The Ducks picked earlier at #10, with the Ottawa Senators pick and take to the podium for the second time. After drafting a Swedish forward at #10, this time they can go a little off the board.
Finnish defenseman Julius Honka is a creative offensive blueliner who played this past season for the Swift Current Broncos in the WHL. He is small but he is quick and agile. A project that is a couple of years away, he could eventually join a blue line that includes young studs Cam Fowler and Hampus Lindholm.
