25. player. 70. Edmonton gave Boston this pick when they hired Peter Chiarelli as a general manager. Boston has a ton of young defenseman that really helped the team this year so why not add another since Zdeno Chara is nearing retirement? Jarret Tyszka is a strong two-way defenseman with strong skating with great size for his age.. D. Seattle (WHL). Jarret Tyszka

David Farrance is most likely a year or two away from NHL play but he’s still a solid prospect that can fill a top-six role for Anaheim. He’s an offensive defenseman that can transition play from his own end back up the ice with ease.. D. Team USA U18 (USHL). David Farrance. 24. player. 105

23. player. 23. The Lightning acquired this pick in the deal that sent Brian Boyle to Toronto if Tampa wants another center who can step into the lineup sooner rather than later, Ostap Safin is that guy. He has great size, great skating, puck handling, and hockey sense. The only thing he needs to work on, however, is his consistency from game to game.. C/W. HC Sparta Praha (Czech Extraliga). Ostap Safin

22. player. 85. Another defenseman that could help the Devils big time is Pierre-Olivier Joseph, he has great skating, puck handling and agility making him more of an offensive defenseman that can jump up in the rush. He’s a couple of years away from pro hockey but once he’s ready, he’s going to be dynamite.. D. Charlottetown (QMJHL). Pierre-Olivier Joseph
