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.
