An Ape called Yoko said:I really hope Bäckström is selected by Washington instead. That would be the perfect match, and he will form a lethal line with Ovechkin in the future. Ovechkin scores the goals... and Bäckström assists him every time.

boredmale said:I would disagree, it makes to much sense to be likely. Somebody somewhere is going to pull a blake wheeler and once that happens everything changes.

What in the world would they need one for over a guy like Grabner?

DraftNET's Mock said:13. Team: Toronto Maple Leafs Player: Chris Stewart
Summary: Addressing the need for younger and more explosive forwards, the Maple Leafs select the 6'1", 227 lbs. wing, Chris Stewart, to eventually replace stars such as Owen Nolan or Darcy Tucker
Atlanta Thrashers Player: Nigel Williams
Summary: The Thrashers, who already have offensive superstars, Ilya Kovalchuk and Marian Hossa, will decide to beef-up their defense by drafting this intimidating 6'4'', 226lbs defenseman.

How many years ago did Nolan play for the Leafs as being "eventually replaced" he's not even on their damn team! Better question..
Was he a star when he played for the Leafs?
Tucker may be coming around, producing great numbers offensively and being his **** disturbing gritty self at the same time but I wouldn't consider him a star to any extent.
