The [glow=Black]Oxnard Crew [/glow] select:

G Rick DiPietro

GM Patty Ice sez:
"Big sigh of relief over here. I thought for sure he'd be gone by the time I picked again. There's not enough good things I can say about this young goaltender. I truly believe he will the next great goaltender. I've said this before but ya want your next Marty Brodeur then look no further than the Rick. The Crew is very excited to have this guy in net for years. "

[rinkrat13]

The Toronto Maple Leafs are proud to select from Fribourg, Switzerland - David Aebischer
and from Mississauga, Ontario - Jason Spezza

 

[Patty Ice]

The [glow=Black]Oxnard Crew [/glow] select:

D Brad Stuart

GM Patty Ice sez:
"Making sure I get my cornerstone players at each position, the Crew are proud to snatch up Stuey. Very few of these young defensemen available I hold in high regard as a true No. 1 defenseman but Stuart is definitely one of them (the other two having already been drafted). Great skating ability, big shot, and a hitting machine but is still prone to defensive mistakes, however, that is corrected with age. The Crew is proud to grab their number 1 choices at each position. "

[Dropkick Alex]

Vancouver Canucks are very pleased to select Marian Gaborik.

There he is

 

[Dropkick Alex]

If you have another draft with this 1978 rule I will join I hope you do.

 

[DownFromNJ]

We should make it more interesting next time and make it 1980

 

[Dropkick Alex]

We should make it more interesting next time and make it 1980

I would be down for that

 

[Jyssy]

Gloryhunters select: Tuomo Ruutu

 

[ES]

Gloryhunters select: Tuomo Ruutu

It took surprisingly long until someone got him. I was thinking him too, but I decided to go for a defenseman on 2nd round.

 

[Patty Ice]

Jyssy wouldnt make more sense to have an extra forward n an extra defenseman than 2 extra dmen? But if ya wanna keep it as is I'll be totally fine with that.

 

[DownFromNJ]

Doh, was hoping two more people would forget about him

Now, who to pick..

 

[kovalchuk17atl]

This draft's slowing down a lot...

 

[HAWKSWINHAWKSWIN]

Use the time shown. 12 hours and the next guy picks. If we wait we could be here until the end of June...

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Canucks select centreman Patrick Marleau.

 

[DownFromNJ]

The Albany River Rats select Robert Esche.
