thought it was interesting that I also read on Yahoo and saw on CC that Don Cherry thinks Ryan Murphy will go first overall.

The kid is tearing it up from the blueline this year and he is only ranked eigth on the CS list in the OHL and grapes thinks he will go first overall. I know the kid is from Kingston and Cherry loves the K-town so it must be taken with a grain of salt. But my point is that if a guy ranked 8th in the OHL scouting list has the potential to go first overall (according to grapes) than i think it will be quite a strong draft year.
