Thunder Bay, ONT-...The next obvious choice after already drafting John Tavares first overall and the Winnipeg Ferrets then taking Victor Hedman second. Was of course taking the Haliburton, Ontario native, Matt Duchene.
..."This is exactly how we were wanting this draft to unfold," said Timberwolves GM Blake Wendt. "Matt Duchene is the complete hockey player. He's got a solid game at both ends of the ice. Superior speed to rush the puck, finesse it through or grind it. Go up the middle, split the 'D', or take it along the boards. He'll dig in the corners for you, drive the net or make that tape-to-tape pass to a teammate. His game is outstanding and the bonus is that he is well-spoken, down to earth and just a classy young man."
...The Timberwolves will now sit back and wait their turn until the end of the second round.
