Well Dale Tallon recently stated that he subscribes to the pick the best player available policy so whoever is the consensus #1 pick come draft time they will select him. Typical that the Hawks win it when there are no real super stars available but hey i'm not complaining
Well Charlie_Girl wanted Voracek, don't know if that still holds true.
I'm guessing Kane goes first to Chicago, Turris to Philadelphia, and Voracek to Phoenix.
Kane would look beautiful with Toews.
Oh, she does.
The Flyers are cursed this year. Can't win half of the games they play, and then can't win the damn lottery.
Hopefully Chicago wants to add Kane to the already plentiful stable of ex-London Knights.
Either Van Riemsdyk or Alzner to LA then.....
(April 10) - The Philadelphia Flyers will have the second overall pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft on Friday, June 22 in Columbus, Ohio. The Chicago Blackhawks won the draft lottery and will have the first overall pick. More details to follow. [more]
Toews-Kane-Bolland
Havlat - Toews - Kane
Assuming Kane comes up next season or the one after that.

Oh and sorry if i'm being stupid but the lottery only affects where the team picks in the first round correct?
i'm not quite sure Kane is NHL ready yet. He's still awfully small. While I think he will be a great player, 1 or 2 years in the AHL would do wonders for his game.
I wouldn't rule out Lombardi trading out of the 4th spot for more picks. Just a hunch but it wouldn't be a huge shocker considering the drop-off happens kinda early this year.
So does this mean that if the Oilers didn't win that last game against the Flames and THEY picked 5th overall instead of CHI, they'd be picking 1st now?
mhm, but you've also get defense to help Barker and Seabrook as well as a goaltender not named KhabibulinCould actually be fun to be a Hawks fan in a few years.
Havlat - Toews - Kane
Skille - Bolland - Ruutu
not a bad top 6 if all of them continue to develop. If the Hawks can persuade Havlat to sign an extension they could be a really good team in a few years.
