What the hell! 2007 ain't that far off is it?

[Jovofan]

OK so I was bored and figured for the helluvit I'd make a top 5 mock for the '07 Draft. I had my ISS Guide laying around and I was reading it this afternoon and had to urge to make a mock, no scientific research, no real thought, just having a bit of fun that I thought I'd share:

1. Chicago - RW Jakub Voracek
2. Washington - C Logan Couture
3. NY Islanders - D Mark Katic
4. St. Louis - LW Angelo Esposito
5. Pittsburgh - D Nick Petrecki

Here's mine

1. Pittsburgh (winning the lottery) Angelo Esposito
2. Chicago (pissed about losing the lottery : Jakub Voracek
3. Edmonton : Mikael Backlund
4. St Louis : Nick Petrecki
5. Florida : Logan Couture

Espo would be a great fit for the Pens. Imagine him playing on the same line as any of the centers they have there right now. I was going to put Espo on the Pens in my mock but figured that there is no way the Blues would pass on his upside after passing on Kessel this year.

That Pittsburgh offense would look scary, Oilers of the 80's anyone ?

Crosby Malkin Staal and Esposito

 

[Spetzky]

1. Angelo Esposito

3. Jakub Voracek

That should be illegal.

 

[CertifiedPublicGuin]

That should be illegal.

Agreed, but I think people probably should start getting used to that idea. Don't get me wrong, as a Pens fan, I am certainly not looking forward to ANOTHER pathetic season, but it seems as if it is in the works again.

 

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

That should be illegal.

I don't agree. Hockey team is made up of 20 players, not 4

 

[Husky]

Florida: Couture
St Louis: Backlund
Washington: Esposito
Pittsburgh: Petrecki
Phoenix: Voracek

1) Toronto -> Angelo Esposito.

 

[Crosby=Gretzky]

1) Toronto -> Angelo Esposito.

Espo would be a good fit for the leafs, but I don't think that they'll be that bad, and get the 1st pick. But I believe that Esposito will be the first overall pick in the end.

I hope the OIlers do a little better than that (unless that's Anaheim's pick), but if they do end up in that situation, don't bet on them taking Backlund over Couture.

yeah kind of like Gretzky, Messier, Anderson, Kurri and if M-A Fleury develops, Fuhr.

btw, I am NOT individualy comparing the Penguin players to the Oilers of old.

 

[Buffalo87]

I don't agree. Hockey team is made up of 20 players, not 4

Umm..so you don't agree to have 4 players like that on a team would be unreal?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Here's hoping Dallas makes a deal with St. Louis or another bottom-feeder for that much-coveted 1st overall pick.....Dallas hasn't had a pick higher than 20th for like 10 years, they're DUE!!

Why do you have Esposito going 4? Are you picturing Phil Kessel v2.0? Where everyone over thinks it, and he drops to 4 or 5 like Kessel.

IMO, Kessel and Esposito are going to be the best of their respective draft classes.
