19. San Jose Sharks – Ryan Poehling (C, St. Cloud State, NCAA)
When you look at Poehling’s stats, they don’t jump out at you like others do. He put up 13 points through 35 games this season, but keep in mind that he was playing in the NCAA at the age of 17 this year.
Other American forwards typically play in the USHL or for their high schools in their draft year, so Poehling’s numbers could easily skyrocket for next year.
