I love Windsor's top three picks...
Maletta at 1/13....Dekort at 2/8 and Smith at 2/17
Hunter Smith a Windsor native, growed up playing for the Junior Spits, is 6'5 200lbs at 15 years old....wow
Dekort is a great goalie prospect
and Maletta should be a star
Garlent is a very talented player, just small. He's really gonna have to beef up from his listed 150lbs.
With Guelph's need for some size and there need for depth at the center position, I can not believe they passed on Maletta.
Guelph has made 11 picks so far, 2 goalies, 1 defenceman and 8 forwards. I know GM Mike Kelly said they would be looking for a forward but damn.
P.S. In the fourth, Guelph drafted Tyler Bertuzzi. Does anyone know if he has any relation to Todd?
EDIT: Nvm, found out he's Todd's nephew. Would be a great if he makes the team because everyone in Guelph remembers how great it was having Todd play here.

OHL Draft Class of 2011: Top 10 Picks - Good breakdown of their talents
Sarnia Sting 2011 Draft Selections

Not surprised to see Nurse taken 3rd overall. He has star potential and could easily end up being better than EkbladOriginally Posted by FantasyGuru
I was also surprised to see Maletta fall so far in the draft. He's a steal for Windsor
Garlent is a huge offensive talent and Guelph needed that kind of player
Re: Ryan Kujawinski, I wasn't necessarily "not high on him" but I was cautious about him simply because he came out of nowhere this year. However, kids can explode onto the scene like that in a short period of time. A lot of scouts were extremely high on him. I haven't seen too much of him so I will be excited to see what he brings to the Sting. The Sting were seriously considering Subban and Bo Horvat with their 4th overall pick. I was EXTREMELY impressed with the Sting's draft. Maybe more teams should draft without a General Manager in place.

I heard that DeAngelo guy might not report.
All signs point to DeAngelo reporting but there is that possibility.
Traditionally, Sarnia isn't that attractive of a place to play in but with Yakupov and Galchenyuk playing here, players will be exposed to a TONNE of scouts. Scouts = Attractive City
Max Domi just tweeted that he doesn't plan on playing for Kingston and that he will head to the USHL next season. He deleted his tweet shortly after posting it.
@max_domi

Great pick Kingston! haha
it is a great pick.....
if any first rounder doesnt show they get compensated with a first round the following year
well worth the risk
Well I'd rather have the first this year to improve my team somewhat in the short term. Everyone knew Domi wouldn't play for an OHL team.
I thought for sure Gilmour and Domi (Tie, that is) had some sort of "insider" agreement that Max would play there. We see this all the time. Kids say they will go to the NCAA, teams with the early picks pass on them, and then some team with a pick later on grabs them and, oh guess what, they change their minds and decide to play in the CHL.
