I don’t have the top 10 in the same order you do, and I think that some team grabs Broberg in the top 10 but let’s say it’s close.

Of the next 5 or so guys I would choose one of (not in order):

1) Newhook- hard to judge given level of competition, but lightning fast guy who may not have quite the hockey sense others do
2) Soderstrom - very steady RHD
3) Brink - again lightning fast, good hockey sense but on the small side
4) York - top D from the USNTDP

I suspect one of the top 10 guys outlined will fall and somebody random will go top 10-15, as it seems to be happening in recent drafts (Hayton, Dubois, Senyshyn, DeBrusk, etc) so a good player will be around wherever the Nucks pick.

I figure we can revisit this debate in 15 days or so given the Nucks have 8 games in 13 days starting tomorrow, with no more than 1 day off and a couple of back to backs that I figure will drop them down in the standings a few spots. Would be nice if I was wrong.

Newhook:
Savvy scorer with exceptional foot speed, and is constantly driving up ice and has a good shot, great passing abilities and a high hockey IQ.

Smart quick undersized wing who is very strong, deceptive, has tremendously fast stick handling ability and a tenacious 200 foot stick-to-it-ness that makes him a constant threat to score.

He has both a power and speed game that brings fans of of the their seats. A tenacious forechecker who extends zone time for his team by not letting the defending team room to get out.

Bursts in and by defenders and makes moves at top speed and isn’t deterred in small areas avoiding poke checks and blowing by defenders and then even placing himself on a route towards the next one, only to reach around coverage and continue the attack.

He isn’t a shrinking violet in the other two zones either, where he providers backside pressure and uses his speed to get back pucks.Really strong and can use his strength to take charge too. Committed to Boston College.

Which is why one should never underestimate high skill in the BCHL ala 5'11-185lbs C Alexander Newhook if the Canucks get a mid round selection.

Broberg is a mystery, big smooth skating player but zero offence, sounds like a Tanev which isn’t a bad thing

I like Newhook’s game, weird they are calling him undersized though as he’s listed at 190 pounds and looks every bit that weight. I guess because he’s ‘only’ 5’11”?

I think there are some layers ahead of him but if we are picking 12-15 he’s a nice choice.
