next yrs draft and onward?

[newper114]

we know this yrs entry draft is dominated by hedman and tavarez. what about in 2010 or 2011 are there any stand out guys like tavarez, crosby, malkin... lvl of players?

Taylor Hall in 2010....remember that name cause he\'s going to be something IMO.

I feel 2011 is too far away to really judge properly. Look at Esposito and players like that who were touted highly at that age and kinda fizzled out.

I hate to give away all my secrets, but here is a list of guys I like for the 2010 draft:

T. Hall
K. Kabanov
T. Pulkkinen
M. Granlund
M. Kitsyn
C. Fowler (D)
E. Gudbranson (D)

Right now it looks like first overall is a battle between Kabanov and Hall, with Hall having a bit of an edge at the moment. As always, a lot will change between now and draft day, though.

As for 2011, like jlucas09 said, it is a long way away, but there are a few names making some early noise.

S. Couturier
M. St. Croix
R. Nugent-Hopkins
B. Benson

Personally I think the 2011 draft is so unsettled that I wouldn\'t recommend grabbing any of those guys right now (even though I selected Couturier last year...a decision that I now regret).
