Here's my 'list' I guess, of players I've had interest in. I've shaved it down a bit from 140ish. It's not pretty, it's just a list of names I'll be checking off as they are picked over Friday and Saturday.
I excluded players I thought wouldn't be around on Friday night. So you won't see a lot of the popular ranked top-20 names.
Here it is. No goalies are included, but I'll say if I have to take a late-round gamble I would select London Knights goaltender Michael Houser. I broke the list into defenders, and forwards. Also split the Europeans. Is it in order of who I want? For the most part.
