Take your choice of undersized goalies (Havelid and Brochu I thought merited selections)

 

[Killerjas]

Tyler Duke

 

[Nevins]

Logan Morrison

 

[JohnWillow]

Niks Feņenko.

D-guy witg 40 points in his rookie year at the QMJHL, still 17 years old. That's a big surprise to me.

 

[BigRangy]

Not that i think he’s incredible, but surprised Spencer Sova didn’t get drafted. Played a big role at the u18s for Canada.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Hugo Hävelid, best goalie at U18's
F Tim Almgren

Logan Morrison. Watched most of Hamilton's playoffs for Xhekaj and Mysak, and I was consistently impressed by him.

I'm really baffled he went undrafted. Getting 100points in the regular season, with a monster playoffs performance in his D+1 is nothing to scoff.

 

[Jukurit]

Elmeri Laakso

 

[Cubebrick]

I'm surprised that no one took a gamble on Martin Johnsen. I also feel like Pano Fimis and Spencer Sova should've been drafted above some of the late rounders who got picked.

Echoing Almgren, & Hugo Hävelid.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Ilya Kvochko is a player I liked a lot that went undrafted

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Jere Lassila
Kasper Lundell

Well I got the top 10 Finns right thou in wrong order should have just stopped there.... Thou im surprised nobody took Tommi Männistö good 4th line grinder

42. Maddox Fleming-C

didn't realize he was eligible for this year, surprising he didn't get picked

I think once he left the NTDP that was probably it for him getting drafted. They have a lot of sway with NHL teams, and it seems like he probably didn't leave so amicably, although thats only a guess. Maybe he has some character problems that we don't know about, but I think he has top 6 upside.

 

[Hallzy]

Kocha Delic and Evan Konyen, thought thwy would go between 4-6

Fraser Minten got drafted early 2nd round by Toronto.

I thought Fleming and Duke would at least get drafted in the 7th. I wasn’t high on Fleming, but I do feel like he has more potential than some other guys that were taken.
