22. Nathan Beaulieu, D, Montreal Canadiens
Height: 6-3, Weight: 195, Not ranked

Nathan Beaulieu has almost textbook power skating skills with a solid, balanced base which allows the puck-moving defenseman to activate so quickly in transition to the offensive attack. He has quick hands, good vision of the ice along with the natural abilities to know when to attack or hold back slightly, waiting for the right opening to develop in front of him. The offensive defenseman has improved on his defensive play, positioning in the defensive zone, and has concentrated on being a more physical player this season. Beaulieu needs to add more muscle mass to his large frame, learn to change the shooting lanes to get his hard point shot through traffic on goal, and must avoid puck watching around his team's net. As the talented defenseman develops his overall game, there's an excellent chance that he can be a high profile player on the Canadiens' defensive group in the near future.

41. Brendan Gallagher, RW/C, Montreal Canadiens
Height: 5-9 Weight: 175, Not ranked

Brendan Gallagher has an excellent work ethic, grit, really good hands and a very quick, accurate release on his shot. The physical little winger doesn't need a lot of time or space to strike offensively and will take advantage of the smallest of chances. For the third year in a row, the energetic captain scored more than 40 goals and ended his junior career as the highest scoring player in the Vancouver Giants' history. The offensive dynamo really showed his great compete level and never-quit attitude at the 2012 WJC Championship in the semi-final game when he sparked Team Canada's late but ill-fated comeback against Russia. Although Gallagher has improved on his skating speed and added more muscle mass, he will still need to increase both in order to play his style of game in the dirty areas around the net at the NHL level.

Considering the rank they were drafting in the past 2 years, it's pretty good.

Their list is not the voice of reason either.

For example, Brandon Gormley is ranked in it, but his partner in Shawinigan, Morgan Ellis, has outplayed him in the playoffs, is not.

I think it was Leblanc, Tinordi and Beaulieu. Leblanc being the highest.

Edit: The latter part is in my mind, of course.

Yes, if being healthy equates to outplaying.

Are those the predicted ages that they will be when they reach the pro level?
