The ultimate sleeper would be Connor Hellebuyck, a massive (6-4, 185) netminder who plays in the unlikely destination of Odessa, Texas. He's a kid that we kept noticing every time we went to North American Hockey League tournaments to check out Anthony Stolarz. The 1993 birthdate is a classic case of a late bloomer who is raw as hell, but had the size and physical tools (quick feet, sharp glove) necessary to become a good prospect.

Sounds good to be. Take one of him Stepan/Slepyshev/Zlobin and I'll be happy.
Detroit grabs ANDREAS ATHANASIOU. They're NEVER afraid to take these high ranked kids who fall. And most work out. But Athanasiou could be just another Evan McGrath.
WTF! They cut to commercials when a trade is announced.
They really need something like a sidebar/seperate ticker to constantly update what is going on. It really takes away from watching on TV when you can't be updated on what's going on.
I love Detroit, but Athanasiou is a dumbass. Plenty of talent, but he's a birdbrain. Nothing going on upstairs. He doesn't know how to play, he just knows how to stick handle.
If I had to guess i'd say it'll be the obligatory yearly picked on whatever obscure European league player that our scouting staff really limed ala Hagelin, Fasth, Horak, Ceresnak.
