I'll take any remaining team.
What are everyones predictions on who goes first overall? I can't see Chicago passing on Turris frankly IMO.
I say Kane. He is more NHl ready and Chicago needs new blood and players now. Then JVR to Philly. They like them big and he is american. Great fit in Philly IMO. Then.....I can't tell you yet .
T'N'T, Toews and Turris.What are everyones predictions on who goes first overall? I can't see Chicago passing on Turris frankly IMO.
His offense is bonafide, but i question his size. Which i think would hamper him greatly if he made the jump to the NHL right away. Like Hemsky, he is too good for junior now, but not quite ready for the big show. Listed generously as 5'10" and 160 makes me wonder if that size of a frame can support the wear and tear of the NHL schedule. Yes he will put on some muscle and weight, but the odds are stacked against him IMO.
T'N'T, Toews and Turris.
I wouldn't be completely surprised to see the Hawks stunning the entire world by taking Esposito first overall. Simply because of the name Esposito.
Wow 1 hour away from controversy!!!
Will Chicago show up??
I'm leaving soon for mothers day(will be back around 9/10 PM). Just wanted to say that I back up any of Kane, Turris and Voracek nomination for n1 if needed(hopefully not).
Either Kane or Turris are fine with me. According to a poll on the Hawks section of the board Kane is the favorite.
With the 2nd pick in the 2007 NHL entry draft the are proud to select, Forward John Van Reimsdyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyk or however you spell his full name.
Did you PM C-Saku Koivu MTL to tell him it is Phoenix's pick?
With the 3rd overall pick the Phoneix Coyotes are proud and please to select from:
The BCHL Burnaby Express - C Kyle Turris
A though choice between him and Voracek but we can simply not pass up the potential of Turris here. Turris will probably be in the NCAA for atleast 2 years and were more than ready to wait for this kid to be ready.
Los Angeles (WpgKings13) is on the clock, PM sent.
