A big center with excellent speed, Rob Niedermayer was the Florida Panthers first pick, fifth overall, in last spring's NHL entry draft. He is projected as an impact player with gamebreaking abilities. In addition to speed, the young center also uses his size to his advantage. This combination of speed and the power game make Niedermayer a force for the expansion Panthers. He played three seasons of junior hockey with Medicine Hat of the WHL before being drafted. He collected 99 goals and 106 assists for 205 points in those three seasons. Rob's older brother Scott is one the NHL's best young defensemen.
Despite an eleventh-hour draft day deal that saw Florida and Columbus swap positions, it was a foregone conclusion that the Panthers were going after Jay with their first round pick. They fully expected him to step right into their NHL lineup and, of course, that is what he did. Ultimately taken third overall, Bouwmeester was a defensive stalwart for both the Medicine Hat Tigers (WHL) and Team Canada, with whom he won a silver medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships. He collected an assist in his NHL debut on October 10, 2002.
Auld had a breakout season in 2005-06 as he finished eighth overall in wins. With his 33 victories, Auld became just the fourth goaltender in Vancouver history to register a 30-plus-win season.
