Love it for the Stars.

Makes no sense for Anaheim. Well not NO sense...but it just doesn't seem likely. They want to get bigger not smaller. Also Murray believes there's a definitive top 4 and then after that you can get equal talent at 6 as you can at say...15. So if they really want TT or a similar player they'll probably trade down with one of the teams that have two firsts (TB 10+19 Washington 11/16 buffalo 12/21).

I'd actually really like the TBL option if they like someone enough at 6 to trade 10 and 19.

Then maybe we can take someone like Maatta, Trouba, or Reinhart with 10 and Kerdiles, Thrower, Sissons, or Girgensons with 19

Keep mocking Murray to the Islanders and you will see one very happy fan base.

Honestly, I want Murray almost as much as I wanted Tavares.

Caps reach for a forward at 11 with Trouba on the board, then reach for a defenseman at 16 with Gaunce on the board. No me gusta.

Gaunce is painfully overrated. It's not something that should be too disappointing.

[JagerPuck]

If the Flyers get Koekkoek I'd be happy. He'd fill an organizational need we've been lacking for 4-5 years.

[IrishPaulie]

Peter Chiarelli doesn't like drafting goalies in the first round. With the draft being so top heavy with quality d-men he's probably going to take whichever one falls to him.

IMO with the scenerio you laid out I see Boston going with Lindholm or Thrower.

Tampa doesn't want TT as we'd prefer Reilly, I can see us moving up but 2 1st's is too much for 4 spots. I can see if trading with Minn cause they're the only team ahead of us I can see taking Reilly.

BOS will take Lindholm at 24 in that situation, they dont draft goalies in round 1. even though i do like him as a prospect (Vasilevski)
