Hoping his uncle can find an early 2nd and grab him.

Definitely a draft day sleeper is Adam. Be interesting to see where he lands.

i think he'll go later, maybe early 3rd round? hopefully to the Oilers.

You may very well get your wish, but I have a hunch he'll get snapped up in the 2nd at some point. Who really knows though.

LD Adam Pelech - Erie Otters

Couldn't find an existing thread on Adam Pelech. Anyone have reports on his progress? Looks to be having a nice year statistically. Must be nice playing the PP with McDavid. Any chance he makes the WJC team?

I'd say his World Junior chances are high, got a nice look last year. Not a flashy guy but strong all around defenseman.

As an Islanders fan it would be pretty sweet seeing Reinhart, Pulock and Pelech on the world junior team. My guess is Pelech might get consideration for the obligatory defensive specialist that most don't include on their lists because they pick the 7 best defensemen(all who happen to be offensive specialist), not sure who else will be fighting for that spot(although I guess one might make an argument Reinhart is that guy already).
