Janne Niinimaa.

EDIT: It's funny, but when Russ Farwell was GM, they did quite well with 2nd rounders: Chris Simon, Mikeal Renberg, Greg Johnson & Niinimaa all played 500+ NHL games

Damn...Niinimaa's a LOOOONG time ago now. Wow.

We really need to start doing better with that poop.

Need some luck is what they need.

I would just be super wary of guys who bullied/bulled their way through junior... they rarely pan out.
- Tomahawk

His junior numbers aren't too different than Simmonds and Hartnell's. I just haven't seen any semblance of skill from him. If I were the Caps, I'd rather have him playing on a top line in Juniors than a 4th line in the NHL.

Jhonas Enroth certainly got his goalie swag back.

Looks pretty good. Probably goes unnoticed a bit on that team. They're very strong down the middle with Samuelson and Lazar. Not many teams have two centers who are first round picks.

Haha. Thats great. Now I hope they draft him.

Just a little luck would be nice -- if Stolarz and Hagg both make it, I'd be pretty damn happy, to be honest

Too be fair, here's their second round picks for the last twenty years:

1994: No pick
1995: Shane Kenney
1996: no pick
1997: Jean-Marc Pelletier, Pat Kavanaugh
1998: Jason Beckett, Ian Forbes
1999-2005: no picks
2006: Andreas Nodl, Mike Ratchuk, Denis Bodrov
2007: Kevin Marshall
2008-11: no pick
2012: Anthony Stolarz
2013 Robert Hagg

Over a twenty year span, they've picked in the second round 11 times. Kind of hard to mine a gem when you don;t even go in the cave

- PhillySportsGuy

Yes, his play is secondary

Yeah -- I'm watching it, still; he's stoning the Lightning.

Ha! Hodgson just scored on a two-on-one; now it's 3-0 Sabres

From what I've seen, I'm fairly excited about the player Hagg could become. Could end up being an unbelievable steal, at 41st overall.

Still not as crazy as what I posted earlier about the Art Ross imo

Just imagine, if conditions are met in the Mez deal, the Flyers will have not one, but TWO 2nd rounders this year.

I usually agree with you on prospects.

- Giroux_Is_God

You could add about 4 years to that timeline and it'd be Gretzky, Lemieux, Jagr and Marcel Dionne

Exactly!

I need to be in the draft meetings, they need some direction.

They do have a couple of players chosen in the 2nd round in 2010 in Alt and Straka.

WHOOF -- Dallas just went end-to-end on what started as a 3-on-2 that wound up a 2-on-1, and scored to make it 5-0 over Fonzie's crew.

Quote from the commentator: "It's unfathomable how far this team has fallen." (The Canucks have lost 10 of 11.)

WOW.

What are the conditions?

Good night so far for the Flyers...Montreal losing, CBJ getting blown out, Washington lost
