Ben Eager of Oshawa is the guy i want, will he be there is the question. 37pts in 62 games and 4pts at the WJC for Canada.  He was a first round pick to start the year and has had his stock fall through the year.  A physical specimen who loves to do the gritty work (255PIM) and will drop the gloves but hasn’t scored like expected. He was seen as a true power forward who is capable of fighting and scoring but recent developments tag him as more of a fighter than scorer now.  At 6’2 1/2, 215 a good skater and willing to play a game of heart and use his physical attributes are tough to find.
