Don Waddell was just on Atlanta radio, said they were shopping around some of their 2nd round picks for an NHL player. He did not expect to make all of his 2nd round picks.

 

[Chileiceman]

Rask it is

 

[Steve L*]

Hardly a surprise for the Leafs there.

 

[Le Golie]

Poor Toronto. I guess they had to fill a hole, but Rask is not a 1st rounder in my opinion.

Has anybody had a better draft so far than Don Wadell and the Thrashers? They targeted O'Marra and Bourret, then picked up 2 second round picks and still got their man. Now if they can pick up a legitimate NHL player with a second rounder or two they have struck gold.

I'm happy with O'Marra for the Isles, but I was getting excited at the prospect of Staal sliding all the way to us. He's a sure bet as a 2nd or 3rd line center, but what kind of upside can we expect from him?

Lashoff for Boston

Shoot, I wanted Latendresse. McGuire likes the pick though.

"Has anybody had a better draft so far than Don Wadell and the Thrashers?"

I'd say the Pen's did pretty well

 

[KH1]

Lashoff=Overrated. If I were Boston I would've moved for Latendresse or Stoa.

 

[Levitate]

yeah atlanta has done well, which is good for htem since their drafts after the 1st round haven't been great

 

[Juni]

Devils take Niklas Bergfors

 

[DJ Spinoza]

As always, a really great pick by New Jersey.

 

[Juni]

TJ Oshie to St Louis

 

[Victory Ali*]

Hmm... a guy from Washington State going in the first round, interesting.

 

[Juni]

Edmonton take Andrew Cogliano

 

[The Kingslayer]

another small guy in Edmonton

 

[Hasbro]

Will someone pick up that damn phone?!

 

[FlyersProspect2]

With that ice surface, Cogliano is a very good match.

 

[KH1]

Nice pick for Edmonton. I like Cogliano a lot, he could be a big time scorer.

 

[Juni]

Calgary draft Matthew Pelech

 

[Le Golie]

I like that pick for Edmonton. He's an Oiler type player for sure.

 

[Hasbro]

Darryl! Darryl!

No Whammies!

 

[jcorb58]

I like Edms pick ...very sakilled forward

 

[Juni]

Avs trade their #27 pick to Washington for #47 and #52

 

[The Kingslayer]
