Must Read
| NAME | HEIGHT | WEIGHT | POS | FROM |
| 1. Steven Stamkos | 5-11 | 176 | C | Sarnia (OHL) |
| Automatic. The only question: Will the Lightning's yet-to-be-named new coach get in the teenager's grill as John Tortorella did with Vincent Lecavalier way back when? | ||||
| 2. Drew Doughty | 6-0 | 213 | D | Guelph (OHL) |
| Interesting call here. Even before the combine, the Kings were interviewing players well outside the No. 2 slot. The pick might be in play for a trade, or the team might move assets in a trade. | ||||
| 3. Zach Bogosian | 6-2 | 200 | D | Peterborough (OHL) |
| Coin flip between Doughty and Bogosian. Whoever isn't taken at No. 2 seems likely to go next -- unless Nikita Filatov pushes up. Atlanta seems an unlikely destination for Filatov, though. | ||||
