Heading into the draft, my mindset is this. Stalk piling defenseman is great! We need a number one defense. No scratch that, we need a Norris contender. At the same time, I think we need a player who can play behind Giroux at the second center spot and possibly take over for Giroux one day. You could argue Briere had a lot to do with Giroux's development. I'm not saying Giroux is old and we need to find a replacement. I just think we need another star in the making at center.

I think I've sold myself on hoping for provorov but I'm ok with a forward as well. Can't lose

And people think message board GMs are bad

Young, up and coming stud d-man for some magic beans.

For 18 years now, I have felt like I was the only person that remembered hearing them say those words when they got swept out of the finals in '97. It was all about team speed, drafting and developing...

Then again in 06 when Buffalo skated circles around them.

but its not like they have any former players still running the team either ... oh well we'll see... i just hope history stops repeating itself here.

B's making room for Kessel no doubt.

When you are a team owned by a-holes, all is possible

Yea, that looks like a big mistake.

hamilton and lucic

I would just like to know why they traded Hamilton. Maybe then it will make sense.

cooter sadly isn't worth much in a deal apparently

Obviously because they didn't value him as much as the draft picks. These are NHL people who know way more than you and I so please don't question their decisions

Agreed.

I don't like that move at all for them. If it was about money move Chara.

Someone said he was worth the 3rd overall this morning.

wonder if we could've made a move for him... but #1 defensemen are never available anymore.

Hextall isn't looking to move Couturier and his $1.75m cap hit.

Giroux hasn't been traded, so I guess he's not worth anything in a deal either
