[Lowetide]

How much longer does Seachd have? I pmed him last night but I don't think he's been on today.

 

[Seachd]

The Edmonton Oilers are pleased to select, from the Sudbury Wolves, Marc Staal.

(Sorry, LT. I'm out of town this weekend, so I'll get back to you later on today. Not that that helps you move up now. )

 

[Skk82]

nevermind he showed up!

 

[Alain Racette]

All right! Go Staal!

It's okay, you chose the right guy so I can't get too mad.

 

[Hedberg]

Phoenix selects Alex Bourret from Shawinigan, QMJHL.

 

[Anthony Mauro]

TOR or any other mid teens team if you're interested in dealing the 13th-14th-15th-16th, let me know what the asking price is.(provided the guy I was targeting isn't taken by then)

[Shane]

Puckhead has until 8:05 PM EST to make his selection. Since he has not provided a list, I will make the selection for him.

 

[Skk82]

IMO Carey Price is the BPA, so i'd recommend him for the pick if the toronto GM's time expires.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

i was thinking the same thing. A future starter also would be a good thing to have in Toronto's system

 

[Shane]

That's who it was going to be. Toronto lacks a strong goaltender prospect, so I'd say he's just about the best pick for them at this point.

 

[Anthony Mauro]

Not like a fourth opinion was needed, but TOR could really use another great goaltending prospect. Tellqvist had a tremendous season for St. John's and should certainly be a great backup-capable starter(if Belfour gets bought out) for TOR next year. He's turning 26 in September and is not really a "prospect". After that, Racine and Pogge aren't much to put stock in. Knowing goalies take about 3-5 years to develop and mature, Price would be an excellent choice for them.

Guys, what are your opinions on my Latendresse pick?

His skating scares the pizzle out of me. I would've taken O'Marra.

 

[Lowetide]

So, I'm still waiting for an hour to pick for NJD right?

 

[Shane]

So, I'm still waiting for an hour to pick for NJD right?

Yeah. Unless of course you want to trade me your pick.

 

[Shane]

Alright, the Toronto Maple Leafs select goaltender Carey Price.

 

[Lowetide]

NJD trades C John Madden, the 14th overall pick and the 74th overall pick in the 2005 draft to NYR for RW Jozef Balej, the 32nd overall pick and the 67th overall pick in the 2005 draft.

NJD trades C John Madden, the 14th overall pick and the 74th overall pick in the 2005 draft to NYR for RW Jozef Balej, the 32nd overall pick and the 67th overall pick in the 2005 draft.

Trade is confirmed.

With the 14th overall pick the NYR select Luc Bourdon.

 

[Shane]

Trade is confirmed.

With the 14th overall pick the NYR select Luc Bourdon.

I saw that one coming. Geez. Kopitar and Bourdon? I hate you.

 

[Shane]

Trade Announcement:

To NJ: Jozef Balej, PHI 2005 2nd round pick (32nd overall), NYR 2005 3rd round pick (67th overall).
To NYR: John Madden, NJ 2005 1st round pick (14th overall), NJ 2005 3rd round pick (74th overall).

Who got the better deal? Vote on it!

 

[Hedberg]

What are the chances that Balej's Dance trades Balej?

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

With the 15th overall pick, the Ottawa Senators are proud to select from the Czech. Republic, Martin Hanzal.

I think he's the best player available at the moment. A big guy who has lots of offensive talent and the Sens are obviously good with European talent.

 

[Larry Fisher]

To NJ: Jozef Balej, PHI 2005 2nd round pick (32nd overall), NYR 2005 3rd round pick (67th overall).
To NYR: John Madden, NJ 2005 1st round pick (14th overall, Luc Bourdon), NJ 2005 3rd round pick (74th overall).


Good, smart trade for both teams. The Devils (Lowetide) add a top prospect, and two picks, while dumping Madden's salary. The Rangers (Balej's Dance) pick up Madden to replace Holik, which is an upgrade IMO, and add another solid prospect in Bourdon to go with Kopitar making the Rangers one of the big winners of the first round.

Good deal guys.
