Lets go!!

 

[ScottyDont]

Aww I wanted to be first

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Aww I wanted to be first

Technically Nem was first ..

 

[sharks_dynasty]

Excited!

 

[Sharksrule04]

Here we go.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I think Bettman more than any other commissioner really does an awesome job playing up the crowd. Experience is a good thing I guess.

 

[Sharksrule04]

Nico should go first.

 

[sharks_dynasty]

Love how much hate he gets! It's universal in every city.

In contrast, the NBA commissioner didn't gets as much boos when the Warriors won recently and he said some words.

 

[Levie]

I'm excited for nothing to happen.

David Stern got more boos.

Everyone likes Adam Silver for now. Give it a few years though. It's NBA tradition that the commish eventually gets hated but everyone loves the deputy commissioner when he comes out to run the 2nd round of the draft.

I also think Bettman enjoys playing the villain now. Ever since the draft in New Jersey when he got booed while trying to announce the Corey Schneider trade. It was hilarious.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Yay, they just showed Timo's tweet on the tv.

 

[KirbyDots]

Mueller trade makes more sense now.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I'm not surprised. They traded for Mueller because of the Swiss factor.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I think Patrick ends up becoming the better player when all is said and done. Just a gut feeling.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Nico #1

 

[Sharksrule04]

It's amazing how much Switzerland has climbed for developing talent over the past 6-8 years.

 

[Levie]

Mueller trade makes more sense now.

That's a pretty lofty prediction that Hirschier is going to be playing in the AHL. Got anything to back that up?

 

[hohosaregood]

I think Hischier is the right pick now.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Honestly, Hischier and Patrick's facial expressions after that selection looked like both of them would rather go to Philadelphia.

 

[Satastic]

The Swiss really like their strong eyebrows. Him and Meier would fit together

 

[rangerssharks414]

The first post will be updated throughout the night by one of the mods. I think Nem is online. I'm not sure about slo or WTFetus.

 

[Satastic]

Wtf did that mic just ride from the ground

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

So this draft is supposed to be pretty wide open from this point on, right? Really no consensus picks anymore.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I like it that the Flyers guy just said the pick and got it over with.
