will remain healthy unlike Hall


I liked your article though i just have to say, Yakupov has already been hurt this year so whos to say he will remain healthy? I really hope Oilers can get Grigorenko at 3 that would be incredible, though if he is taken 2nd by montreal i see them taking a Dman at 3, yea we got lots of D prospects but no one who is gonna be a number one guy like Murray

They have been drafting in the top5 for the past three years, they've drafted a power forward and a playmaker. People think they need help on D, but with Kleftbom, Musil, Gernat, Marincin and Teubert, they have their cupboard on D more than filled IMO.


Problem is a lot of teams can name a bunch of prospects and say they have enough at that position, hell i can do it for the Wings too (Smith, Sproul, Ouellett, Almqvist, Backman, Marchenko, Jensen) but that doesn't mean the team has everything it needs. Oilers need that stud #1 dman and although it's not impossible that one of those becomes that, they shouldn't count on it and drafting a blue chip dman could be exactly what they need to do to go with all their forwards.

I do understand drafting the best available player no matter the position though...something the Wings do.

if the sabres finish with a pick in the top ten i see them moving up to get the best center whether is Galchenyuk or Grigorenko.they do have 2 first rounders and 2 seconds ,so it possible.

Your two first for the Oil at 2 or 3, deal?

Nice write up, frenchie. One question, why would they feel that grigorenko is a risk?

Ask QP, oh and critics seem to think he can't play against good teams and thrives against the bottom feeders. Though it would seem as a rookie in NA for the first time ever he's thriving quite well

His stats are very nice. Where in the 1st round do you expect Stefan Matteau to go?

You had best take him on the 1st round, QP tells me that the habs are a lock to take him in the 2nd round.

Hard to look forward when your team isn't involved I haven't been this pumped for the playoffs in years. For once we won't have to come down to the final week to see if we get in. Been waiting for the playoffs since January
Edit: im doing well, just finished watching the end of the godfather on amc

Aww, cool that's why i have been seeing it on tv a lot lately. Watched a documentary on the making of it, and the costra nostra's response to it being made and without them, that movie doesnt get shot. No sets, no wardrobe, no catering, no extras and sure as poop no taping in NYC's little Italy. It's on youtube, the documentary i mean. Actually was funny to watch and see the control they had of how the movie made them look.
