Bantam draft continuation thread (updated, 2:55)

Published 9:28 am Thursday, May 5, 2011

Statistics on all drafted players can, of course, be found on Alan Caldwell’s blog.

In the second round (40th overall) Everett made it two centers in two rounds by picking Saskatoon product Dawson Leedahl. Leedahl is listed at 5-10, 150. He had 56 goals, 71 assists and 196 penalty minutes in 54 games playing bantam AA rather than bantam AAA.

Everett’s next pick is in the fourth round.

— UPDATE, 10:25 a.m.

The Tips select defenseman Michael Zipp out of Edmonton in the fourth round (73rd overall). Zipp had five goals and 20 assists in 33 games for bantam AAA Edmondon CAC. Two forwards and a defenseman so far.

Everett’s next pick is in the sixth round.

— UPDATE, 12:05 p.m.

The Tips pick up a goaltender in the sixth round (117th overall) in Dylan France from Edmonton. He’s the 10th goaltender selected. Playing for bantam AAA Edmonton Knights of Columbus he went 5-10-2 with a 2.88 goals against average and .922 save percentage.

— UPDATE, 12:35 p.m.

In the seventh round (136th overall) Everett selects big (6-4, 179) winger Kyle Raymond from just across the border in Langley, B.C. Stats to come …

— UPDATE, 1:20 p.m.

First, some stats on Raymond. Alan Caldwell didn’t have his season stats, but in the two tournaments the Langley Eagles bantam AAA team played in Raymond had five goals and 11 assists in 10 games.

Now on to the eighth round. At 161st overall Everett picked right wing Kyle MacDonald from Nanaimo, B.C. No stats available.

— UPDATE, 1:30 p.m.

We’re now being told by the Tips that MacDonald is actually a defenseman.

— UPDATE, 1:50 p.m.

The picks are moving fast. Everett’s ninth rounder (183rd overall) is left wing Nicholas Pouliot from Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Pouliot had 27 goals and 22 assists in 22 games for the bantam AA Weyburn Wings. He is the younger brother of Portland defenseman Derrick Pouliot, the first-overall pick in 2009.

— UPDATE, 2:15 p.m.

Everett seems to have picked up a 10th-round pick as the Tips are listed back-to-back at 203 and 204. At 203 the Tips picked left wing Sebastien Barrette from Cranbrook, B.C., and at 204 the Tips picked center Ryan Rensby from Langley, B.C. No word on the details of the supposed trade for pick No. 203 from Kamloops.

— UPDATE, 2:25 p.m.

Correction. The Tips report there’s an error on the WHL website and that Barrette is not actually an Everett pick. So no trade there, and Rensby is Everett’s only 10th rounder. Rensby played alongside Raymond with the Langley Eagles and had 12 goals and eight assists in those 10 tournament games.

— UPDATE, 2:35 p.m.

Great name picked in the 11th round as Everett takes left wing Maverick Rafter from Winnipeg at 220 overall.

— UPDATE, 2:55 p.m.

Everett is one of four teams that uses a 12th-round pick, taking defenseman Darien Head from Salmon Arm, B.C., at No. 226.

Everett passed in the 13th round, so I guess the Tips are done. Six forwards, three defensemen and one goaltender.
