Figure I could do a table of the Hockey's Future Top 20 along with the guys from the 2011 draft. It's sorted currently by position in the HF list; however, if you have a request of a player I'll be happy to add a player.

Our 2011 draft is looking very good as Brandon Saad and Mark McNeil have impressed scouts but one name you might not have heard too much about is Hawks 2nd round pick Adam Clendening. Clendening leads the Boston U Dmen in points and assists and leads the team in Penalty minutes (34).

Major injuries have affected the Hawks minors with Kyle Beach out the year (4 to 6 months of recovery time) and some sites have questioned whether he'll be passed by the depth in the system due to shrewd trades and drafting.

Also hurt is wunderkind Brandon Saad. Saad, out since November 1st, blocked a shot with his left hand and has not returned. His injury has been classified as "week to week" but it was estimated he'd miss a week or two. Unfortunately it's been three and he's not returned to action but should return to action soon.
