NHL Draft

First topic message reminder :

Curious what anyone thinks about the upcoming draft. Here are the top 10. I grouped them in tiers. I really like Ritchie at 8 although he seems like a player Burke would take. Could you imagine him with Monahan? ANy thoughts on the top 10?

1. Reinhart

2. Ekblad

3. Bennett

---------------

4. Nylander

5. Draisaitl

6. Dal Colle

---------------

7. Ehlers

8. Ritchie

9. Fiala

10. Virtanen

---------------

Welp, Big days tomorrow. A billion rumors, any predictions on what happens?

Tbh rey. I really have no clue. At the moment the only thing I have to go on is that talon said there's a serious offer from Vancouver for the 1 overall and that's it. Beyond that I couldn't tell you what I think is going to happen just because it's shaping up to be a crazy day.

(And because the hype is so strong it's gonna be so boring tomorrow just watch lol)

these things never live up to the hype, but hoping at least one big name guy gets traded

I'd like to be a fly on the wall for all the phone calls and discussions though. Because the amount of talking and discussions that never lead to deals has got to be astonishing.

Yeah same. there's a few videos out there of teams in the war rooms. crazy sshiet

i enjoy the hype... not so much the let down. I think tomorrow will turn out alright. I think a couple of names get traded, and some we thought would will not. I think one or two of the top 10 picks will be traded and there's always some surprise. Enjoy tomorrow boys!

Rumors are swirling like crazy. Here's one for Fear, TSN radio thinks Eric Staal to Nashville will be likely done today.

FOR FREAKING WHO!!!  

lol... nashville eh? just after he gets his bro there. That'd be weird! My guess is it'd be for a defenseman plus...

not sure if i like what vancouver got for kesler

bonino had a great year but before that has done jack shit sbisa is ok as a young defensive dman and a low 1st in a weak draft   

Canuck fans are pissed. Bonino is slow, and soft. Sbisa is dumb, and it's a late 1st in a weak draft. Vancouver isn't done, but man, this is sad. The ship has sailed.

now they get dorsett from nyr for 85th pick. curious if van moves up to try to get isles pick at 5

Hornqvist, Spaling for James Neal. Wow. Good move Pittsburgh. Neal sucks.

youre a downer lol

Jimmy Rutherford strikes early.

That trade doesn't make sense for Pittsburgh. Lol.

neither has the last 10 trades he made for carolina. Some worked though

i like it for pittsburgh. Neal has been useful for a while now. he's a floater.

The retard flames strike again.

1st off: I hate Bollig. Second off, Enforcers are useless enough as it is, why do we insist on having two?

2. Who the hell is Mason Mcdonald and why did we pick him with the 34th overall pick.

Ffs.

at least you guys got benett.

Canes took glen Wesley's son and Detroit traded up to get turgeons kid

Did y'all see gagner for Purcell and then they flipped him to the yotes for a 4th rounder? I've never seen prices so low on some guys. A year ago oil fans wanted skinner when Carolina needed a third line center

No kidding. And it was a 6th fear. Not even a 4th lol

I'm just flabbergasted, who is Tampa trying to sign? Vanek? Niskanen? Was it worth trading a 24 year old with a ton of potential who had a bad season on a terrible team for a 6th round pick?

Was Carolina's phone broken? Gagner is exactly what this team needs.
