[King'sPawn]

LA certainly didn't, with their first two picks going to D-Men whose stock has done nothing but take a big fat plunge since last year.

 

[Crosby=Gretzky]

Scalzo jr. in the 9th round was a steal. And Little was selected even though he's a '06.

 

[Fan.At]

Korhonen was picked twice

 

[ZombieMatt]

Lots of totally bizarre picks. Slava Trukhno lasts to round 4? He's recognized as a potential late first rounder. Ozzy Bartulis to round 7?

Anikeenko is drafted twice...

 

[FacelessButcher]

It's kind of hard to gather exactly what happened the way you have that listed, Edmonton seemed to have a pretty good draft though.

edit: Buffalo had a strong draft, not sure why Chicago had so few picks but it's first two seem solid relative to their position.

 

[FINNtastic]

Korhonen was picked twice

And so was Jussi Makkonen...

 

[Kaizer]

Even without Crosby ... Syvret, Stastny and Hensick look like good picks for Colorado. And with Crosby it looks awesome.

 

[Debrincat93]

hensick was a steal comming from a UofM watcher and fan. I see comrie in him completely. Shifty, creative, amazing hands, 2nd line center potential

 

[McDonald19]

I'd be beyond thrilled if Anaheim got Jack Johnson.

Johnson-Smid

 

[Le Golie]

Colorado runs away with this one.

 

[Fozz]

That's a pretty confusing list...
Why would Pittsburg pick Price at #8 is beyond me... They already have Fleury!

 

[FearTheFlyers]

That's a pretty confusing list...

It's not actually Pittsburgh.

 

[Safir*]

* What are the details of the COL-VAN trade (Crosby) ?

* Bourret is too high, Johnson is too low-- With the #3 pick Buffalo would be smart to pick JJ.

* Pittsburgh won't take another goalie in the first round

* Edmonton has two good goalie prospects, why would they take Levasseur?

* Would Brule play for the Canucks? I heard some rumors about him being not too keen on staying in Vancouver.

 

[Kimi]

I'd be beyond thrilled if Anaheim got Jack Johnson.

Johnson-Smid

I was thinking that same thing when I read it. A nice looking blueline for the future!

 

[Mesrine1975]

thanks

Thanks for the replies and for the little mistakes that we didnt see while doing it. Its not a draft with the NHL roster, its a fantasy hockey league who runs since 6 years so Pitts doesnt have Fleury and Anaheim doesnt have Smid. Our Crosby trade was;
To Colorado; 1er van 2005
To Vancouver; Ladislav Nagy, Ales Hemsky, Andrei Markov, Bobby Holik, Manny Fernandez, 6eme 2005, 2eme 2006, 1er 2007 et 25M$

 

[Mesrine1975]

I forgot

I want to do an article with your comments, a resume of your comments for an article about the draft in the league, there is alot of experts here.

 

[Rich09]

Reminds me a lot of an old trade... lets see..... Quebec - Phylli!!!!???

I think that the 3rd GM was drunk! How can you pick Bourret ahead of Johnson, Brule, Kopitar and Ryan!!!??

 

[Rowley Birkin]

Kopitar looks nice in Buffalo, i would have no complaints if that actually happened.

 

[Fozz]

It's not actually Pittsburgh.

I see. Then why even bother putting the team names in there?

 

[Kaizer]

I see. Then why even bother putting the team names in there?

Cause he wants opinions on draft by teams not by order I think.

 

[Wonder Boy]

Boston started off okay but made a huge mistake with Ryan Wilson with the 3rd pick. I would have taken Matt Niskanen or Paul Stastny with that pick. Colorado is clearly the winner.

 

[Kaizer]

Just note how good Buffalo drafted. Kopitar, McArdle, Mikkelson, Bertram, Cogliano, Frazee. Nice moves by GM.

All these for Crosby..... Hope he's not a bust ...

 

[Freaky Habs Fan]

All these for Crosby..... Hope he's not a bust ...

Even if he's not a bust, Vancouver wins that trade easily!!!
