Poll Question:
Who do you think will go first overall? Looks like one of the best draft years in recent memory.

This completely threw me for a loop:

Taylor Hall
Tyler Seguin
Cam Fowler

Although the top four look very good the rest of the draft is quite weak Taylor Hall will obviously be number 1 the scouts just rank him number 2 so people will come to their websites. Last year everybody knew Tavares would be number 1 but they made it look like he could go 2 or 3.

You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take Wayne Gretzky

95% of 'hockey fans' don't have a sniff of who the #1 draft pick will be until the media tells them. There are far too many junior leagues all over the world, many of which are not available on any TV channel for any fan to have any kind of opinion of their own on this matter. You may see your local team and see their top talent, or maybe the biggest teams in the OHL and WHL on V once in a while.

So my opinion is that what ever TSN says, I agree. I don't have the time nor the desire to form my own opinion here.

Exactly I watch the NHL, read a bit about prospect, but I don't watch them play, once in a while maybe my hometown Q team. I never saw any of the four you mention play.

I remember watching Cody Hodgson play in Brampton and thinking my God this guy is going to light the league on fire, then he has trouble cracking the line up and now he's injured. The draft is a complete crap shoot, you get lucky, or you get snake bitten. My guess the 4 listed will not changew but after that this draft is pretty weak.
