53 | Jeff | Carter | F | PHI | You have to be pretty good when 33 goals disappoints everyone. |

65 | Mark | Streit | D | NYI | This PP will be better than you think. |
66 | Steve | Mason | G | COB | Not a bad spot-play for home starts. |
67 | Chris | Stewart | F | COL | Puck kept falling for him in second half, which makes us nervous. |
68 | Michael | Cammalleri | F | MON | Where did all the PP goals go? |
69 | Michael | Leighton | G | PHI | Doesn't seem like a horse but that's their issue. |
70 | Nicklas | Lidstrom | D | DET | This is still an elite power play. |
71 | Zdeno | Chara | D | BOS | Don't tell him we said so, but he's overrated. |
72 | Tomas | Plekanec | F | MON | A legitimate top-six forward but not really a horse. |
73 | Dan | Ellis | G | TAM | If you buy the rebound, you'll want him too. |
74 | Loui | Eriksson | F | DAL | Bet on 30-35 goals, but stop at that. |
75 | Brad | Richards | F | DAL | Rebounded in Dallas but doesn't fill scarce categories. |

82 | Tyler | Myers | D | BUF | Baby, you're a big star now. |
83 | Jaroslav | Halak | G | STL | Playoff hero heads to a weaker club. |
84 | Chris | Pronger | D | PHI | You hate him unless you're a Flyers fan. |
85 | Brian | Campbell | D | CHI | Not a Norris guy but good for your second blueliner. |
86 | Simon | Gagne | F | TAM | Bring your insurance card. |
87 | Jason | Pominville | F | BUF | A safe bet to play the entire schedule. |
88 | Marian | Hossa | F | CHI | Hasn't justified the contract but it's not your money. |
89 | Thomas | Vanek | F | BUF | Pay for 30 goals, hope for 40. |
90 | Phil | Kessel | F | TOR | As consistent as a paper cup in a hurricane. |
91 | Bryan | McCabe | D | FLA | At least he's good at the one thing we care about, power-play stuff. |

102 | Teemu | Selanne | F | ANA | It wouldn't be the same without Teddy Flash. |
103 | David | Backes | F | STL | Does a little of everything, helps STL more than us. |
104 | R.J. | Umberger | F | COB | Underrated scorer if they give him full ice. |
105 | Jonas | Gustavsson | G | TOR | Fun to watch, but they don't have the horses. |
106 | Keith | Yandle | D | PHO | Another reason to get your defense late. |
107 | Tomas | Kaberle | D | TOR | You know what you're getting here. |
108 | Erik | Karlsson | D | OTT | Make sure he sticks on that first PP group. |
109 | Ryan | Suter | D | NAS | He's the Rhoda here but still pretty good. |

120 | Kyle | Okposo | F | NYI | Gets the most out of his ability but won't be a star. |
121 | Mason | Raymond | F | VAN | Decent surrounding but don't bid past 2009-10 production. |
122 | Pavel | Kubina | D | TAM | Get some Tampa guys this year, trust us. |
123 | Dustin | Penner | F | EDM | One of the few Oilers who didn't mail it in. |
124 | Michael | Del Zotto | D | NYR | Moves puck well but has a lot to learn in other end. |

126 | Niklas | Kronwall | D | DET | Breakout should have happened by now. |
127 | Wojtek | Wolski | F | PHO | Should be on the top PP unit. |
128 | Patrice | Bergeron | F | BOS | Can the hockey gods give him a break some day? |

130 | Jay | Bouwmeester | D | CGY | How about maxing that talent, big guy? |

163 | Antti | Niemi | G | SJ | It's not like he's behind a lock-down guy. |
164 | Jordan | Staal | F | PIT | More valuable to the Pens than he is to us. |
165 | Scott | Gomez | F | MON | Pass-first guys don't fry our bacon. |
166 | Antoine | Vermette | F | COB | So long as he rides with Nash, we're kinda on board. |
167 | Alex | Steen | F | STL | Underrated scorer but will he be stuck on third line? |
168 | Ville | Leino | F | PHI | Was that playoff run real or mirage? |
169 | Mike | Smith | G | TAM | Capable if a change is needed. |
170 | Ryan | Malone | F | TAM | At least you're not stuck paying him. |
171 | Niclas | Bergfors | F | ATL | Swaps supporting cast for playing time. |

190 | Ryane | Clowe | F | SAN | Lunch-pail type isn't a fantasy target. |

192 | Vinny | Prospal | F | NYR | Holding on but there's no longer an upside. |
193 | Tyler | Seguin | F | BOS | He'll need 2-3 years to get to universal relevance. |

197 | Matt | Cullen | F | MIN | Another nameless, faceless forward in Minnesota. |
198 | Jason | Blake | F | ANA | Easy guy to root for, but point total doesn't match shot production. |
199 | Tomas | Fleischmann | F | WAS | On the right club but he isn't an ice-time priority. |

205 | Matthew | Lombardi | F | NAS | No point breakout likely in this city. |
206 | Martin | Havlat | F | MIN | Traditionally, he's been a tease bet. |
207 | Devin | Setoguchi | F | SAN | Only if he sticks with Thornton. |
208 | Valtteri | Filppula | F | DET | Upside is 60 points, but wait until late rounds. |
209 | Brent | Seabrook | D | CHI | Physical player helps Chicago more than us. |
210 | Michal | Neuvirth | G | WAS | No pedigree but maybe he'll get a chance. |

214 | Joe | Corvo | D | CAR | You always feel he leaves 10-15 points on the table. |

229 | Jason | Demers | D | SAN | Knows offense but has a lot to learn elsewhere. |
230 | Scott | Hartnell | F | PHI | Good at many things, but not a dynamic point producer. |
231 | Tim | Connolly | F | BUF | A shame his body hates him so much. |
232 | Jason | Arnott | F | NJD | There's something left but the upside is long gone. |
233 | Mikhail | Grabovski | F | TOR | Nobody has whispered the right words to him yet. |

235 | James | Van Riemsdyk | F | PHI | Bringing up baby, but needs another year for us. |
236 | Ed | Jovanovski | D | PHO | Probably has another useful year tucked in him. |
237 | Marc-Andre | Bergeron | D | MON | He's good at one thing but drives coaches crazy. |
238 | Nikita | Filitov | F | CMB | Can they mend the fences here? |
239 | Ron | Hainsey | D | ATL | Pride of the River Hawks (a mythical bird). |
240 | Rick | DiPietro | G | NYI | One for the what-if file. |
241 | Ondrej | Pavelec | G | ATL | Don't draft backups on bad teams. |
242 | Matt | Stajan | F | CGY | Don't look for him on the first line. |
243 | Jochen | Hecht | F | BUF | Probably loses 10-15 percent of last year's haul. |
244 | Paul | Kariya | F | STL | A nice career but we'll watch without investment. |
245 | Brandon | Dubinsky | F | NYR | He'll be available for pickup when you need him. |
246 | Sam | Gagner | F | EDM | Teases us for a month, then skates away. |
247 | Kris | Letang | D | PIT | Nothing special but his playmates are. |
248 | Gilbert | Brule | F | EDM | Some offensive chops but not a front liner. |
249 | Carlo | Colaiacovo | D | STL | He'll be FA available when you need him. |
250 | Kyle | Quincey | D | COL | Bouncing around but he moves the puck well. |
251 | Bill | Guerin | F | PIT | Held up longer than we expected. |
