Who?

The 209th overall pick in the 2010 draft (out of 210 picks) currently leads the WHL in goals (17), is tied for 6th in points (27), and has put up 34 PIM in 19 games so far. He is tied for the 3rd most goals in all of the CHL. How in the hell did he slide so far in the draft?

Sounds like a steal so far huh? Maybe the kid is coming off a big injury or is a head case and slipped down. Beats me.

Summary: I'd really like this guy if he skated better, but at his size he needs to be quicker. Even so, he's got 2nd round offense and hockey sense. So I wouldn't let him slide too far. I think he's great value anywhere in the 4th round.

Draft Day: Could be a nice steal in the middle rounds, I don't see him going much earlier than the late 3rd.

from the first hit when you google him.. if he thinks he'd be a nice steal in the middle rounds.. i wonder what he thinks of him at 2nd to last

Currently in first place in the entire WHL in goals (28) and points (54). Looks like the Flyers' scouting team has been logging the hours for the later picks in recent years, getting Eriksson in the 7th round in 2008, Wellwood in the 6th round in 2009, and now Ranford with the second to last pick in 2010.
