The NHL draft is on the
20th and 21st of June. Here is some info on the Sioux recruits and their draft rankings from TSN and NHL.com.
39. DANNY KRISTOComparable: Maxim Afinogenov
From TSN: One of the better skates in the draft, scouts like the young American's effort and rate him as a solid second-rounder.
From NHL Central Scouting: Danny is a strong kid, but not a very big, physical kid. He has very quick feet and he's very smart. He's clever with the puck, he can set people up and he can finish. Sometimes he can take himself away from his best assets - thinking and skating and using his hands – and he tries to knock big guys down and he physically can't, but he's got that bite to his game.
