uhhhhhhhh Are you being serious? I cannot tell... If you are, you better make it your signature so we can all remember your oracle like skill. Michelle Obama... You think she needed to be explained what hockey was before she did that commercial?

From HFB. Any info on Mattias Backman? His scouting reports remind me of what they said of Niklas Hjalmarsson in '04. I can see why. Big, very mobile and brings a solid first pass. If he cracks the SEL roster for Linköping, he'll be at WJC no doubt. Solid case for him to be drafted in the middle of day 2.

18 year olds have no taste.

No one does anymore. The KHL is a thorn in the side of the NHL GM. Why risk losing that player to another league?

Midterms are practically worthless at this point. So long ago, a million things have happened since then.

Why not both? Trade! If I have to hear this pop angel crap one more time. I might go insane.

Byfugelin is such a douchebag.

Yuen would have been nice to get... The type of kid I love- mature!

Next round then? lol

Slovak central.

I will say, their draft coverage is terrible. you never know when there is a pick. Rarely say anything about the picks. They need to follow ESPNs NFL draft coverage.

I agree, sounds like a perfect fit.

Tiny center... I just want every pick from here to be described as someone who wins most of the puck battles he is in.

I am reading he is ranked 89th.

Not a steal, but about where he is slated to go.

All three have great potential for their spot. Honestly, they all are more likely to be busts. We shall see what happens of course. Jurco is the biggest question mark, he might do better to get time with Dats sooner rather than later because he needs to learn what it means to work. Jurco is one of those kids that piss you off by spending all of his time trying to figure out tricks instead of working in the gym or with a team mate passing. He really needs to figure out how to be a team mate before figuring out how to win the shoot out competition.

Well, Tanguay is off the market... That sucks.

Make no mistake, we don't have enough D prospects to fill out the top half of our roster. Our bottom half will be fine. Unless at least one of the guys in our system besides Smith can become a top three guy we will be signing big name Dmen in the future.

Ryan Sproul is a good pick too.

Is it wrong that everytime I see a French Canadian drafted I think, I wonder what we could get back in a trade with MTL for him?

We didn't need a forward, but you cannot complain because the forwards available by time our first round pick came around were already 5-6th caliber. We are stocked at forward now. Lots of talent. Best player available.

So Rocco gets to be have two rookie seasons, one in Florida and another when he gets out of there through trade at about 26... Is everyone who complained yesterday okay now?

I need a draft tracker this is going too fast for me.

One report states that "The market for defensemen however is more wide open, as Minnesota’s Brent Burns, Washington’s Mike Green, Calgary’s Jay Bouwmeester (NTC), Colorado’s John-Michael Liles, Winnipeg’s Johnny Oduya, Edmonton’s Tom Gilbert and Vancouver’s Keith Ballard could be available." There are talks that there are opportunities to move up in the draft as well. What options are there available to a Ken Holland who has stated publicly that he will pursue trades to fix the defense? Please add any rumors you come across here. Jay Bouwmeester is an interesting name. 6.6 seems like a hefty addition, but he could be a good fit. What do you think?
