6. Carter Yakemchuk RD OTT
7. Zayne Parekh RD AZ
8. Berkly Catton LHC SEA
9. Anton Silayev LD

I’d very, very happily take Parekh at 7 if he’s there. but that’s just because he’d be BPA, imo. not because of his position

just in my personal opinion for who I’d want for an NHL team, I’d take Iginla over Yakemchuk and it’s not particularly close

I would bet money Ignila is gone before 12th. Certainly in the top 10.



I think most pundits are going to be very surprised at how soon both players go. Most have Yakemchuk ranked a lot lower than on the list above. Fact is the best GMs know intangibles like size, grit, physical play and yes even hockey pedigree (Tij being Jarome's son) are important too it isn't just about who scored the most points or who those same pundits have deemed to be the "most skilled" or BPA in junior.
