80th ranked guy? Just a cheesy remark.

Didn't someone get one of those "didn't sign a first round pick, so you get another one after the first round" things? Like Phoenix with Wheeler?

It's 211 picks this year, isn't it? I thought I remember someone getting one of those weird ones.

Ya. I think it has to do with a 1st rounder in 2007 not being signed. I jsut can't remember the team or players name.

Brian Huddle: Final Draft Thoughts from B-Hud

1) no one has ever said this was a good draft
2) seriously, people think Grigorenko intentionally hid years of million dollar salary to boost his draft status??? I've never heard that "roomer" before

"The San Jose Sharks will receive the 25th pick of this round (55th overall) as compensation for not signing 2007 first-round draft pick Patrick White."

Oh yes, CBJ maybe? Their firsts are usually busts.

Last year all I heard was sucks that you guys have 1 this year as next year is stocked with all high end d-men.

As for the mystery pick

The San Jose Sharks will receive the 25th pick of this round (55th overall) as compensation for not signing 2007 first-round draft pick Patrick White.

it is stacked with solid dman but even nail is not a top end talent. he'd have gone 4-6 last year most likely...

i'm not sure which part is funny. Huberdeau(3)>Nail. Adam Larsson is at worst on par.....

Except of course for the fact that last year they were saying Nail would go above Nuge as the #1.

Other than that.

I heard Hall sucked, and RNH sucked too, same poop about Nail now.

This was my original point, I NEVER heard anything but "2012 will be a weak draft" all the time for the past 2 years.

And I heard Komisarek will get you Getzlaf and a 1st. If you go looking for the lowest common denominator you will always find it.

and do you disagree Huberdeau would go first overall this year?

All I heard last year was Nail > anyone in the 2011 Draft.

Since I'm right and you are wrong, I wins.

I would have picked him first overall last year!

see f/u posts and explain where I went wrong please.

edit: for the record, Id have taken him 5th. Though Couturier should have been top 5 too...

I honestly think well be choosing from forsberg, faksa or grigorenko, and i really cant make up my mind about which one cuz there all gunna be good hockey players

hall does suck

I like the thought on CGY taking Girgensons, but would be fine if CGY swapped their 1st for buffalos 21st and a 2nd (41st)

Then CGY could take Sissons (would love to say Thrower but too early still) and Subban in the 2nd round.

They need Size in the RW and a goalie prospect. Fills their cupboards more then a Center that won't play right away.

But if Girgensons could crack the line up, then its worth taking him
- numbear

I think we need defense more than goaltending. I'd take a goalie in the 4th or 5th round, but would rather take a good defenseman or RW in the 1st and 2nd (if we get a pick there).

Maybe a guy like Tom Wilson if he's still there at 21, and a defenseman like Lindholm who has good upside but might take a while to develop in the 2nd.

hall does suck

Um, what does this have to do with the conversation?

No Yakupov was better than Huberdeau last year and this year...
