Here are scouting reports on the three first round selections for the Ottawa Senators at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft held in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

> Strength: shot, two way play, work ethic

Noesen has improved a great deal from his initial season in the Ontario Hockey League where he struggled with the speed and style of play. He nearly doubled his point production in his sophomore season with 34 goals and 77 points in 68 games. Noesen has good size and is a pretty good skater. While he is not overly physical, he is willing to use the body to make space for himself and for teammates. He won’t back down and drives right to the net. His powerful stride allows him to separate himself from his opponent, but his first few steps are slower than when he is up and going.
A dominant shot helps him to score goals. While he is not as naturally creative some other opponents, he is also a solid playmaker. Noesen is reliable in his own end, good along the boards and a strong penalty killer. He is known to show up in big games.
His two-way play, passion and outstanding work ethic makes him an attractive player as he is very versatile. At age 14, Noesen packed up and moved to Michigan where he joined the Detroit Compuware minor hockey program. This allowed him to improve and have a chance to play in the OHL or NCAA. He helped lead his team to a National Championship in the 2008-09 season.
If Noesen can work on his acceleration and speed, it will help him make a much better transition to the pro game. More experience and game maturity will increase his creativity with the puck.

D.O.B.: Jan 24/93
Hometown: Essex, ON
Team: Peterborough Petes, OHL
Position: Left Wing

> Strength: accurate shot, slap shot, hands
> Weakness: Consistency, strength
Goal scoring comes naturally for Matt Puempel. Puempel has consistently put up 30+ goal seasons in his first two years in the OHL despite being riddled with injuries this past season and not having much to play with. In his rookie year, Puempel scored 33 goals – good enough for first overall for rookies and good enough to win the CHL Rookie of the Year award.
Puempel anticipates the play well and is able to go into traffic to find open spaces. He has a powerful shot with a quick release. His accuracy is at the top of his game even in the difficult angles.
His skating and strength are average but not bad. More focus on skating drills could help give Puempel that extra jump in his step. Puempel but would also benefit from putting on some weight to allow more physicality to his game. Might be due to a influx of injuries, but Puempel struggled with consistency this season.
