agree. 2010 and 2011 drafts i liked much more.
only of these players i have seen is frk, but it seems like a weak group to me. frk could become similar to franzen, though.
there was a big thread about frk in the prospects section.

there are quite a lot of negative comments, including by writers and fans of halifax (frk's team).
hockey sense is very important, but it looks like most or all of these players have been criticized for lacking hockey sense or not having much. i know athanasiou and frk have been, and that also seems to be true of mckee and bodin.
de haas is one of the more interesting to me b/c a 2011 hockey news report of a prospects game seems to indicate he may be a fairly smart player with some upside.

but de haas could also just be a taller meech.
it may be better for mckee to switch back to F and become a physical checking W.

brian boyle is 6'7.
bodin may become taller, though.
