33 on Pronman’s list
Hoen missed most of the season due to a torn knee ligament, but when healthy, he’s been great at the Swedish junior level and got some SHL time. He's a tall, fast winger with a great shot. His game lacks east-west playmaking, but he has good hands and can beat opponents with skill. He works hard enough, although he's not overly physical. Lagerberg projects as a middle-six winger due to his great combination of traits, and if healthy, there’s intriguing upside to be a legit scorer at the next level.
Hurlbert was 20 on Wheeler’s list and 18 on Pronman’s.

The second round started

The PNES got the other Ruck twin

The Devils got Vanhanen, who seemed like a good option.

Hakansson still around with the Wings five picks off

The Canes take Hakansson which makes me think the Wings should’ve taken Hakansson

We have our first NHL-caliber trade of the day, with the Maple Leafs flipping Carlo to St. Louis for two third-rounders.

Asset management!

And now Alex Taillefer to Jets. Will be very interesting to see how many of the top Q 2008s get picked in the late rounds.

I played against Marty Turco in the Soo! My friend's Dad was his coach and it was before he was a full time goalie, lol.

Was he an asshole playing out? I feel like every goalie I’ve encountered playing out just wants to commit penalties.

Sounds like the Leafs took some interesting dmen including the then-undrafted / now-overage guy who was on the last Canada WJC team
