Brian Huddle: With the Tenth Pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, Tampa Bay Selects... Morgan Rielly

First biatch.

How does Reilly's ceiling compare to Murphy and Ellis? Sounds like they all play simila games. Who would you expect the most likely to succeed at the NHL level?

Murphy and Rielly are >>> Ellis in terms of skating. Murphy also has a canon.

I like Murphy for my money, but can't deny what Ellis has been able to do thus far in his career.

I think Rielly is a hybrid of the two and could very well be the guy. So hard to say.

hey Huddle, you listed Trouba at 10 not 11 on the list you might wanna change that

Woops! Thanks.

Wondering how far Grigorenko will actually fall. Even Bob McKenzie recently stated he could fall outside the top-5 or even top-10. I don't think he makes it past Carolina at 8, but I could see him dropping to them. Just doesn't seem like a Burke pick, especially if Galchenyuk or Forsberg is still thhere (even Faksa or Teravainen might be preferred). I think Anaheim and Minny both go D.

if Faksa and Grigs are still their at the 8th spot, imo i still think the canes pick faksa.

no way in hell we take reilly over trouba. we already have offensive defenseman barberio about ready to make the jump to the NHL leading the AHL in points for a D man last yr. no thanks. we will take trouba. then take pouliot with the 19th pick

I'd hope not... Faksa is great but the Canes need offensive help next season and Grigorenko can give it to them. I don't really see them scoring Nash or Parise unfortunately. Jim Rutherford has already expressed his desire for a 1st liner.

I think TB is going to be quite pleased with who they end up with. They'll be getting a young d-man to go along with Hedman. Should be set for years.
