As all the teams look to bolster their futures with talented prospects in Los Angeles, we ask the question, "Who will be picked first?". The Edmonton Oilers hold the number one spot after a disastrous 2009-10 season that saw the team win only 27 regular season games. It's a toss up between Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin to go #1. Both are intriguing players and whoever misses out on one will be satisfied with the other. Here's how we think this draft will go:
1. Edmonton Oilers select: Taylor Hall, LW, Windsor (OHL)
2. Boston Bruins (from Toronto) select: Tyler Seguin, C, Plymouth (OHL)
3. Florida Panthers select: Cam Fowler, D, Windsor (OHL)
