I will be writing a little bit more in depth about a couple of guys I'd like to see Edmonton draft, a couple of guys I'm not as anxious to see drafted by the Oilers at 10 OV, and where I guess the talent tiers to be, in the next couple of days. After that, it's on to free agency!

Nice list - I get my choice of Kulikov and Ekman-Larsson
AND
I get Tatar!
I think that kids a winner. I really do.
Well, this seals it. Oilers are going to take Kassian. It's speeds's "Dubnyk curse." :-)
I like Kassian quite a bit more than I liked Dubnyk at the time of the 2004 draft.
I think Kassian could well be a good pro, but picking at #10 I would prefer a guy with a higher probability of being a top line player.
My bet is Ottawa goes off the board and drafts Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
