Kristian Vesalainen. 21. player. 95. The Rangers have a lot of youth depth on the left side and down the middle, so selecting Kristian Vesalainen is a smart pick. Because by the time he is pro ready he would fit well with <a rel=. RW. Frolunda (SHL)

The Ducks only have two solid players on the left side as of right now, <a rel=. LW. Victoriaville (QMJHL). Maxime Comtois. 20. player. 105

The Penguins are thin down the middle, with <a rel=. C. Portland (WHL). Cody Glass. 19. player. 92

The Blues first pick, Kailer Yamamoto is a very skilled player, this year with the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL, Kailer has put up 99 points so far in 65 games. And since he’s a right winger and Robert Thomas is a center, why not have them grow together and eventually play together in the NHL.. RW. Spokane (WHL). Kailer Yamamoto. 18. player. 99

17. player. 70. Klim Kostin has been hurt all season long over in Russia, but that hasn’t put a damper on his overall projection. He’s still a highly skilled forward and since Boston doesn’t have much youth on the right side, he would be a perfect selection for the team.. RW. Balashikha (MHL). Klim Kostin
