[Dellstrom]

Napoleon Dynamite is an Oilers fan?

Edmonton picks Draisatl, but man it seems like they will be bad forever.

Until they trade for Boychuck and Kelly. . .

Edmonton picks Draisatl, but man it seems like they will be bad forever.

I know it's not american football, but they should consider trading down one of these drafts. Why not do that, get more picks if possible, and focus on a reasonable area of concern, like defense? Just what I'd do anyway. There's a reason I'm not a GM in the league.

 

[EverettMike]

I feel badly for anyone drafted by the Oilers.

How many top-3 picks do they need to start contending? Not the Cup but the playoffs?

 

[KuralySnipes]

Not really anything surprising so far.

They need to compete in the regular season before either.

Settle Down Pierre..

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Back-to-back top offensive prospect C going to Alberta. The rivalry will write some new chapters after this.

Who got the best player?

 

[KuralySnipes]

These Canadian references are drawing blanks to me.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Monahan/Bennett/Backlund

Pretty decent center core going forward.

on the downside: you're on the oilers.

on the plus side however, free jerseys being thrown on the ice.

Personally, I am higher on Drasaital (spelling?), but not by much.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Still can't believe that Snow went from bad goalie directly to GM in 1 summer...

 

[KuralySnipes]

This draft class might surprise people, at least the top echelon.

just imagine how excited these kids must be.

"oh man, just think! in a few months i could be benched by the dallas eakin!"

 

[YNWABoston]

I'm really rooting for the NYI to win the #1 pick next year.. and have to give it away because of Garth Snow's total inepititude.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

who the hell is the random teenage girl no stage with the Isles?

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

No surprises With these top-5 selections. Besides maybe the lack of trades. What is going on with Spezza?

 

[YNWABoston]

Interested to see what Jim Benning does with his first draft pick as Canucks GM.. any guesses?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Bruins ultimate plan: Draft Joshua Ho-Sang, team with Lucic and Marchand, thus forming the most despised line in the NHL.

 

[robert terwilliger]

who the hell is the random teenage girl no stage with the Isles?

she was in charge of the lighthouse project.

 

[ranold26]

Draft is about to go full dartboard mode here soon...

 

[EverettMike]

No matter who Toronto picks, we will be told by all of their fans he will be better than Dougie.

So much hype, and I bought in
