He is extremely skilled and creative, both as a puck-handler and passer. He has the hands of a top offensive defenseman and looks very comfortable with the puck).

9. Tij Iginla (Calgary Flames) (Details: Tij is a very talented offensive player. His stickhandling displays stand out constantly.

15. Michael Brandsegg-Nygård (Detroit Red Wings) (Details: He has been very good at the Swedish junior level although his play versus men has been less consistent. He is a well-rounded forward but I don't think any aspect of his game gets you truly excited. He's a good skater. He has strong puck skills.

21. Cole Hutson (Los Angeles Kings) (Details: Cole likely has more potential than Lane, who most now think was a steal in the late second round.    He is an electric player on the ice who dances around with the puck on his stick and often dictates the play.

While his defensive game is not his strength it is not a deficiency either as he is responsible and a capable defender.).

Why would Anaheim go LHD with a top 3 pick when they have the best LHD pipeline in the league already with a clear cut #1 in Mintyukov?

Because Silayev is a big body with great skill that can play right too. Zellweger and Myntyukov are good offencive D but for what I have seen now of them they need to get better in their zone.
