It was really cool when Malkin singled Gonchar out last night during his speech. He obviosuly thinks the world of him. SG is a class act. It goes to show how important it is to have mentors around for young players. I doubt Karlsson or Spezza would be the players they are today without Alfie.
It was really nice of Evgeni to dedicate his trophy to Gonchar. I hope Gonchar can do the same if we end up drafting a Russian prospect this draft.

Your post just made me think. What if we draft Grigs (plus sidenote i think Grigs plays like Malkin/Yashin) and he becomes like Malkin with the help of Gonch ohhh baby.
Toronto isn't a great place for these high profile prospects to flourish (though could change with Wilson gone now). The only guy who I'll worry about them drafting is Forsberg. That guy's gonna be a real good player no matter what. Hopefully Galchenyuk goes to the Habs.
I know it's silly for me to think this way but I worry of who Toronto will pick. :\
I'm very interested in who they pick. If the top 4 goes Yakupov/Murray/Forsberg/Galchenyuk (90% likely), and they want a forward, who do they pick? Grigorenko is unlikely, so Faksa, Girgensons, Teravainen, Gaunce?
With the Sens pretty much guaranteeing they will take a goalie at some point of the draft, I would mind seeing them use a later pick on a guy like Brandon Whitney. Good rookie goalie for Victoriaville, who is going to be handed the starting job next year.
Definite bias because he's a kid from Nova Scotia, but he has some chops. I am not as big a fan of using an early pick on netminders, preferring to find value later in the draft.
Do you know if it's possible to stream it on a phone too? Do you have to download an app or something?
I may have to head out about halfway through the draft for a family thing.
I just added 10 hours of mobile tv for free on my phone and can watch TSN/TSN2/NHL Network etc...
Even with this laggy phone it runs unbelievably smooth. I felt so cool and tomorrow I'm going to be purposely outside during the draft to watch it on my phone, hahaha :p

Its never a bad thing when Pierre gushes about your prospects. The guy clearly has a scouts eye. He was paid to do it after all. Glad he'll be on the broadcast.

Ya, I have a lot of respect for Pierre Mcguire's opinion on prospects. I remember he was one of the first people pimping Karlsson.
Anyways, I'm hoping for Ceci or Lindholm but expecting Maatta, which I would still be very happy with.
