John MoorePick: No. 26• Born: Nov. 19, 1990 (Chicago) • Position: Defense • Height: 6-2 Weight: 189 • Shoots: Left • 2008-09: 14 goals, 25 assists in 57 games with the Chicago Steel of the United States Hockey League • Notes: Ranked sixth among North American skaters by NHL's Central Scouting Service. A superb skater, with an explosive first two strides. Will likely play for Kitchener in the Ontario Hockey League next season. Kevin LynchPick: No. 56• Born: April 23, 1991 (Grosse Pointe, Mich.) • Position: Center • Height: 6-1 Weight: 190 • Shoots: Right • 2008-09: 18 goals, 19 assists in 54 games with the U.S. National Team Development Program • Notes: Will play at Michigan next season. Very solid defensively, but only started showing scoring touch late last season. Could be moved to the wing next season.
David SavardPick: No. 94• Born: Oct. 22, 1990 (St. Hyacinthe, Quebec) • Position: Defense • Height: 6-2 Weight: 200 • Shoots: Right • 2008-09: Nine goals, 35 assists in 68 games with Moncton of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League • Notes: Ranked the 104th-best North American prospect according to central scouting. Big body and pretty good skills, but needs lots of work playing in his own zone.

Physical player, who looks for hits and reminds some scouts of Detroit's Niklas Kronwall. Will likely play in the Sweden Elite League this season.
Kyle NeuberPICK: No. 197• Born: March 22, 1989 (London, Ontario) • Position: Right wing • Height: 6-2 Weight: 220 • Shoots: Left • 2008-09: Nine goals, three assists with Mississauga of the Ontario Hockey League • Notes: Combative forward who drops his gloves and throws punches with a smile on his face.
