2010 Prospects Article...

Ben Duffy should be on that list. He will be a star in the NHL some day....

Yep. I saw Duffy the other night. Very quick feet, smooth skater, smart with the puck, patient and with a goal scorer\'s touch.

Two American blueliners should be on the radar too. Cam Fowler and Jon Merrill. They\'re up there with Gudbranson and Gormley right now. Next two years will generate a lot of excitement about this draft.

I\'ll add John McFarland to the list.

I can\'t do everyone in one article :P

McFarland, Duffy, Quinton Howden, Merrill, Fowler, Andy Iles, Mark Pysyk, Kevin Sundher, Victor Ohman, David Musil, Luke Moffat... I\'ll try and talk about all of them at some point.

Sundher is interesting in Chilliwack. I\'ve watched him play a few times. Great rushes - like a punt returner in football - dodging players left and right. A bit of a puck hog, but actually makes a play more often than not and does actually pass the puck once in a while too. Very small though, for what that\'s worth. Bounces up like a jackrabbit when he\'s hit. Needing development, size, strength etc.... but if he stays on that course, he\'ll be a great player. Another to watch for the Chilliwack Bruins is Ryan Howse. Big tough kid with great hands. Sees the ice well. Got his bell rung in Prince George the other night, so he\'s out right now, but another one from the \'wack to keep an eye on. Now that Santorelli is gone, some of these guys will start getting tons of ice-time. Moller should be back after his 9 games in LA I think.

Yeah, we know Mr. Bugg. Not complaining, just providing grist for the mill.

As for David Musil, he\'s a 1993 birthdate and is not eligible until 2011.

Here\'s a link to recent U-17 Five Nations tourney in Slovakia which shows Czech roster.

Also, here\'s David Musil\'s stats page on Czech hockey website. Apologize for it being in Czech, but it doesn\'t appear to have an option to switch to English like some Euro hockey sites.
