With all the second round picks available to the Hurricanes, I am looking into players who have talent; but who are likely to be available in the second round. I'll add this post; but one player who comes to mind isBrody Sutter. Yes, he is a relative of Brandon Sutter.
Player Profile Brody Sutter Position: RW Number: 19 Shooting Hand: R Height: 6'4 Weight: 190 Home Town: Calgary, AB Birthday: 1991-09-26 Bio: 2008-09 - Tallied his first WHL goal on January 10th, 2009 in a game against the Vancouver Giants as a member of the Canes... His WHL career was hampered by a nerve injury in his shoulder costing him several games at the start of the 08-09 season... Arrived close to the WHL trade deadline in 2009 after being acquired in a trade with the Saskatoon Blades... 2007-08 - Brody is the tenth player of the famed Sutter family to make his way through the WHL, and was considered a diamond-in-the-rough by Saskatoon when he was listed by the Blades in 2007... Another Sutter - Brody is the son of former Lethbridge Bronco and NHL journeyman Duane Sutter and wears the number 19, the same number his father wore while playing junior hockey in Lethbridge.
Another player who seems to be a possible second round pick is Ivan Telegin.

If I am the GM, I am picking only players 6'2" and who are fast, physical, and intense. From the second round on, they would either be forwards or puck moving defensemen.

I wonder how many second round picks the team will make. My gut says at most two. I have a feeling they may package the their first and a late second for someone in the 20s in the first round. It should be a fun first day of the draft for Canes fans.
I just wish JR would have given up Ray Whitney for Lent.
Second Round Picks
Jim Rutherford has said publicly on a number of occasions that he wants to be able to move up and I, too, interpret those statements as a desire to get another first round pick by packaging a deal; but I am betting that teams are going to hold tightly to their #1 picks. I would be very, very surprised if the Hurricanes wind up with two #1 picks. I would be happy if Jim Rutherford can work his magic in that regard.
Hopefully the Canes will have a very high second round pick. Detroit loves to trade out of the first and in to the start of the second and pick up additional picks for their trouble. Detroit could be a perfect trade partner for moving up. Other teams late in the first may want to move down to get more players. It’s hard to speculate at this point, but if the Canes have say the #32 pick I could easily see them moving up to #22 by packaging that pick and one or more of the later round 2 picks.
I just wish JR would have given up Ray Whitney for Lent.
Well AD
all this fan is going to do is just sit back relax and wait & see what JR will do…like you i can only hope and keep my fingers crossed…and you have to admit the canes have gotten several good players who came to the canes via the WHL route…enjoy yh rest of the day…be safe..
Relax !! Even Micro Wave Popcorn takes time !! Go Canes !!
I personally dont think Brody Sutter is worth a second round pick. He has 14 total points this season. I get that he may be a defensive forward and a good 4th line guy, but to spend a 2nd rounder on him would be a stretch in my opinion.
No doubt you could be correct; but remember that is what was said about Brandon Sutter when he picked — that Brandon Sutter was only a defensive forward and a third line center at best. I think that the Sutter heritage and genes is worth taking into account. Large power forwards tend to need time to grow into their body.
Brandon was still a first round pick – and at that “only” expected to be a 3rd line center. Second rounders are not a slam dunk to ever play NHL.

I completely agree that his family heritage and hockey prowess could propel him into a solid NHLer. However, Brandon was at least producing around .75 points a game. Brody has 14 points in 71 games and is a -30. There is no way to look at that and make it positive. Yes, he’s on a young team in the Lethbridge Hurricanes, but that still isn’t enough to cover -30. Don’t get me wrong, if he needs time to develop, so be it, but for me to want to spend a 2nd round pick on someone, you have to show something more than 14 points and a -30 in your 3rd Junior season.
Also, to keep in mind is that Brandon is the first second generation Sutter to be successful in the NHL, a name can only get you so far. For every Ruutu, Koivu, Sedin, Bure, Hunter, Howe, Sutter family legacy success story there is that exact opposite, ex. Fedor Fedorov, Brett Lindros (granted injuries hurt him), Brent Gretzky, Russ Courtnal, Marcel Hossa, Paul Messier, Joel Lundvist, Blake Wesley
Brody Sutter;
I’ll see what other scouting reports I can find. I’ll also keep digging to see what other prospects might be available for the second round.
Ryan Kesler signed for 6 years at $5 million a season. This seems like a ridiculous amount, I know he is a great defensive center and a Selke finalist, however $5 million a year for a checking center seems very steep.
Plus I think Sutter is developing into a very similar player with a higher offensive upside and I sure hope we don’t have to pay Sutter $5 million a year. I really hope management can get Sutter and Jokinen resigned to long term (3-5 year) $2-4 million a year contracts after THIS year. The Kings have been using this tactic on players for years and kept their salary extremely low.
Selke trophy winners earn $5million per. That’s what Brindy was making at the start of his contract when he was a Selke candidate. As for Sutter, he could very well reach those limits. He’s going to have to keep producing like this for a few more years, but at age 26 he may be getting a similar deal.
I just wish JR would have given up Ray Whitney for Lent.
One guy I’d throw in as a possible Second Round pick is Teemu Pulkkinen. Before this year he was ranked to go top-10 overall however after having a foot injury keep him out most of the year he has dropped to the 2nd round. He is from Finland and plays for Jokerit Helsinki.

This URL is for an interesting review of Teemu Pulkkinen.
Sounds like a great review to me. I think he might be a real 2nd round steal, he just needs a solid injury free season next year and he could have a ton of hidden potential. Mikael Granlund has also fallen considerably to the lower first round. I’d still love to have that kid, as a 17 year old he has 39 points in 42 games in the SM-Liiga league which is one of the strongest Men’s leagues in Europe. He is a little smallish but is very strong on the puck and has a scoring touch.
Here an idea for everybody. How about the Canes trade Cole to the Islanders for their 2nd round pick. Cole would be a veteran forward that could play with Tavares (Cole is averaging almost .29 goals per game, which would equal out to almost 23 goals over a full 82 games). We then could package our 32nd or 33rd pick along with a 35th or 36th pick and move back into the low 1st round. Maybe pick up a D-Man or a big center like John McFarland.

I don’t know, the way Cole has played this year and his recent injury history we might have to give away one of our 2nds just to get rid of him. If it came to that I’d still do it.
