Draft: Islanders select Johan Sundstrom with the 50th overall pick

The New York Islanders have selected Johan Sundstrom with with 50th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Sundstrom is a big center/winger at 6'3", 196 pounds. He played for Frolunda in the SEL last season.

AT: Was personally expecting Ryan Sproul, but I'm happy with this pick. Big, well rounded winger with great hockey sense and supposedly "tremendous" reach. Had GREAT stats in the J20 Superelit with 19 pts in 15 games in the regular season and 15 pts in 7 games in the playoffs. Loves to fight through traffic - something the Isles needed. Good, solid pick by Garth.

CH: I like this pick a lot. Might be a little bit early, but there's not much to dislike here. He was on the Swedish WJC last year, is big and has soft hands. The Islanders are really building a ton of depth at center, will be interesting to see where the team goes from here. Plenty of options, either through trade or development. Overall, a very solid pick.
