24 players got A grades for this draft (that means a first round grade) which is pretty good. Lots of high end talent at the top of this thing.

Also, Buffalo has to draft Maxim Agafonov just cuz Afinogenov is so close to that.

I am laughing because I was just thinking every time I see Caleb Desnoyers I see Caleb Destroyers and think its a team. LOL

McQueen is going to be a great Bruin.

I'm gonna be honest, I'd draft Martone (6'3") or Misa (6'1") over Hagens (5'10") if I'm Buffalo.

McQueen (6'5") is currently injured I think, but I don't love him, there's a lack of the dynamics I see in his play.

I figured I’d better come here to familiarize myself with some of these kids considering the dreadful results we’re seeing on the big club.

A bunch of good and big forwards with physicality. A couple big physical rhd that are probably solid #2 defenders. 

1James Hagens (C) NCAA

2Roger McQueen (F) WHL

3Michael Misa (C/LW) OHL

4Matthew Schaefer (D) OHL

5Porter Martone (RW) OHL

6Malcolm Spence (LW) OHL

7Jackson Smith (D) WHL

8Victor Eklund (LW) HockeyAllsvenskan

9Lynden Lakovic (F)

Martone: 2.29ppg, 1.14gpg

Misa: 1.87ppg, 1.2gpg

Schmidt: 1.8ppg, 1.13gpg

Desnoyers: 1.69ppg, 0.85gpg

Bear: 1.69ppg, 0.88gpg

Hagens: 1.67ppg, 0.17gpg

These are the leading ppg players thus far. I also added goals per game. I understand that Hagens is in the NCAA so that is difficult but his 1g in 6 games gives me pause.

Hagens is currently only shooting at 4% in the NCAA.

Misa just hit 40pts in 20 games. Regardless of Hagens current shooting woes, Misa has a far better release.
