World U18 Draft Lists

The World U18 Championships is one of the premier scouting events for the NHL Draft, since no players playing in the event have been eligible for the NHL Draft yet, and many are top draft picks for future drafts.

With that in mind, I tried to make some draft lists made up of players from the World U18 pre-camp that I watched. The list is mostly made up of players from the US, Canada, Sweden, and Finland, with a couple other players I saw mixed in. It's broken down into three groups: one for player's eligible for this year's draft, one for 2010, and one for 2011.

You can view the lists after the jump.

Star-divide

2009 Draft

  1. Magnus Svensson-Paajarvi-Swe
  2. Oliver Ekman-Larsson-Swe
  3. Jeremy Morin-USA
  4. Dylan Olsen-Can
  5. Drew Shore-USA
  6. Jacob Josefson-Swe
  7. Zach Kassian-Can
  8. Landon Ferraro-Can
  9. Simon Despres-Can
  10. Tim Erixon-Swe

  15. Anton Lander-Swe
  16. William Wrenn-USA
  17. Tommi Kivisto-Fin
  18. Stefan Elliott-Can
  19. Ryan Bourque-USA
  20. Toni Rajala-Fin
  21. Patrick Cehlin-Swe
  22. Kenny Ryan-USA
  23. Carl Klingberg-Swe
  24. Andrej Statsny-Svk
  25. Erik Haula-Fin

  27. John Henrion-USA
  28. Cody Eakin-Can
  29. John Ramage-USA

Note:I'd put the top seven players on this list in the first round of the NHL Draft. I didn't see Jeremy Morin play at this particular tournament, but have seen him throughout the year, so I added him anyway.

I watched Sweden today in Moorhead and that’s a good squad. I was very impressed with Ekman.
