#26 Serron Noel, RW, OHL

Consensus: 27. Highest ranking: 21. Lowest ranking: NR.

“Hulking winger (6-foot-5, 205 lbs) like other larger players in this draft, defies stereotypes about his size with relation to skating.” -Dan Carrozzi

#27 Jonatan Berggren, C, SweHL

Consensus: 27.2. Highest ranking: 21. Lowest ranking: NR.

“One of my favorite sleeper picks, Berggren has an extremely high motor and is a spark plug type player. He has impressive hands and is a very smooth skater. He’s not a big player at all and because of that he is not very physical, but he is also coming from a Europe where the game is not as physical as North American hockey anyway.”- John Williams

#28 K’Andre Miller, LHD, USHL

Consensus: 28. Highest ranking: 19. Lowest ranking: NR.

“At 6-foot-4, Miller has the size to bring a physical presence, but his 29 points in 58 games shows that despite being a hard-hitting defender, he can still contribute to the scoresheet.” -Sean Raggio

#29 Ty Dellandrea, C, OHL

Consensus: 28.8. Highest ranking: 26. Lowest ranking: NR.

“Center who can use his size to protect the puck well. Can score in a lot of different situations.” -Peter Reichert

#30 Jesse Ylonen, RW, Mestis

Consensus: 29. Highest ranking: 17. Lowest ranking: NR.

“Very reliable with the puck on his stick. He has one of the best wrist shots of any skater in the draft. He needs to put on weight to stick around in the NHL. Very elusive, quick skater. Great passer.” -John WIlliams

#31 Benoit-Olivier Groulx, C, QMJHL

Consensus: 29.2. Highest ranking: 24. Lowest ranking: NR.

“The little details about Groulx’s game are what make. it so entertaining. He’s a fast, hockey-smart, determined player.” -Jen Moglia
