With the next selection in Angelo's draft, the Detroit Red Wings are very proud to select:
D - Jack Johnson
Analysis: (From Sportsnet) Possesses good size, excellent all-around instincts, physical prowess and offensive potential. Is never shy about laying on the body.
would like to confirm our selection of our new 2nd line center Tomas Plekanec
we feel that Carolina has very solid and young center depth with Plekanec and Backstrom. We hope that the veterans like Morrow and Iginla will lead them and make them grow.
Detroit has been auto'd Jason Arnott
NYR selects Sergei Zubov
Buffalo selects Chris Drury
Philadelphia selects Robyn Regehr
Dallas selects Alex Tanguay
all via list.. loving the list people
hey sorry, wow it went fast today, I was out all day and I sent the message to skip me so I'll make my picks soon, a lotta good players got out though, oh well.

Sorry, about the auto. Didn't anticipate the draft moving this fast. For future reference, if I am passed my time limit, can I be skipped?
Also, if it's no trouble, I'd like to switch Arnott for Jordan Staal.
haha since we only get to keep 6 players anyways I want to make my team the Staal team. On a regular bases I probably wouldn't have made these picks but hey I like to be different so here are my picks.
The Ottawa Senators are proud to select Jordan & Marc Staal.
Analysis: The Senators feel that having a good team means one thing but having chemistry with your line-mates is another. You can get many good players together and put them on random lines however you can't get the same chemistry if they were playing with there normal team-mates or who the play most comfortably with. This is why the Sens have decided to go a different route and get the 3 brothers playing together and play hockey how they have been playing since childhood.
Note: Eric Staal is very happy and decided to take a 3 million dollar decrease
With their re-pick (Sorry again!), the Detroit Red Wings are very happy to select:
D - Anton Volchenkov
Analysis: (From Sportsnet) Plays with tremendous poise. Has a mean streak and is not shy about hitting the opposition. Is one of the best shot-blocking defensemen in NHL history.

Whoa. I said to ignore that list!!! I quote my PM, "Only make the second pick if I haven't made it after like 3 hours. If my internet starts to work again, don't pay attention to the second list. I'll try to get back to you." Sent 6:21PM on 8-22-08, and my other PM, "My internet is working now, and you don't have to use my list for my next pick, I'll be able to make my next pick." Sent at 9:11PM on 8-22-08. I think I should be able to change my pick because I said on two occasions that you don't need to use that list, and that list was not even intended for this pick, it was intended for the pick before this one, the one I used to pick Alexander Frolov. I don't think I should be fined either, and angelo25 can probably vouch for me because he probably still has these PMs in his inbox.
