I think Conner Murphy D is someone we might look at.

Reminder I will post the picks.

Now I say the hell with it and take Rocco.

Fourteenth Pick Stars select Jaime Oleksiak D This is why I hate to say things out loud... the universe can smite me quite often.

Downside he will be in college for a while, I think the Wings might not like that...

Yes, I have seen him play. He really has a knack for moving inside out and can go to the corner and come back to clear the front of the net. He struggles more high up in the Zone, and I seen him make the mistake of going for the puck when he should back off. He isn't a Myers or a Chara, he is something else-- something good. I don't know if he will be there, but he is a project that has size. Something the Wings want more of, and has better brains than your Joe Morrows. He would be a top three dman.

Thirteenth Pick Flames select Sven Bartschi LW

Twelfth Pick Canes select Ryan Murphy D Carolina shows great patience letting someone who might have gone 4th overall fall to them.

Eleventh Pick Avs select Duncan Siemens D Jaime Oleksiak D would be my first choice.

Tenth Pick Wild select Jonas Brodin D DAMN IT!!! That was the safest pick for us... We now have some interesting options available. My pick for the Wings is still available.

Ninth Pick Boston selects Doug Hamilton D Boston gets stronger that is for sure. Hamilton MIGHT go to an Ivy league school to play though... Reminder, I will handle the draft updates. Feel free to discuss!!!

My prediction here is Ryan Murphy.

Eighth Pick Philly select Sean Couturier C CBJ made a mistake, they should have kept the pick getting a center like that. Much like Carter. I am going on a limb, but I think he ends up being better than Carter.

Eighth Pick Philly turns Carter into... My guess would be a Center...

Take it for what it is worth. Unless it is for nothing, or includes a bigger trade I don't really like it.

I am done predicting now, it is getting harder. Winnipeg is up. The pick will wear god knows what... The Blackhawks are rumored to have made a different move... No word as to what. Troy Brouwer to Sens perhaps... Seventh Pick Jets take MARK SCHEIFELE C Bit of a surprise there... These picks are making it better for us, keep leaving defensemen there. I guess Scheiffle is THE climber of the Draft. What a rise...

Fourth Pick NJ selects Adam Larsson D Islander could go any way right now. Odds are they want a Defenseman, but they could try and get more scoring to draw crowds. Couturier or Hamilton likely picks next. Fifth pick Islanders take Ryan Strome C Wrong Ryan to take IMO. I digress. Sens pick next, and they need everything. Some think that there could be a trade here involving this pick for Gaborik. I doubt that, but we shall see quickly. My prediction is offense --- Sean Couturier C. Didn't work last time, might as well try again. Sixth Pick Sens take MIKA ZIBANEJAD C The climber of the draft. The winner of the draft so far, jersey makers. Lots of letters to throw on jerseys.

Word has it they like RYAN MURPHY more. Larsson more likely.

NJ has a tough call now, do they go with the Dman they like best or that the world likes best. Larsson is the most likely call next. Protects the puck, compared to Zetterberg. He really is a calm player. They love him in Florida.

Feed was lost, scared me. JONATHAN HUBERDEAU is the likely third pick. Landeskog is the type of player who could end up being their captain. Great pick. If someone wants to make sure they get Larsson, here is where you trade. Third Pick Florida Panthers select Johnathan Huberdeau C

Smyth trade NOT confirmed by Oilers GM. Might be a trade offer for the Avs pick, based solely on delay. GABRIEL LANDESKOG second pick Colorado Avs.

TSN reporting Oilers will send Gilbert Brule to LA for Ryan Smyth.

#NHLDraft I am ready for it. This is going to be fun. @Majsheppard if you want the retweets of all the action.

That hasn't been a really good indicator of quality. A good rookie might just be a good one year wonder.

Reports are that Campbell is in play, but NOT traded to CBJ. Anyone who might not be around for the Draft or trades, I will be scouting and tweeting if you are looking for any info on the road.
