Both the Habs and the Blue Jackets need a center and if the Oilers stay at #1 it's because they're going to take Yakupov. That leaves the Leafs with no shot at Galchenyuk.

Blue Jackets need everything. They will be the most unpredictable come draft day.

Though if I had to bet, I think that Grigorenko is gone by number 2

They need a center more than anything. They can't take a goalie at #2 and they already did a lot to get defenders in Wisniewski and Johnson. They need a center.

It's the unis.
They are ugly, always have been. Hard to get behind a team when you have to wear something like that until UFA time!

Just like the Islanders.

Peter Forsberg would have to actually die before that happens.

I was considering this as well that the Oilers may have (frank)ed us a bit. Yakupov is #1, no question despite Edmonton's needs. And CBJ and MTL both need centers (who typically are taken ahead of D) NYI would take Murray for sure. Leaving us with Forsberg, Faksa, Dumba, or even Reinhart. If it comes to that, I would A) see us trade down to take Gaunce, or B) trade it in a package for Nash.

Burke's presser concerns me, he sounds a little desperate. Hope he doesn't go do anything rash.

If the Leafs had kept their picks and tanked properly these last five years, they would have got lucky eventually too.

It hasn't happened, what can you do. I think they'll make the best of this draft, I don't expect much to change for this team next year, unless they can add a few impact pieces over the summer. But i mean news anchors love talking about acquiring a starting goalie and a 1C as if you can pick one up at the corner store.
