Lot different taking a gamble like that at #21 in a relatively weak draft vs. #12 in one of the stronger drafts in decades.

Pitts is about to have some crazy D depth.

Collberg was 17 in a league of men. He played very well in the WJC, against his own competition. He's also a forward.

Some people don't realize it's easier for a forward to develop than a defenseman, making them a better pick. Go figure.

I think we're in a position to swing for the fences rather than take a safe pick.

doh!

This day has been horrible so far for the Rangers. The whole division (especially if there's a realignment) has improved dramatically

[Hodgy OFWG]

damn :/

[Machinehead]

lol @ Pierre. "Pittsburgh got a couple of teenagers, give 'em the Cup right now."

[GWOW]

SEL performance means little, especially average performance. Dominating the international tourneys and dominating the SEL are telltale signs.

[Kershaw]

Pouliot
Letang
Orpik
Despres
Morrow
Harrington
Maata
Samuelsson

Am I missing any names?

[MDZ]

Pierre overhyping Maatta beyond imagination.

just prospects...we will see

[SnowblindNYR]

Can Pierre pleasure the Penguins some more? It's truly sickening.

[McDonagh]

Damn Penguins having a nice draft so far.

[Trojanman03]

2 top 10 d-man for pitt and they might get parise. im gonna be sick

[NYR Sting]

If Collberg is there, take him. If not, trade down and get another second or third round pick.

Thinking the same, but I'll wait and see.

[Sick Rash]

Capitals and Penguins have done great tonight and they may very well be in our division. Terrible

I hate our division so much. Thank God for Charlie Wang. If they're able to put out a .500 team there

[Rangerfan4life90]

Pearson could be had in the 2nd round from what I'm seeing, wouldn't mind him there.

I wouldn't mind either Frk, Maatta, Kerdlies, Aberg, or even Malcolm Subban.

Gaunce or Colberg are my preferred picks. Really think they can turn into very solid players.

The most important one - Fleury

That's ok, we'll just stay the course!

The whole Finnish team was disgustingly bad. Nothing new. I said the same thing about Mikael Granlund 3 years ago in Ottawa and look what happened to him. Maatta had 32 points in OHL (23 in POffs) while he was 16. I would say someone is underestimating this player.

And yet 8 out of 10 picks were defensmen? Yeah, go figure.
