I'm happy with all of the picks, gives them flexibility to move up if they really like a guy who falls after pick our first pick. Or just keep all of the picks and add some depth for once. We discuss and get excited about our only few decent prospects since we're not used to having more than a handful at once.

Me too we have cap space now so we can push hard for Stasny . With the three picks we can pick up a top 6 forward with the 6 th , a Dman with then24 th and a third liner with then36 th

It's been reported that his list was Florida teams or Mtl. Tough to get a good deal for those options.

Tampa is now the Vancouver south and Canucks are Florida north.

Where did you get that?

I think it was an interview with LeBrun on the morning show.

Agreed. If we do not get the #1 pick, then I would trade down.

Trade down if the draft order goes as expected. Could always see Burke and Snow taking players off the board.

Why... We have a chance to add a gamebreaker at 6. Benning already added 24. No need to dilute the haul.

Statsny?

For what, like 7 mill a season for 7 years

Hank Stasny Bonino Horvat and Mathias is very respectable down the middle

With Bonino coming on as a inexperienced centre, you gotta think the Canucks will be targeting a LW/RW during the UFA period. Moulson would be cool.

Mark Spector suggests that Kesler was not popular with his team. I thought he was well respected.

Some on Draft floor are convinced the 1st pick overall is on the move and the Canucks may be the target. Still early and no sign of Tallon.



I'll believe the Florida writer over Dreger on this one. But who knows.

Ferraro on 1040 "I dont even think Horvat is going to be a 2LC, he's a 3LC at best"

I respect him but he doesn't know WTF he's talking about.

Don't think so

How the hell isn't there pre-draft coverage on TSN. They do the draft but sportscenter before it? This day is 5x bigger than TDL and that 8+ hours. Could we not get 2-3hrs!

But whats the point of trading 6th when the experts agree that the top 4 players are excellent, than after that 5 - 25 are pretty much the same. Trading down and getting a body and a pick may be the correct thing to do.

Take the 6 th.

But that body won't be impressive I bet. Would rather role the dice on ehlers or something.

Yeah, that was an odd comment

I'm still a bit surprised by the Garrison dump. I can't help but think his cap hit was cleared for someone else to arrive.
- AlexF

Him and Booth gone leaves us room to sign a top 6 forward

Keeler trade was decent but the garrison trade

Tampa is now the Vancouver south and Canucks are Florida north.


- Linden_4_Capt

Not anymore
Lou gone
Ballard gone
Booth gone
Garrison gone
Santo not getting signed

If Linden and Benning take Virtanen at 6th, instead of trading down, I'm gonna quit hockey forreal.
