I would have agreed with this a few weeks ago. Now, I'm not so sure. If anyone watched the WHC I would suggest that you had to be impressed with this 18 year old kids body of work in that tournament. Clearly, head coach Gallant was. Power logged big minutes in key situations throughout the Gold medal game and was strong in his own end, easily skated the puck out of trouble, led a few rushes and was not afraid to jump into the play. We are talking an 18 year old in a man's tournament, not the WJC. He was very noticeable while others, like Perfetti for example, were not. Maybe it's just me, but I was extremely impressed! If there is a guy I want out of this years crop of rookies it's Power. He is currently ranked first in a number of rankings although not all. IF, I need to draft a D Man more so than a F, then I'm inclined to hold my 2nd overall and hope Power falls to me. Although there is no guarantee that that happens. So, just something to think about, I'll be interested to hear what others think. Certainly this is a good deal for you if your not sold on Power or any of the others at the top of the rankings, which may well be the case.
