Also, picking up Colton Sissons will give us a decent Center if developed right…he was actually highly ranked by some sites. — ☯Seth☯ (@SethTheShocker) June 23, 2012
Nashville gets a good 2 way forward in Colton Sissons. Still has to improve his skating, but he’s a smart player and works hard #NHLDraft — Charles An (@charles_an) June 23, 2012
