Another NHL draft is in the books and the weekend in Pittsburgh certainly lived up to expectations. Trades were made, raw kids were gambled on and sure things fell to teams that were happy to snap them up.

Hampus Lindholm, D – Rogle BK (Swe.)

One of the big surprises of the first round, Lindholm went about 10 spots higher than anyone predicted. But the Ducks are excited about their new D-man, particularly since his play got better and better as the season went on, culminating in two playoff tournament performances that helped Rogle win promotion up to the Elite League for 2012-13.
