The Nashville Preds choose Hannu Toivonen 6th overall. Hannu has a great pro future ahead of him and you can expect him to see him next season with Dalhousie. "With the 17th pick we went a bit off the charts" says gm Corey Woods. "Yandle is the real deal." He has great offensive abilities but has to work a bit more with his phisical play. Other picks in order were, Latvian Martin Karsums, Adam Pineault, Stephan Goulet, Kevin Cormier,Wacey Rabbitt, Bruce Graham, Jakub Kindl, Martin Houle, Mark Tobin and Brandon Prust. Yandle,Karsums,Goulet and Pineault all play for the Moncton Wildcats who are the host team for the Memorial Cup. Kevin Cormier is the heavyweight in the QMJHL. Bruce Graham is playing in the ECHL this season and is expected to make Dalhousie next season. Martin Houle led Cape Breton last season in the Q. Wacey Rabbitt , Jakub Kindl and Brandon Prust split between the OHL and WHL.
