RISING

Cory Emmerton, C -- Kingston (OHL)

Height: 6'0      Weight: 181

The rookie sensation from the Kingston Frontenacs was projected to be a solid two-way player, but he has jumped out quickly and is assembling great offensive stats. He has displayed excellent vision and a tricky stick that has allowed him to carry some of the scoring load for the Frontenacs. His continual improvement has been in all facets of the game and as a result, he continues to rocket up our charts for the 2006 Draft.

 

Evan Fuller, C -- Prince George (WHL)

Height:  6’1  Weight: 196 

Fuller has had a great start to the year.  He does it all: kills penalties, power play, and doesn’t shy away from a good fight.  He came into camp in great shape and ready to play. Every year someone comes out of the woodwork resulting in a surprise pick.  Fuller is this year’s version. He continues to get better on a nightly basis.  Fuller is a very well-rounded forward who plays in both ends of the rink and possesses the unteachable talent of leadership. he was Prince George's third round pick, 44th overall, in 2003 Bantam Draft.

 

Matthew McCue, D -- Spokane (WHL)   

Height: 6'5   Weight: 208

McCue is a big, strong defenseman who is rugged and capable of playing a physical style of game.  He will not hesitate to drop the gloves to settle a score or stick up for a teammate. He has the size and strength to dominate in the corners and along the walls.

 

Ivan Vishnevsky, D -- Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL)
