Anyone in Ontario know who's carrying the Pitt game? Nhl says CBC but they are showing the habs game and I can't find it anywhere

Dal Colle is going to be a good player in this league. It's the dream of a slim chance that the above plays out that makes me more than ok with the Isles defering the pick to next year. If that were to happen the Buffalo Sabres would be a dynasty for the next 10+ years.

I know it's very highly unlikely but let's not forget about that Blues pick. Maybe Miller doesn't resign.....

But when the Blues end up in third last.......

Well it's officially 5th overall.....

So who does Florida take? Who is it down to for us. I think Florida goes ekblad or Bennett. I really hope we take reinhart.

Agreed. Also surprised fleury is 10th. I was thinking of him going a bit lower. Although maybe with the lack of d in the top half of the draft some team will reach.

Ekblad Reinhart Bennett Draistil Dal colle Ritchie Ehlers Virtanen Kapenen Fluery

Atleast someone outside the top 5 didn't win, I wouldn't want to pick sixth this year. As Bob said there is a consensus top 5 so either we get dal colle or another possible ball in the mcdavid lottery

Being from Oshawa I watch him a ton. I love his size and he's great in front of the net on the PP but....the kid can not skate. I'm serious. Like brutal skating. If you can get a stream of the OHL Eastern Conference finals watch it; it begins Friday. I love his heart but not sure how he will translate with his foot ummmm 'speed'.

Remember guys, it's something that has to be resolved in the half hour time slot. So I think the cow idea is out.

After watching the Petes/Gens series and even a bit of the Kingston/Petes series I don't want Ritchie. He takes a ton of really dumb penalties. He reminds me alot of Kassian which some here may really want. To me he plays more closely to actual Zach Kassian than the legend of Zach Kassian. Was that the term we used for him? It's been a couple of years.....

That is correct.

Nicely done.

Ya we're ###### :P

Hahahahah thats great.

That's an interesting list. I really like Dal Colle but not sure he should be 3rd. Draistil at 6th and Bennett 4th?

Wow, that's awful. Hahhaha, my bad, I somehow read 4/19.

It actually is pretty stupid. I'll watch only because we have a shot at the 1st pick. I watched last year and they just held a card and counted down right from 14 all the way down to 1. The only surprise was seeing the Colorado Florida switch at the end. What if they start with 14 and it ends up showing Nashville? Then there's not mutch of a countdown, we already know Washington had to have won it. Kind of dumb. I wish they showed the balls all bouncing around and them select the winner. Then use the other 25 minutes to analyze the top players and maybe what teams may do now that the draft order is set. So it makes sense we win it this year then. That would mean 5 of 20 would have won thus 25% which the odds are.

That's where I'm at. As long as the isles pick ends up being fifth it's a win win.

That's what the Sabres have been telling us for two years now. What was the phrase, something about patience? Let's hope that is the plan and they make a decision in July. Talk about a major distraction when they are trying to sign this 'great goaltender'. (The great goaltender part is not directed at you).

No, that's what I thought at first too. I believe it's the Wild's second round pick. I got Buffalo 4 straight times to start the simulator. Got Florida on my 5th try.

It's been a long season...... One more to go :ph34r:

1st the Isles keep the pick 5th the Isles keep the pick 6th the pick goes to the Sabres The top 5 seems concensus, who would we go after with the 6th overall? I was really hoping the Sabres could have pulled off the win last night to not have a chance of falling into this predicament.

Hockey fans are knowledgable people. I'm sure many diehard isles fans (isn't that all they have left) realize the situation. Many have heard about next years draft and I'm sure their talk radio shows have discussed this situation. I doubt many would think that by giving up the pick this year is management saying they will be much worse next year. With the state of the isles as a middling team most must know tht if they miss the playoffs you have a shot to win the lottery. Plus with the rumours of possibly changing the system next year I would not want to give up my lottery ball for a generational talent, especially if their pick ends up being 6th.
