So you are saying there's a chance!!

We have a mathematical chance of moving all the way up to first.
10 spot Rule doesn't start until NEXT year.
- TommyGTrain

Ah. I hope we move up to the 1st or 2nd pick again. I want to see Yzerman have an aneurysm when we draft Beniers.

Theres still an opportunity to move up 10 spots though right?
- aecliptic

I believe they can either win it or pick 15th, this is the last year they are doing it like this, 10 spot thing doesnt start until next year

they will move up one slot because Arizona forfeit

When was the last time a 1OA was traded???
Maybe we can win it and trade it to Yzerman for Larkin, Hronek, Glendenning, Zadina, a 1st and of course,... Namestnikov!

Ill be happy with just Larkin and Glendenning.

To be honest, I kept going because you have to get a haul for the first overall, don't you? That being said, Detroit doesn't have all that much we would want!!

The Lightning make history by starting an all-black forward line.
Problem is, I've never heard of any of them and they got thumped 4-0!!

Probably when the Penguins moved up to 1OA to draft Fleury.

Kings can probably do this too with Akil Thomas-Quinton Byfield-Brendan Lemieux

Also as slow as nails.

Thats pretty slow!!!

I would have responded this way, but I didn't get the joke.

so in all likelihood Rangers will pick 15th, and I noticed recently, 15th overall usually has a lot of good picks

even our last time 15th overall was JT Miller and he was good pick

What a (frank)ed up season.
The Bruins and Caps are opening their playoff series on Sat. and the North division non-playoff teams are still playing until Wed.

wait, Brendan Lemieux isn't black?
