We're closing in now. Friday is just around the corner. We're down to just a handful of prospects left as well. Coincidence?
Today's post looks at the top rated goaltender, Jack Campbell from the US NDTP.
Buddha: Not quite sure how CSS has him ranked as the #2 NA Goalie, when everyone else has him as the best goaltender by a long shot, but hey, what do I know? This kid has the making s to be one of the best goaltenders in the league, and passing on him at any draft position may come back to haunt more than one team. A solid bet at #9, as it would give the Wild two very good goaltending prospects which we all know take a few years to develop properly. If drafted, and if Hackett turns out to be who he should be, the Wild could have a solid trade piece.
It is certainly going to be tempting for the Wild at 9 if Campbell is still there, and I would not be shocked in the least to see him selected.
Circular Theory: Here's a guy I don't understand the love. I believe he is a good prospect but do not think should be in the same class as Johansen, Niederrieter or Connolly. He is technically sound and posses impressive athleticism. He is also very cool under pressure and impressed during the recent NHL scouting combine. However, when I saw him during the WJC, I believed some goals he left in, he should have saved. But nonetheless, he is a very good prospect but at #9, I rather the Wild invest their pick in a forward prospect.
