Both 2010 and 2011 are weak compared to the last 2 drafts, the names outside of the top 10 hell even the top 5) aren't as big.
Man the only players that really stand out to me for next year's draft are Hall and Kabanov, and the Leafs won't get a top 2 pick.

Heard of Cam Fowler, predicted to go #2. Touted as the next great American defenseman. MacFarland, Gudbranson, Granlund, Seguin, Galiev. The first rounder doesn't always guarantee a franchise player, but there hasn't been a 'bad' first round in a while. While obviously you can't tell with the past two, three drafts, its almost a give in that you'll be getting a good player i the first round.

Next draft, a lot of people have Kabanov and Hall as 1 and 2, Fowler and MacFarland are both good, and I can't say anything about anyone else because I don't know who they are.

Bob MacKenzie listed Hall and Fowler 1st and 2nd overall respectively. Kabanov was 4th, but you're right. These next two drafts don't look quite as good.

But even still, I'd say after the top 7ish it drops off drastically, with a better defense, Gustavsson pushing Toskala and Kessel, I don't think we're getting that pick.
