stronger players which will help aid his development.
—————
#70. Kevin Sundher | C | Chilliwack (WHL)
Date of Birth: January 18th, 1992 Height: 6.00 Weight: 188lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 72GP 25G 36A 61P 101PIM Playoffs | 6GP 3G 2A 5P 4PIM TSR Midterm Rank: NR | Position Rank:47th Forward League Rank: 17th WHL | Country Rank: 35th Canada
Another prospect that really flew under the radar despite an impressive season, Sundher is a guy that projects to be a good professional player. He’s pretty creative and was one of the only offensive catalysts on a weak Bruins team this year. He also has some grit in his game, and isn’t afraid of the dirty areas on the ice.

#71. Andrew Yogan | C | Erie (OHL)
Date of Birth: December 4th, 1991 Height: 6.03 Weight: 202lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 63GP 25G 30A 55P 97PIM Playoffs | n/a TSR Midterm Rank: 60 | Position Rank:48th Forward League Rank: 22nd OHL | Country Rank: 20th USA
Like Martindale, Yogan is another player with first round skills that will likely slip a bit in the draft. He’s a great skater for his size and has good offensive tools, although his finish is questionable. The main factor that will dog his draft stock is his lack of hockey sense and inability to effectively use his teammates.
—————
#72. Connor Brickley | C | Des Moines (USHL)
Date of Birth: February 25th, 1992 Height: 6.00 Weight: 190lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 52GP 22G 21A 43P 68PIM Playoffs | n/a TSR Midterm Rank: NR | Position Rank: 49th Forwards League Rank: 9th USHL | Country Rank: 21st USA
Brickley has size and offensive ability which could elevate him into the top two rounds. He does, however, need to work on competing harder for loose pucks and battling in the corners more. He’s committed to the University of Vermont for the fall of 2011, and is a player who still has a lot of potential to improve in the next few years.
—————
#73. Ivan Telegin | LW | Saginaw (OHL)
Date of Birth: February 28th, 1992 Height: 6.03 Weight: 185lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 51GP 26G 18A 44P 20PIM Playoffs | 6GP 1G 1A 2P 6PIM TSR Midterm Rank: 34 | Position Rank:50th Forward League Rank: 23rd OHL | Country Rank: 7th Russia
Telegin was a bit of a revelation at mid-season, but struggled to keep up his strong goal scoring pace throughout the second half. He’s a big guy who isn’t afraid to stand in front of the net and generates a lot of his offense from that area. His overall effectiveness, however, is a bit of a concern, and will likely hinder where he is selected.
—————
#74. Joonas Donskoi | RW | Karpat Jrs (FINJR)
Date of Birth: April 12th, 1992 Height: 6.00 Weight: 180lbs. Shoots: R Season Statistics: Regular Season | 18GP 14G 15A 29P 2PIM Playoffs | 12GP 5G 10A 15P 4PIM TSR Midterm Rank: NR | Position Rank:51st Forward League Rank: 1st FINJR | Country Rank: 3rd Finland
Donskoi has been hidden beneath the shadows of Mikael Granlund and Teemu Pulkkinen this year, but has still developed into a solid prospect. He was very strong in the Jr A. SM-Liiga and also saw time with Karpat in the SM-Liiga as his quality offensive skills allowed him to make the jump to a higher level as a 17 year old.
—————
#75. Patrick McNally| D | Milton Academy (HS-MA)
Date of Birth: December 4th, 1991 Height: 6.02 Weight: 180lbs. Shoots: L Season Statistics: Regular Season | 27GP 14G 20A 34P Playoffs |n/a TSR Midterm Rank: NR | Position Rank:21st Defensemen League Rank: 2nd HS-MA | Country Rank: 2nd USA
McNally showed considerable signs of improvement in his game this year, developing into an effective defenseman with good offensive skills. He’s currently committed to Harvard University in 2011, and will be a long-range prospect.
