Twas the night before the Draft as I sat in “The Rockâ€

Comparing Jones and Mackinnon in TSN’s latest Mock

Sure Jones plays defense and has talent to spare

But Mackinnon is much desired if he fell there

…
The Panthers still wait as they ponder their pick

Hoping the Avalanche and Sakic are simply pulling a trick

But Also in waiting are the Bolts and Preds

Both looking for trades to move ahead

…
With each tweet by the all-knowing Bob McKenzie

The hockey world and twitter go into a frenzy

Rumors are received with such passion and vigor

Fans now only waiting for their team to pull the trigger

…

But even if you miss on the top two skaters

There is plenty of talent left in the first round and later

Barkov and Drouin will both be in waiting

Their talent and skill has fans and scouts salivating

…
After the top 4 picks there will still be value

A potential hall of famer or an all-star or two

Darnell Nurse falls into this group

Brought up right on McNabb’s chunky soup

…
Even later there are names to adore

Like Fucale, Pulock, Horvat, and Theodore

Not NHL ready but prospects to groom

With hopes of seeing them crack the NHL soon

…
Many Europeans will also soon call the NHL home

Skaters like Hagg, Yakimov, and Lindholm.

Though the International game may be different

Their talent and skills are more than sufficient

…
After hitting on skaters like Kane and Toews

Dale Tallon could play this draft in so many ways

Fans should support him no matter the case

As memories of Jack Skille he will try to erase

…
Now the wait continues for Sunday’s action

Names to be called and player satisfaction

The day will end with boy’s futures shining bright

Dreams coming true on the magic of draft night

Haha, thanks for the kind words! Not usually writing poems. The Panther site I write for (www.pantherparkway.com) asked me to do a "Night Before the Draft" piece ... apparently they meant for of one last draft preview, but I took it as a chance to spoof the night b4 xmas...glad it worked out! Once again, thanks, it was fun to write.
