from Mike G. Morreale of NHL.com,
9. Dustin Brown, F, Los Angeles—The Kings’ captain, a 2009 NHL All-Star, plays an all-round game with an edge. He had 24 goals and 53 points last season—and was second among American players with 285 hits in 80 games.
10. Paul Stastny, F, Colorado—The son of Hall of Famer Peter Stastny missed 37 games due to a fractured arm and fractured foot last season after posting 70-plus points in each of his first two seasons. He still managed 36 points in 45 games in 2008-09 and has 63 goals and 185 points in 193 career games. With dual citizenship (U.S. and Canada), Stastny has opted to play for the United States in international competitions.

Komisarek gets on the list but Orpik and Scuderi don’t? Now thats a joke. I’d take those two over him any day of the week. Both scored more points and had much better +/- than Komi, and I’d consider both much better shut down guys than him too.

Florida is the Rodney Dangerfield of hockey, not a lot of respect for those that play in Florida. David Booth is better than half the players on that list. In only his second full season on the Panthers he had 31 goals. Expect him to get between 30 to 40 this year, the guy is one of the best young players in the league who every year gets better. If you do a hockey draft, do yourself a favour and take him on your team.
