GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
1. Best draft value since the 2006 draft was Matt Martin. Martin was the 148th selection and has earned the 9th spot on this list ahead of at least 9 top 50 selections.
2. Only 6 defensemen made the list. 2 goaltenders made the list. Of the top 25 prospects under 25 years old, 17 were forwards. Only 2 defenseman were in the top 10. Only 1 defenseman on the list has played more than 10 games with the NYI. Where should their focus be in the 2012 draft?
3. 2007... Ryan Smyth... just sayin'
4. Some players that might make the team next year, even though they didn't make this list: Mark Katic, Ty Wishart, Mikko Koskinen.
5. Biggest moves from the 2011 LHH 25U25 (SEP 2011) to this consensus:
Matt Martin 2011=21,2012=9
David Ullstrom 19,11
Aaron Ness OFF, 17
Anders Lee 9,19
Ty Wishart 14, OFF
