I thought for sure lupul would win...he 100% deserved it...I actually thought pacioretti was the least deserving of the 3..

Agreed...

If Edmonton isnot taking Yakupov they should trade out of the first spot!!!

You sir, deserve an opinion.




Leafs trade up or down? Why and for what?

Scenario A:
Assuming Murray is Edm's target, the only way that happens with the Leafs is if Toronto can swap picks with the Islanders and then trade 1st and 4th picks so the Oilers could have a solid shot at Murray before the Islanders do. That said, the Islanders would likely recognize this on just not make the trade.

Scenario B:
Other rumors out there suggest that the Oilers are high on Reinhart AND have an interest in Franson. If this is the case, then I believe the Leafs and Oilers could make a trade directly for the 1st and 5th picks.

To Oilers: 5th overall + Franson + MacArthur? (Possibly need to improve on MacArthur or add)

To Leafs: 1st overall

No movement in the top 5 picks... The Leafs will draft at #5 and get a player that won't play for the team next year or the year after... This draft has me very underwhelmed...

Who would you like to see at 5?

Gally and Murray are the two I like and both will be gone before the Leafs pick... so really I don't care at this point... That's why I think we're just going to get a "meh" player again this year...

Gally is apparently #2 on the leafs and canadiens list, i bet forsberg is #1 for both.. i hope mtl takes forsberg

I'd go for Faksa and at 35th either Dansk or Vasilevski. We need a goaltending prospect.

Check out all these mocks. Considering the randomness (low percentages) of the players after the first pick, what does this tell you about how other teams are overvaluing their draft pick positions?

*NOTE: Murray is listed at both 2nd and 4th because he is the player with the highest pick % in these draft positions.

1st: Yakupov = 92%
2nd: *Murray = 36%
3rd: Grigorenko = 36%
4th: *Murray = 44%
5th: Galchenyuk = 36%

IF we could get Galchenyuk at 5th......... I'd be hearing the commentator from miracle on ice in my head.........

I'd love to see someone take Grigorenko and have Alex slide down a bit

Here's my two sense about it........... it's the NHL awards........ who gives a fack.

There's only one trophy in hockey I care about. Rest are bullshiza

That'd be nice

No offense mike in buffalo, but you keep repeating yourself of tim thomas when he took the year off? Why do you keep bringing his name into discussion when hes not a factor and is old and is probably done...

Long gone by 35th. Dansk MIGHT be there
- As_I_See_It

Hope he is, id rather dansk than vas, since dansk is swedish and the other is russian

so whats good people, seems like luongo isnt going anywhere unless he fully demands to be traded out of vancouver because he simply does not want to play there... thats the only way burke will acquire him cheaply, is if deep down luongo wants to get the hell outta there ASAP. As many of you have said bernier is going nowhere so we will leave it at that.

Onwards, for fridays draft, galchenyuk, forsberg, or grigorenko will be fine to take at fifth, not like we need any more defense since justin schultz is surely only the positive i can take that there is a major possibility he is coming here for sure Hopefully we move up to draft Galchenyuk.

Looks like Burke was trying to acquire luongo, though for sure the nucks were asking for too much in return for such a crappy contract, so burke has withdrawn from that deal or their proposals. Until luongo states he wants out, burke will get him cheap if that arises.

Rigged by Buffalo Tourist Association. They hate Lupes.

Reality of decision is that Patches injury was seen by everyone over and over and over. There was also a bit of a sentiment that Chara walked too easily.

Lupul suffered out of sight. I appreciate that they reward people who come back but selection will always be very subjective.

No big deal except no Hab (other than Komi's well deserved ASG selection) should ever win an award for anything.

Wow man thanks a lot.... I have the same thing.... About 10 months ago they found a DVT in my leg... It nice read something like this . And the fact he is playing on blood thiners is extremely unsafe. I was also on the same one a day needles he's on but I had to stop after 3 months ago because there 100$ a needle and I couldn't afford it.. On pills now

But this gives me a Lot of respect for fleischmann
