Chalk up to the top 3, crazy. Excellent chance at top 2.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Nice .. top-2 for us. Power or Beniers .. I hope.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I will take 2 happily ... very nice.

 

[Soundgarden]

no. 2 congrats.

I used to live in Seattle for a while so will be keeping an eye on the Kraken.

 

[Frozen]

Yeah, very nice result with the 2nd pick.

 

[GM Armchair]

Feed me the updates. I can’t find it anywhere to watch!

edit: nvm just saw

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

Now draft Beniers

 

[Lunatik]

I hate that the Sabres won, would have rather had Anaheim or Devils before Buffalo, those tankers don't deserve shit. Seattle at 2 is good, but like all of us, was hoping for #1

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Imagine everyone was hoping Seattle’s would get the top pick, but moving up is nice and doesn’t really seem like one of those years with a clear cut top guy either.

 

[RainyCityHockey]

We're #2

 

[Larkin1578]

Seeing the Wings getting sixth (meh)...I was really hoping you guys would have got first overall. Buffalo didn't deserve it.

However, congrats on getting second overall! Good vibe for you guys!!

 

[wraparound]

verrrry happy with No. 2. no matter what we’re getting a solid cornerstone for our team’s future. cheers, y’all!!

 

[McDoused]

Grats on 2nd overall from Edmonton.

Thanks.
I expect Yzerman to make another great pick for you guys.

BTW: I'm really looking forward to watch Seider playing for you guys.

 

[Dog]

I'm amazed they moved to 2nd.. Looking good now to the expansion draft! Work your magic Kraken!

 

[Puckrobber]

I voted for 2nd in the poll, so, I'm glad it came to fruition. Only fans who were probably disappointed were Duck fans, falling to 3rd, behind an expansion team. Congrats, Kraken!

 

[Interior Cascadian]

With expansion draft projections broadly suggesting that Seattle should be able to put together pretty deep D and goaltending corps, and thin on forwards, I’m hoping they get Beniers to inject some blue chip forward talent over the first few years.

 

[Jdodd]

You have to think Beniers will be the 1st ever pick by the Kraken.... unless they love one of the other D men...

 

[J Corso]

Was really hoping for that 1st to start things off on the right foot, but happy with 2nd.

Its buffalo at 1st anything can happen. That includes us taking power with buffalo taking someone else.

 

[kihei]

I don't think we were eligible for #1, though I'm not absolutely certain of that. But, yeah, #2 is great.

 

[sigma six]

Picking at #2? Yes please! Whoever the pick is, I plan to put faith in Francis and his staff until they f*** it up.
With luck that early second rounder can be used to snatch up a falling gem or under the radar contributor as well.

Umm Its impossible for Seattle to screw this up... No one no matter who will take will be NHL ready immediately.

Yes we were. We had a 10% chance to land top pick.

You sound just like me after my other team took Nolan Patrick at the same spot! And the guy who went #1 hasn't done much either.
