Going to be on my Yackemchuk revenge tour for a while I can tell

Lindstrom of course.

Add Hemming to the list. And definitely Trevor Connelly. I have Connelly low but he's a wildcard that has potential to go really high so add him, some might have him soon.

Voted Lindstrom, but not proud of it. Could easily have gone for Yakemchuk, Iginla, or Helenius. I do think that we need size up front, as Foligno ages out of the roster. He's also fast. Size and speed are nice places to start for a prospect, and that's the reason i don't think there is any hope in hell that he will be around at #13.

I went with Lindstrom because I think he's the best player on the board. I am concerned about his health moving forward.

I don't think that he is the best player on the board, but he has physical tools that you like to see in a NHL player. Parekh, Iginla, Helenius, and probably Eiserman are better players right now, but have questions about their projectability as pros. Yakemchuk i don't know what to make of ... he might be really good.
