Nail Yakupov will be drafted by the Montreal Canadiens.

 

[La Bamba]

I hope he goes to Winnipeg, he can be their new Teemu Selanee

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

Nashville Predators.

 

[Jabba11]

I hope he goes to Winnipeg, he can be their new Teemu Selanee

No one will ever replace Teemu Selanne in Winnipeg.

 

[wings5]

Either Columbus or Winnipeg, Winnipeg looks awful as a team and Columbus has no goaltending.

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

Whoever acquires the Leafs' first rounder

Seriously, I think that he'll go to one of Florida, Winnipeg, Ottawa or Phoenix. But it's still a little too early to tell.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Have a feeling its a western team.
I think Calgary. Not that they have a Bad team right now, but i think they stay middle of the pack and Sutter decides to blow it up a bit.

Calgary - Yakupov
Ottawa - Grigorenko
Winnipeg - Murray
Columbus - Galchenyuk
Phoenix - Ebert

 

[quesosauce]

as long as its not the caps due to the avs being last i dont care who he goes to, but the avs wont finish last, they are a decent team so far so its moot

 

[YNWA14]

It won't be Ottawa. Seriously.

 

[Kershaw]

It won't be Ottawa. Seriously.

They have a chance with two horrible goalies, a young defense with 2 over the hill veterans. The Ottawa Senators are a good bet to allow the most goals this year.

 

[Mathradio]

Columbus because I don't think Montreal will suck enough for Yakupov, just Grigorenko, Ebert or Murray.

 

[KingJet*]

The Winnipeg Jets

9 - Hull to Kane
10 - Hawerchuk to Yakupov!!!

Also how sick would this line look Yakupov-Scheifele-MacLean

 

[AlMo]

Columbus Blue Jackets

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

the Calgary Flames

 

[Robin Lehner*]

Jets:Yakupov
BJs: Grigorenko
Sens:Forsberg

 

[Pick Six]

It won't be Ottawa. Seriously.

You seem to be hard-set on this. Who finishes below Ottawa? And why don't you think they'll finish last?

yeah, but they have been scoring a lot of goals too

 

[Rhaego]

The Washington Capitals. Just a few weeks ago everyone was on this bandwagon and now its stopped. What gives?

 

[Iamok]

You seem to be hard-set on this. Who finishes below Ottawa? And why don't you think they'll finish last?

Columbus, Winnipeg, and Phoenix don't have a #1C like Ottawa does, and their goaltenders aren't as capable of stealing games in the fashion that Anderson can. I'm not saying Ottawa will finish higher than them, but it's certainly not inconceivable.

Anderson and Auld? horrible goalies?

 

[Rhaego]

Anderson and Auld? horrible goalies?

Do you think differently?

 

[Jumbo*]

Im hoping for the Jets.

If not them then Oilers or Sens.

Hopefully not Jackets. Boringgg

 

[Stone Clode]

Do you think differently?

Hey, at least he's not Alex Auld...barely.

 

[OiledUp]

...the russian army.

In all seriousness my guess would be Jets, Sens, Yotes or my very own Oilers.

And why wouldn't Ottawa be capable of finishing last, that d is just awful in their own zone.
