[12# Peter Bondra]

I took Rask for COL cause he fell all the way to 27th. I know COL has Aebi, Sauve and Budaj but Rask at 27th was too hard to pass up and can be a good trade bait,

 

[Buffalo Stylee]

Great pick, Chain! Exactly as I would want it.

 

[gameface]

Well done!

I'm not as fond of the Canucks pick with Bourret, Bourdon and Staal still available, but it is something I could see them doing.

 

[Pangolin]

Well done!

I'm not as fond of the Canucks pick with Bourret, Bourdon and Staal still available, but it is something I could see them doing.

I'm higher on O'Marra than Bourret...I figured it'd not be as popular a pick but ah well. I see them both scoring 50-60 points but I like the leadership over the spark plug. And I think O'Marra's got a better chance of getting there than Bourret.
There are enough good defensemen in the second round that I didn't want to waste it with the 1st round too. So no Bourdon and Staal.
