Touche. Very insightful. Let me be more specific. A big, scoring forward (Ryan? Horton?) or a big checking forward (Zubrus? and what I thought was Bickell before the playoffs)?

Don't think I'd take him at #11 but Frederik Gauthier would solve that problem.

I gotcha! I edited my post to add more.

I'll have to take your word for it! Never heard of the guy.

Must win for the Hawks tonight?

I think he's definitely interested in Ryane Clowe, Nate Horton or Bickell. Wildcard might be Dustin Penner.

Yeah, I think so. Can't see the Bruins folding and blowing a 3-1 lead.

That's funny stuff. I hope they opt against overpaying for a watered down Scott Hartnell. I wonder how much Bickell ends up getting.

Makes me want to open a beer... all the speculating. Going to grab a beer.

Better to actually be patient with this one and not jump at one of these guys the first week? See if everyone sits back with this dreadful market of UFAs?

That's what the 41st pick is for! Well not him, but a poor man's Gauthier of course.

I hope to God they keep that 11th and be patient with it.

I'd only make a move for one if they made a trade that saw a winger leave town.

Nope have others in mind for #41

That's be tough with Hartnell NTC, and Simmonds developing the way he is. People assume Simmonds is untouchable, bit I bet he'd bring in a king's ransom. Not that they should be looking to move him.... but interesting to think about.

I had suggested trading Simmonds for a guy like Edler. I'm open to any trade, so long as it makes the team better.

Thought you meant big forwards. Sorry for my poor transition.

I'm kind of hoping they take 6 two-way centers in this draft.

Obviously kidding, but would you add Jordan Subban to that list or is that too early? I really like what I read about the kid.

Oh no, but I'm sure some are there but I will take best available.

I have a hunch they won't be keeping that pick...
