I'm a Montreal Canadians fan. If you have to redraft, there's no doubt the top 3 Should be Pa
Andre V, Philip Forsburg and Tom Wilson.
Some information is a little out of date. Faska is with St. Louis now, and Girgensons is with Tampa.
Most top pick were very good in their leagues and also performed well in WJC. Still I was surprised Vasy didn't get picked in top 10. A teenager who could easily play in KHL, his athletic ability and skill reminded something of Khabibulin. Also I was certain F.Forsberg would be picked earlier.
