He had 32 goals and 75 points in 44 regular-season games and seven goals and 13 points in four Memorial Cup games. 2 Seth Jones, D, Portland (WHL) It's amazing to think the most talented defensive prospect and top-rated player on Central Scouting's final ranking will fall to the Panthers. With plenty of forwards in the system and Calder Trophy-winning center Jonathan Huberdeau in the fold, this pick would be a lock. Jones has the size (6-3.5, 205), leadership and smarts to excel at the next level. 3 Jonathan Drouin, LW, Halifax (QMJHL) The Canadian Hockey League player of the year is a dynamic playmaker with speed,Corey Crawford Jersey, shiftiness and creativity. He set a team mark with a 29-game point streak (26 goals, 65 points) and finished the season with 41 goals, 105 points and a plus-48 rating in 49 games. 4 Aleksander Barkov, C, Tappara (FIN) The Predators need a dynamic scorer and the 6-foot-3, 209-pound two-way center could provide just what they need. While a shoulder injury sidelined him for playoffs,Patrick Sharp Authentic Jersey, he had 21 goals and 48 points in 53 games while playing against men in the top Finnish league. 5 Valeri Nichushkin,Bobby Hull Jersey, RW, Chelyabinsk (RUS) The 6-4, 202-pound Russian is determined to play in the NHL next season.

A big, skilled forward also would take attention away from Eric and Jordan Staal and provide needed secondary scoring. 6 Sean Monahan, C, Ottawa (OHL) There aren't many on the draft board as big, smart and determined as Monahan. A leader in every sense, the 6-2.25, 187-pound left-handed shooter excels on faceoffs, the power play and the penalty kill. He had 31 goals and 78 points in 58 games this season. 7 Darnell Nurse, D, Sault Ste. Marie (OHL) After choosing a forward with their first pick in each of the past six drafts, the Oilers likely will grab one of the toughest defenders on the board. He defends well, plays with an edge, is good off the transition and has a powerful shot. He had 12 goals, 41 points, a plus-15 rating and 116 penalty minutes this season. 8 Elias Lindholm, C, Brynas (SWE) The 6-foot, 192-pound t
