Its not every day that the top two prospects are both Russian, but that is indeed the case on TSNs Mid-Season Top 40 Prospects for this years draft. Sarnia Sting winger Nail Yakupov is the clear choice as No. 1 at this point, getting the vote of 9 of 10 NHL team scouts surveyed by TSN. "Its Yakupov and everyone else," one scout told TSN. "We always talk about where theres a drop-off in talent in the first round. Well, this years it after No. 1." Yakupovs countryman Mikhail Grigorenko, the big centre of the Quebec Remparts, is solidly slotted as No. 2. Of the nine scouts who chose Yakupov No. 1, only a few of them suggested Grigorenko could mount a serious challenge for the top spot. But there was the lone scout of 10 who had Grigorenko at No. 1, ahead of Yakupov. "This kid (Grigorenko) could be Evgeny Malkin," the scout said. "Its not out of the question." Its too early to predict what may happen in the NHL draft in Pittsburgh on June 22 – we dont yet know the clubs order of selection and/or what individual team preferences may skew the final decision-making – but the TSN survey leaves no doubt as to the two Russian whiz kids being at the head of the class. If Yakupov and Grigorenko were to go one-two on draft day, it would reprise the 2004 NHL draft when Washington took Alexander Ovechkin first overall and the Pittsburgh Penguins made Malkin the second selection. The similarities between 2012 and 2004 are striking. Yakupov, like Ovechkin, is a dynamic, game-breaking goal-scoring winger who isnt afraid to get physical or get his nose dirty going to the hard areas to put the puck in the net. Grigorenko is a big, offensively-gifted playmaking and goal-scoring centre who shares many of the same traits as Malkin. In 2004, Ovechkin was the clear consensus as No. 1, just like Yakupov, while Malkin, like Grigorenko, was No. 2. But in the intervening years, some would now argue that Malkin, the big centre, has eclipsed Ovechkin, the scoring winger, in the world of NHL superstars and that perhaps Grigorenko may one day do the same to Yakupov. Its all very intriguing, all the more so when you consider the "Russian Factor." The Russian Factor has recently applied to Russian-born and -trained first rounders who end up being selected lower than their talent or skills would normally dictate because there are fears – sometimes real, sometimes imagined – that the Russian player has a safety net in the KHL that allows them an option to leave the NHL and North America if they dont like how things are panning out. In recent years, the Russian Factor likely allowed the St. Louis Blues to draft Vladimir Tarasenko 16th overall and the Washington Capitals to take Evgeny Kuzentsov 26th overall in the 2010 draft. In 2007, the New York Rangers were able to draft Alexei Cherepanov 17th overall, although the gifted Russian forward died tragically during a KHL game the year before he was scheduled to join the Rangers. Often times, Russian players who choose to play in the Canadian Hockey League – like Florida Panther Dmitry Kulikov, drafted 14th overall in 2009 – rather than stay in Russia will minimize the effects of the Russian factor, but former Quebec Rempart start Alexander Radulov, who bolted the Nashville Predators for the KHL with a year remaining on his NHL contract, has flown in the face of that logic. Theres another wrinkle this year that could affect the talented Russian duo of Yakupov and Grigorenko. In theory, when a team is picking first or second overall, the last consideration a team will make is to draft by position, but there are some unique circumstances to consider. Columbus is the odds-on favorite to have the first overall pick – pending the outcome of the draft lottery, of course – and the Blue Jackets No. 1 positional need is a big playmaking centre to put alongside scoring winger Rick Nash, who has never really an elite running mate in Ohio. Would the Blue Jackets, if like many teams they have Yakupov as No. 1, consider taking Grigorenko based on the position he plays? And how would the drafting of any Russian play in Columbus, where 2003 first rounder Nikolai Zherdev and 2008 first-rounder Nikita Filatov were effectively draft busts? Likewise, if the Edmonton Oilers, for example, with a bevy of young stars up front (Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle) are picking first or second, would they take one of the Russian stars or look past them for a defenceman, of which there are many to choose from in this draft. There are a lot of variables in this years draft that could make it quite unpredictable. Outside of the Russian angle, there are many other newsworthy storylines, including: - A heavy emphasis on defencemen. No one has suggested 2012s first round will be as bountiful for blueliners as 2008, when the defencemen taken in the first round included: Drew Doughty, Zach Bogosian, Alex Pietrangelo, Luke Schenn, Tyler Myers, Colton Teubert, Erik Karlsson, Jake Gardiner, Luca Sbisa, Michael Del Zotto, Tyler Cuma, and John Carlson. But this group is pretty impressive: Everett Silvertip all-around defenceman Ryan Murray, at No. 3 on TSNs mid-season list, Red Deer Rebel thumper Matt Dumba, at No. 5, the U.S. Under-18 teams big and mobile defender Jacob Trouba at No. 6, top offensive defenceman Morgan Rielly of the Moose Jaw Warriors at No. 8, big Edmonton Oil King Griffin Reinhart, at No. 9, Ottawa 67 Cody Ceci at No. 12, Finn Olli Maatta of the London Knights at No. 14, Peterborough Pete Slater Koekkoek at No. 15, Portland Winter Hawk Derrick Pouliot at No. 17…that is 9 of the top 17 players playing on the blueline and a veritable cornucopia of different style defencemen. - Injuries. No one can recall a year where so many of the draft-eligible players have suffered so many injuries and of such a serious nature. Sarnia centre Alex Galchenyuk, the American of Russian descent, was supposed to be Yakupovs running mate all season but hasnt played a single game in the OHL yet this season because he tore up his ACL in the pre-season and underwent knee reconstruction on Oct. 27. And yet scouts still tabbed him as No. 7 on the mid-term list. Or Moose Jaw defender Rielly, who early in the Western League season tore up his knee, undergoing ACL surgery on Nov. 6. Yet, like Galchenyuk, NHL scouts surveyed by TSN thought enough of him to rank him No. 8. Peterboroughs Koekkoek, ranked No. 15, had his season end with shoulder surgery. "The X-rays, MRIs and CT scans will be more valuable this year than any year I can remember," one scout told TSN. "We saw enough of many of these guys last season or at the U-18 tournies last spring and summer to get a real good idea of what theyre capable of, but you have to be sure its not an injury that is going to prevent them from developing, that theyre going to get back to 100 per cent. Theres certainly some risk involved. Its one more thing to factor into the decision making process." - Multiculturalism at its finest. Seven countries are represented in TSNs Mid-Season Top 30, including Latvia, who will see Dubuque Fighting Saints captain Zemgus Girgensons, No. 11 on the TSN list, likely go high in the first round on draft day. There is a strong three-man contingent from the Czech Republic, with Kitchener centre Radek Faksa at No. 10, Czech League forward Tomas Hertl at No. 23 and Halifax forward Martin Frk at No. 24. Sweden also has three forwards in our first round, including big centre Filip Forsberg at No. 4 and Sebastien Collberg and Pontus Aberg at Nos. 16 and 20, respectively. The Americans have four in the Top 30, including No. 6 Trouba, No. 7 Galchenyuk, No. 21 defenceman Brady Skjei (pronounced Shea) and No. 25 forward Stefan Matteau. - A scarcity of high-end Canadian forwards. Fourteen of the 30 ranked players on the mid-season list are Canadians, but the highest-ranked forward from Canada is Belleville Bull centre Brendan Gaunce, at No. 13. If a Canadian forward fails to be taken in the top 10 overall – a possibility – it would mark the first time ever Canada did not have a top 10 drafted forward. The latest the first Canadian forward has ever been drafted was seventh overall in 1999, when the Washington Capitals took Kris Beech. There are only two Canadian forwards – Gaunce and Plymouth hard rock winger Tom Wilson at No. 20 – in TSNs mid-season top 20. Perhaps it was bound to happen sooner or later, after Canadian forwards being selected first overall in the last four drafts: Nugent-Hopkins, Hall, John Tavares and Steven Stamkos. So its easier to write off this years dearth as an aberration and focus on the fact that seven of the nine defencemen ranked in the top 17 picks are Canadian. - Goalies galore. There havent been any goalies drafted in the first round in two of the last three drafts, but there could be two or three in the first round this year alone. That is likely to change this year. Russian netminder Andrei Vasilevski, who shone at the 2012 World Junior Championship, is No. 18 on our list and Belleville Bull Malcolm Subban, the younger brother of Montreal defenceman P.K. Subban, is No. 22. Both have a legitimate shot at being first rounders, as does Swedish product Oscar Dansk, who checks in at No. 33 on the list. Multiple other goalies received some first-round consideration as well, so by all accounts, this years goaltending crop is stronger than in recent memory. Finally, a word about how these rankings were arrived at. TSN surveyed 10 NHL team scouts to get their personal rankings for the draft eligible players. This information was used to create a consensus ranking of where that player fits or is likely to be taken if the NHL entry draft were being held today. Its important to note theres plenty of time left in the season and significant fluctuations between now and the draft in June are not only possible, but quite likely.

Erik Karlsson and the Ottawa Senators felt good after their 3-1 defeat of the Washington Capitals on Monday, their first back-to-back victory in 51 days and their first three-game winning streak at the Canadian Tire Centre this season.Anthony Calvillo has gone where no other pivot has gone in professional football history. His pitch and catch with Jamel Richardson shattered another record in this season full of record-shattering marks, this one giving him the necessary yardage to pass Damon Allens career yardage mark of 72,381. And while he continues to pad that all-time mark (theres still no official word on what he plans to do beyond this season), will this number be enshrined as one of those cant reach marks, like Joe Dimaggios 56-game hit streak, Wayne Gretzkys 92-goal season or Oscar Robertsons triple-double average for an entire NBA season? Heres a look at some of the potential contenders: Peyton Manning, Colts Age: 35NFL Seasons: 13Yards: 54,828 The closest active player to AC. The all-world pivot for the Colts is currently not in the chase as he recovers from offseason neck surgery. While health is certainly an issue, Manning would need to average 4,000 yards passing a season (a number hes hit 11 of his 13 seasons) for five more years to pass Calvillos current mark. Henry Burris, StampedersAge: 36CFL/NFL Seasons: 13Yards: 41,376 Virtually all of Burris yards have been earned during his time in the CFL. Since 2004, Smilin Hank has thrown for at least 4,200 yards per season. Taking that figure, the Stamps pivot would need to average that for nearly eight more seasons to give himself a shot at Calvillo. It might sound outlandish that he could last until hes 42, but there is some precedent, at least in the CFL, with Damon Allen playing at an above average level till he was 44. Ricky Ray, EskimosAge: 31CFL Seasons: 9Yards: 39,150 Hes still pretty yyoung, and has done some remarkable damage during his nine years in the CFL.dddddddddddd Hes already had three 5,000-plus yard passing seasons, and traditionally plays in a pass-happy vertical offence. Ray would need to manage seven more 4,500-yard campaigns to break 70,000, leaving him at around 38 years old and within healthy striking distance of the current mark. Tom Brady, PatriotsAge: 34NFL Seasons: 11Yards: 36,618 Brady had to wait in the wings for his opportunity to be the full-time starter in New England behind Drew Bledsoe, and he also had to sit out a year after a knee injury in the first quarter of the Patriots first drive in the 2008 season. Think about how prolific Brady has been, and the video-game style numbers hes put up: and even then, at this rate hes still not even halfway to the mark. Even if you take his best passing year (4,800 yards in 2007) as his average (insane, yes), Brady would need to replicate that total seven more seasons – just to crack the 70,000 yard mark. Aaron Rodgers, PackersAge: 27NFL Seasons: 6Yards: 14,444 The NFLs newest elite level quarterback is not even halfway through his fourth full season as a starter in Green Bay. After some guy named Brett Favre finally moved on, Rodgers has evolved into arguably the top passer in the NFL. He is on pace for 5,500 yards passing this season on one of the most potent offences in pro football. At that rate, hed have to hit that figure on average for a decade to crack the 70,000 mark. So youve met some of the usual suspects. Do you think anyone can surpass Anthony Calvillos all-time yardage mark? Its Your!Call. cheap nfl jerseys \' \' \'
