It's got to be the work of Mike Smith... how long was he there?

He sure left his mark.

Certainly some good names in there, though. The russian 4 (Vorobiev, Radulov, Yakubov, Kojevniknov) look like they will all be good players (three of them have already hit the NHL). Levinski and Ivanov have much less of a chance, but still have a chance.

M Keith and Ellison (and Bubba Byfuglien, a F/D) are our only good n american forward prospects. Both are in the AHL, but look like they have NHL talent. None of our USA selections are any good.

Nordqvist looked like a sure fire NHL player a few years ago, but now he'll be fighting for a spot.

Treille just plain sucks.
