[Hello Johnny]

if the draft happens like that the sun will explode

 

[Reilly*]

I thought Florida only got Detroit's 2nd rounder this year from Bertuzzi?

 

[Dumpster Flyers]

I regret wasting my time on an ESPN hockey article.

 

[Timeless Winter]

No Lars Eller?? ouch, bad job espn

Interesting.

I have to say, if the Blues were able to get two players like Cherepanov and Gillies they would have to be overjoyed.

 

[kasparaitis666]

Not to mention they got wrong the player bio for Van Riemsdyke.

His competitive hockey prior to joining the U.S. national development program last year consisted of playing high school hockey at Brick High School in New Jersey, which isn't exactly Shattuck St. Mary's or Notre Dame in Wilcox, Saskatchewan.

He played for Brick Hockey Club, and Christian Brother Academy (high school) prior to the NTDP.

So, who did the Habs acquire to drop to 24th?

And who did Kevin Lowe sleep with to get Kyle Turris?

 

[Junius]

This is really poor. Turris at #6? Great for Edmonton but not going to happen.

Lots of other problems with this. Who is this guy?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

What the ****? The Rangers pick 17th, jackasses.

ESPN is ajoke.

Detroit picks 27th anyways. They can't even get the teams order right, nevermind the players.

Edit: so they've really botched the picking order

I enjoy reading ESPN's NHL coverage because they are respected within the hockey community for their expertise in everything hockey, particularly their draft coverage.



Don't ask for a smiley, you get it.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hahaha, when I noticed the order was wrong.. I clicked that big X.

 

[kostitsyn1489]

Habs pick 22 and preds 24... is a guy got paid to do this? He doesnt worth is pay check for sure.

 

[hockeyfan99]

can somebody explain how NY Rangers fall from 17 to 23 in the draft or i missing something

 

[PSUhockey34]

I knew it be a horrible even before I clicked on the link...it looks like the messed up a lot of draft positions, Capitals are picking 28th not 29th...how in the hell did it get posted liked that with so many obvious errors

 

[FlareKnight]

I'm happy the Leafs ended up with Backlund since he might end up with them. But a lot of that draft didn't make sense to me. Especially Eller not being in the top 30, no way is that happening.

 

[Hello Johnny]

Habs pick 22 and preds 24... is a guy got paid to do this? He doesnt worth is pay check for sure.

i think the preds got their pick back from Philly by trading Hartnell and Timmonen for it...strange to me

so lets recap:

Philly gets:
Timonen, Hartnell, Upshall, and someone else

Preds get:
Peter Forsberg...

great job nashville/whoever they are now

 

[CuSa_1]

Only the Blues @9 is correct... we do not have 18 and 30.

 

[Plato]

what an f'ing joke

 

[jax00]

Burke taking a non-North American?

 

[MrAlfie]

turris at 6

nice job espn

 

[dank]

supremely pathetic..

a former ISS scout? hahaha..

 

[RipCityPuckers]

i think former is the key word there

 

[CamDegs13]

No way Hamill goes at 23. Turris will be a top 3 pick - maybe 4th at the worst, and some may think Gagner goes too early in that draft.

Aside from that I think it's decent.
