If only we could have picked up first round draft picks for Vrbata and Hamhuis, as well as a draft pick for Hansen.

We could have maneuvered to obtain both the 2nd and 3rd overall picks. ;)
Am I the only one who read this as a joke and a play on how we got the sedins? Jets even added a winking face. :laugh:

Puljujarvi out a few weeks:

The lower-body injury suffered by top NHL draft prospect Jesse Puljujarvi during a Finnish league game over the weekend isn’t believed to be too serious.

The 17-year-old winger “should not miss more than a few weeks of action,” agent Markus Lehto of Acme World Sports, told Sportsnet Monday.

Puljujarvi was hit awkwardly into the boards while playing for Karpat against HIFK in Helsinki on Friday night. The player’s legs were turned sideways when defenceman Lauri Taipalus bodychecked him hard early in the third period.

He didn’t finish the game and walked gingerly out of the arena.

Puljujarvi was second among European skaters in mid-season rankings by NHL central scouting, finishing behind expected No. 1 draft pick Auston Matthews. The Finn was named MVP and top forward at the world junior championship earlier this year after leading the tournament in scoring and helping the host country win gold.
