SBN Mock Draft Pick: Calvin de Haan for NJ

SBN Mock Draft - Flames pick Landon Ferraro
It came down to Carter Ashton and Landon Ferraro in the reader poll, so I made a judgment call: Ferraro, although smaller, outscored Ashton by 7 goals and 5 points, even though he played on a vastly inferior team.

2009 SBN Mock Draft: Picking a defenseman
The Flyers and Broad Street Hockey are almost on the clock in the 2009 SBN Mock Draft, so it's time for us to start mulling around the war room and decide on a player who will patrol our blueline for years to come. In all honesty, I was a little surprised that the vote came out in such favor for...
