I want Faksa and Ceci.....doubt either will last to 21, but 1 should be there at 12 I hope.

 

They both seem like a good balance between what Darcy and Lindy like, yet with some size and hockey smarts.

 

In a perfect world they turn into Bobby Holik and Scott Niedermayer

Guess Ted Black hasn't made his request yet.

Today's #NHLDraft 5pm on #NHLNetwork. JUST IN: 2013 NHL Draft to be hosted by @NHLDevils in New Jersey and 2014 @NHLFlyers in Philadelphia

 

Actually a smart move. Push it on down the road for 4 or 5 years, they need time to construct the facility they envisioned next to FNC. It'll give them something to showcase, and let's hope another project or 2 get going down there as well.

I think I'm going to be very disappointed today. The Sabres seem to be content to stay where they are in the draft. That will NOT get them Faksa - someone they could use badly. If they draft another Dman (other than Dumba) I'll be pissed (Murray will be gone). The last time they ticked me off was getting Kassian instead of Kulikov, but that turned out very well since we parlayed him into Hodgson.

 

I know that Devine is allergic to Russians, but Galchenyuk is an American. I'd give the Islanders the 12th pick, plus Adam or Roy to get their pick and take Galchenyuk. He can be a nr. 1 center.

 

Let's face it - we're not going to get a nr. 1 center in a trade. Staal shouldn't come here. He doesn't want to stay in Pittsburgh but wants to play with his brother - which is understandable. So we have to groom our own. Galchenyuk or Faksa can be that guy.

Doubt this is a credible source and I apologize ahead of time if its not but...

The Edmonton #Oilers are going to take (D) Ryan Murray with their #1 Pick at the #NHLDraft tonight. Do you think its smart move? @NHL#FF

 

I would trust it. Edmonton needs young D badly and Columbus wanted yakupov so they can justify getting rid of Nash before the season starts.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Where would Yakupov fit in with Eberle, RNG, and Hall? They need a big time D Man, it makes total sense.

If Murray does go number one overall, (and this is strictly hypothetical) would the Jackets accept a trade of our 4 top picks for their number 2 overall?

ANA Lubomir Visnovsky to NYI for 2012 2nd.

 

Bob McKenzie retweeting that Bobby Ryan wants to get traded, preferably to Philly.

 

That's a shame, seeing as he has no NTC and thus no leverage. They'll trade him for the best deal.
