Top Five Nhl Draft Prospects
The younger brother of 2008 top-five NHL betting draft pick Luke, Brayden doesn't have the same size and strength, though it's not too late for him to fill out. He has good goal-scoring touch for a center and could develop into a power forward in the mold of Eric Staal.
The fast, slick-skating center was a late addition to Canada's World Junior Championship team a few months ago nhl jerseys wholesale didn't disappoint, notching six points in six games. A gifted sniper nhl jerseys wholesale physical forechecker despite his relatively small build, he's the kind of player every team would want.
3. Matt Duchene - center, Brampton Battalion (OHL)
Here's yet another smallish center who gets by on blinding speed. Duchene is living in John Tavares' shadow entering the 2009 NHL betting draft, but some hockey fans are betting at the sportsbook that Duchene could leap to the top pick. I wouldn't bet on it, but no one can deny Duchene's skillset, which is comparable to Patrick Kane or, because of his goal-scoring ability, Jonathan Toews.
2. Victor Hedman - defenseman, MoDo (SweJE)
Now, we get to the "big two" nhl jerseys wholesale we start with the towering Hedman. Scouts see aspects of Zdeno Chara, Chris Pronger, Jay Bouwmeester nhl jerseys wholesale even Nicklas Lidstrom in him,any team would be thrilled if Hedman embodied just one of those players. He's a beast but he can already skate at an elite level, meaning he's more like Chara 2009 than Chara 1999. No online betting fan could blame an NHL team for passing on John Tavares for Hedman; he's the type of physical specimen no team will give up on even if his NHL career starts rockily. A future 30-minute-per-game pillar.
He's the big prize, arguably the most hyped prospect since the Malkin-Crosby-Ovechkin drafts, nhl jerseys wholesale the reason so many teams want to win the NHL draft lottery. Scouts definitely question his skating, but the fact that he puts up astronomical offensive numbers despite his physical limitations suggests he could become one of those truly special scorers who uses his vision nhl jerseys wholesale anticipation to find the net again nhl jerseys wholesale again. He's listed at 6'0" but he plays bigger, not in his hitting ability but in the way he uses his frame to protect the puck.
