No way he drops that far, what happened to the last 2 small defencemen that dropped, Kris Letang and Kris Russel, his first name may not be Kris but he's a great small defenceman and there is no way he drops out of the mid 2nd round, and he could go as high as 21 IMO.... He was a critical part for team canada in the under 18's, Sarnia never gave him a shot on the powerplay, but with canada he was on the top PP with Doughty, he is not the offensive defenceman that Russell is, and is not the leader that Letang is, but he is better skating and defensively than the other 2, and i think GM's have seen waht these guys have done, and see them again in Katic, and in a draft like this there is no way he will drop to the 4th round.
Cherepanov goes 2nd Overall to Philly
Boston and Toronto Make a deal swapping 1st round picks, Toronto takes Esposito at #8 and Boston takes Blum at 13
Colorado takes Petricki over the highly predicted Sweatt
With nothing to lose Anaheim takes Eller at 16
Calgary goes off the board to take Sutter at 18 (i guess wouldn't be a suprise)
Tommy Cross goes top 20 (19th to Minnesota)
Mark Katic goes first round (21st to Phoenix)
Mayorov drops out of the top 20 (22nd to Montreal)
Repik is taken 1st round (25th to Vancouver)
Jeremy Smith is first goalie taken (27th to Detroit)

Montreal drafts a goalie in the 1st with Esposito still on the bored; thousands of angry Hab fans storm the Bell Centre calling for Gainey's head. 2 years later, said goalie shaters multiple CHL records on his way to winning the memorial cup, and thousands of Hab fans post thousands of threads about how Gainey is a god.

Cherepanov has quite the range of predictions in this thread.
I've got him pegged in at 5th or 6th.

All right, here goes:
Turris 1st overall
Cherepanov drops out of the top ten.
More Americans are drafted top 15 than Canadians!!

1) Given that there isn't a consensus top 5, I can see a lot of swapping between teams in those positions, in efforts to try and get the player they truly want. Thus, I think 3 picks in the Top 10 will be interchanged.
2) I can see a goalie go in the first round. Enough teams have goaltending as a priority that they will make the pick, despite no goalie being ranked as first round material.
3) Colton Gillies will fall out of the first round. I thought he was much better than his stats suggested given his size and pedigree, but all the scouting reports seem to suggest otherwise
4) Lars Eller will go in the top 10. His hype seems to be rising.
5) Canadiens will take a high school defenseman for the second straight year (although, I hope not)
6) Esposito to Columbus.

Montreal gets Kyle Turris with 12th overall and then snatches Karl Alzner up with #22. They follow that up by drafting Lars Eller and Keaton Eleerby with their next two picks. Esposito goes to them in 5th round while Gillies in the 6th.

1) Calgary trades up from #18 to draft Brandon Sutter, by shipping Matthew Lombardi and their pick to make it happen .
2) Boston trades up from #8 to draft defenseman Keaton Ellerby at 6th by shipping Hannu Toivonen to the Oilers ..
3 ) Kevin Lowe then trades all 3 of his 1st round picks to the San Jose Sharks for Patrick Marleau.
4) Sergei Korostin -RW - Dynamo Moscow (Rus 2) is the sleeper pick and sneaks into the last few picks of the 1st round.
5) The Bashkirov twins will be drafted by the same NHL team.

Two goalies go in the first round.
Eller and Backlund are both drafted ahead of Espo.
One of the teams in the top ten goes way off the boards and will have us all going: huh
Detroit picks atleast three swedes.
thats not going out on a limb, thats a sure thing

Detroit trades into the top 5 to select Backlund?
i honestly dont think we will trade up in this draft. we dont really have the assets to do it and the draft isnt that good. if anything we will trade down.

Cherepanov goes 1st or 2nd overall.
Esposito goes 7th to Columbus, home crowd boos him ( I know I will since I'll be there).
Lars Eller drops out of the top 10 which is going out on a limb now considering his hype.
Luca
i goes top 20.
Ellerby drops farther than anyone expected.
Alzner doesn't go top 10 either.
