1st Rd Who transitions this year?

[Big Ev]

Was that confirmed?

yes, he has two more years left on his deal with Sparta Prague

[Dean Youngblood]

Locks (or almost 'locks'): Yakupov & Ryan Murray

9 Game Stints: Galchenyuk (could surprise but I can't see them rushing him with his knee injury; the talent is certainly there though so I won't be surprised), Reinhart (are the Islanders desperate enough?), Trouba, Grigorenko (I could see him stepping in but another yr of Q hockey wouldn't hurt), Ceci, Faksa (depends on how much Dallas retools....which is expected), Skjei (keep an eye on him, he's very poised), Matteau (not a ton of competition)

I also don't feel that we will see many 2012 in the NHL next season - maybe 3 or 4

Trouba is going to Michigan so he can't play any games or even go to camp.
