Things that will happen on 2006 draft day

[xtra]

free falling Kessel?


Have any of you actually watched him play?

no i still think he is the best forward in the draft but that doesn't mean teams do and i figure that Iss and Mckeens know more about what teams are likely to do than me.

 

[insider]

Edmonton picks up Joensuu with the Niinimaki compensation pick, ending up with another Rob Schremp player

 

[Kvashinator12]

Kessel drops out of the top 5

 

[Garp]

Edmonton picks up Joensuu with the Niinimaki compensation pick, ending up with another Rob Schremp player

In fact, I could see someone picking Joensuu in the late first... Maybe Dallas?

 

[Pilot]

Obviously, I didn't mean the Leafs would move all four of those young defensemen ...

But I guess I didn't clearly state that .... fixed now though.

 

[insider]

Kessel drops out of the top 5

not gonna happen

 

[X0ssbar]

Chicago's draft Board matches The Hockey News pick for pick....

I don't know whether to or at this post.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Niinimaki compensation? What happened to him

 

[insider]

didnt get signed

 

[Rise from the Ashes]

what rnd pick to they get?

 

[The List Of Jericho]

didnt get signed

IC, does he go back into the draft? If so where do you think he goes

 

[insider]

what rnd pick to they get?

2nd

 

[Haute Couture]

1. No Russian will be drafted in the first round, even though there are a couple of worthy ones (Alexandrov, Vasyunov, Zharkov) - the transfer agreement isn't signed.

2. Carl Sneep and David Fischer (two HS defensemen) will be picked in the first round and higher than expected, too, with stupid HF fans going: "whaaaaa?"

3. Michael Frolik will fall out of top 10.

4. Nigel Williams will fall to latter rounds.

5. As much as all of us love them, no Bertuzzi-like trades will happen, PERIOD, and especially not with top 5 picks involved.

6. Erik Johnson is gonna go to St. Louis as a replacement for Pronger.

 

[Rookie Chargers]

-Habs make another surprising pick.

After trading for 5th overall since they like that spot so much.

 

[Debrincat93]

detroit will pick a kid who slipped on a ton of radars (a la like mcgrath, kindl, ect..)

 

[SPORTSMANIAC]

I wouldn't be surprised to see NYR trade Al Montoya for a top 15 pick maybe LA.

 

[Levitate]

I wouldn't be surprised to see NYR trade Al Montoya for a top 15 pick maybe LA.

I wouldn't be really surprised either way with that. On one hand it could make sense if they really believe in Lundqvist (and it could depend on his playoff performance) but on the other, they may not want to trade their only goalie prospect at this point.

I definatly think the Rangers will be trying to trade up however, and can see them using some of their prospects to do so. Hartford is going to be a huge logjam next year, so it wouldn't surprise me to see some moves made to clear things up a little

In a dramatic twist of fate, The Islanders announce they have re-hired Milke Milbury as the GM right before the draft begins. Mike promptly rushes up to the podium and annoucnes the Isles have traded Rick DiPietro to the Phoenix Coyotes for Oleg Kvasha. The Isles draft Leland Irving with the 7th pick.

Afterwards, Milbury tells reports, "If this doesn't work, then off with my head."

 

[Frenzy31]

The Blues 2nd 1st rounder will be someone no one has ever heard or projected to be a late 2nd rounder.

The Blues will also trade Brewer for help at forward.

Phoenix will make an odd move that will have everyone scratching their heads.

Pitt will take Kessel w/ the 2nd overall pick. They will then have an elite russian, elite Canadian, and a great American.

 

[WILDTATE10]

I like the trade that the first poster made for the Wild.

 

[Reaper45]

L.A. will draft the guy who's fallen the most at #11, like they did with Tukonen and Kopitar.

 

[nuckfan insk]

watch for nonis to be the most active and make the biggest splash on draft day

 

[clay]

Canucks will try and trade up for a top 6 pick. They will possibly trade Bertuzzi and or Morrison, along with their first round pick, and try to go after Staal.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

1. The canucks make a move up in the draft(involving their first rounder)

2. The Canucks make another trade that doesn't involve their first rounder

3. The Bruins Stay Put and Grab the Free Falling Phil Kessel

4. The Blues move down as a bidding war begins between Washington, Pittsburgh and Columbus for the first ov pick and the right to draft Johnson

5. Atlanta Trashers move down in the draft

6. Los Angles goes off the board a bit and grabs Bernier(goalie)

7. If Columbus loses out on E.J. they switch picks with Minnesota who grabs Okposo

8. Bryan Little falls to the Devils where ever they pick

9. Toronto grabs Ty Wishart

10. Tlusty falls out of the top 15 or goes top 7

Toronto will not pick Wishart we need scoring forwards to go along with our play makers, look for them to grab a guy like Tlustly, Sheppard,Little and possibly Frolik if he falls

 

[firstroundbust]

I wouldnt doubt if Minny makes a trade day move, probably a pick for a current player
