    Klefbom is a good option. I might try Philip Danault too

    I don't know much about Tynan.

    Other notables with decent upside: Noesen, Rakell, Catenacci

    I'd be considering Shane Prince or Brett Ritchie. Both carry some risk but the available D/G is not worth much in terms of fantasy value. Oleksiak, Siemens and Brodin would be your best choices at D.

    DY - I'm researching all your players. I feel so smart learning about prospects.
    I've been checking your mock draft daily too... LOVE it!

    I picked Stefan Noesen. I like the PIM. I hope he translates that to the NHL.
    Thanks DY (and others too - for input!)

    Gotta be Klefbom, he's a steal at this point!

    Don't touch Ambroz, he's a dud.

    Edit: nvm you picked Noesen.

    Just curious what you might have read on Klefbom to be as high as you are on him. From what I've read he's comparable to Jonathan Ericsson with limited offensive upside. If you can share another viewpoint I'd like to read it. Also, how do you peg Jonas Brodin as an NHLer down the road?

    Klefbom is just the opposite of Ericsson, I believe. He's great puck rusher and has a great shot. This is just an example of analysis from Hockey Prospect's Draft Guide:

    Despite the offensive skills that an Adam Larsson possesses, Klefbom probably has the biggest upside when it comes to rush the puck and blasting it from the blueline. Klefbom plays a very aggressive brand of hockey. He is more of a do-er while Brodin and Larsson are much more cerebralplayers.
    I am not ridiculously high on him, but most scouts seem to be and I think in this draft he is being overlooked. I was impressed by him in the SEL final and the U-18.

    This is what Kirk Luedeke has to say about him (he was at the combine as well):

    Klefbom interviewed with 28 teams this week and will be in demand as one of the purest puck rushers and offensively skilled d-men in class. Klefbom also plays with an edge and is more physical. Has the kind of personality that will make him a huge hit with the fans for sure.
    Don't know too much about Brodin, but Klefbom will probably be drafted before him. Klefbom should be drafted anywhere from 10-20.

    I'm officially confused about Klefbom. I've heard a lot of people talk about his offensive-upside and how he might be one of the top offensive d-men in the draft. Then I've also heard he has almost no puck skill at all and will be a very good shutdown d-man in the league.

    Whoever saying he has no puck skill doesn't know what they're talking about. Everything I've read, and from the few games I've watched, says he is one of the best PMD in this draft class.

    BUMP of the DAY.
    This entry draft (2011) was my first prospect draft in my first dynasty.
    Boy... I've learned a lot since then...
    Ryan Murphy (1st rd), Khokhlachev (2nd rd), Noesen (3rd rd).... ugh.

    [FWIW, I did land Klefbom in round 4, Brett Ritchie in round 5.)
