DAY 2 MULTIMEDIA:
No. 31
With the 31st overall selection, Edmonton has chosen defenceman David Musil of the WHL's Vancouver Giants. The 6'3", 198-pound blueliner recorded six goals and 25 points in 62 games during the 2010-11 season.
DAVID MUSIL'S PROFILE:
• In his second Western Hockey League season, Musil recorded six goals and 25 points (6-19--25) in 62 games helping the Giants to 35 wins and a first round playoff appearance.
• He was selected to participate in the 2011 World Junior tournament for the Czech Republic, but an injury ended his chance to compete for a medal. He did compete at the 2011 Under-18 World Championships and despite a disappointing eighth place finish, was voted one of best players on the Czech Republic team.
• His father, Frantisek (38th overall by Minnesota in 1983), had 34 goals and 1,241 penalty minutes in 14 NHL seasons as a defenseman with the North Stars, Flames, Senators and Oilers. His uncle is two-time Stanley Cup champion, Bobby Holik (10th overall by Hartford in 1989), and his grandfather, Jaroslav Holik, was a long-time player and coach in the Czech Republic. His mother, Andrea, was a top tennis player, winning the girls singles title at Wimbledon in 1985 and helping then-Czechoslovakia win the Federation Cup that same year.
• Musil was born in Calgary when his dad was playing for the Flames, and also lived in Ottawa and Edmonton. He moved to the Czech Republic with his family when he was seven and played his youth hockey there until leaving to play in the Western Hockey League.

No. 62
With the 62nd overall selection, Edmonton has chosen goaltender Samu Perhonen of the Finnish Junior League. The 6'4", 172-pound netminder posted 2.1 goals-against average and .922 save-percentage in 29 games during the 2010-11 season.
SAMU PERHONEN'S PROFILE:
• Perhonen finished the 2010-11 season with a 2.71 GAA and .922 save percentage in 29 games for Junior A SM-liiga. He led his team to the league championship with a 2.14 GAA and .930 save percentage in seven games and also posted a 2.80 GAA and .918 save percentage in five international contests.
• In four appearances for fifth-place Finland at the Under-18 World Championship, he was 2-2-0 with a 3.52 GAA and .875 save percentage. He made 27 saves in a 5-3 victory over the Czech Republic.
• He grew up in a small town and walking to the rink with his friends was a common activity; he was drawn to the goaltending position because “it's an individual pursuit where you can kind of be your own individual and still be in a team atmosphere. I really liked that and have played goalie ever since."
• Perhonen means 'butterfly’ in Finnish.
