Proposal: First Overall Pick

What's with the hype around Nurse? From the videos I've seen he looks like Coburn 2.0. Good, but not someone to build a defense around.

Who else do you think we should draft?

I think he shows a bit more offensive capabilities and a more pronounced mean streak than Coburn at the same age, right?

I still think Phaneuf might be the better projection--a big hitter, risk-taking sort as opposed to a mobile defensive defenseman.

(I'm not saying that's a bad thing--that might be decent value at #11, but I'm not sure I see the makings of a potential #1 D.)

If you could get Jones, that would be intriguing.
