2009 NHL Entry Draft

McDonald19 · 06-26-2009, 07:19 PM

Hoping Kassian slips to 15th.

Jimgrayson · 06-26-2009, 07:20 PM

Joe Nieuwendyk shows us how to announce a draft pick. Short and sweet.

And Bob McKenzie was wrong footed, that's a rarity

Talentless Practise* · 06-26-2009, 07:20 PM

Kadri @7, Glennie @8, wow.

Benny Lava · 06-26-2009, 07:20 PM

Glennie looks like he's 12 years old.

snarktacular · 06-26-2009, 07:21 PM

Some surprises with Glennie and Kadri going a little higher.

I kind of wanted Glennie and would have entertained a move up for him.

jax00 · 06-26-2009, 07:23 PM

Ducks will have a chance to take one of:
Kassian
Schroeder
Kulikov
Cowen
MPS
Ellis

Worth it.

I'd shy away from Kassian: Ducks-type player but high bust potential.

To that list I'd add Moore also.

Jimgrayson · 06-26-2009, 07:28 PM

Per James Mirtle. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sport...rticle1198318/

Tampa Bay are looking to move up and get another first rounder
Lawton: "We are trying to move up for another first round pick...offered our two second rounders or possibly next years first."

They have 32 and 52 IIRC, anyone interested? I don't think it's enough personally.
Although I'm intrigued about maybe taking a gamble on how they do next year

Elvstrand · 06-26-2009, 07:28 PM

Sorry for the delay, had some problems on SvenskaFans.com... Should be able to update faster now.

Fighter · 06-26-2009, 07:34 PM

I wonder if the acquisition of Sbisa will change our plan for the selection in this draft. Hopefully not, but our prospect pool definitely need a good forward.

Benny Lava · 06-26-2009, 07:34 PM

I didn't know the kid from Bad Santa was an Oilers fan...

Talentless Practise* · 06-26-2009, 07:35 PM

I'd trade both our firsts this year for Tampa's first next year. Taylor Hall anyone?

Fighter · 06-26-2009, 07:35 PM

MPS to Edmonton

It could easily end up that way, I'd be interested to see the asking price for that pick.

Ha.

Will Edmonton get an Anze Kopitar-like value with their dropping player? Or will they get a Rob Schremp/Lauri Tukonen?

Paul4587 · 06-26-2009, 07:42 PM

I'd shy away from Kassian too, he's not going to be as good as people think..

Giguere27 · 06-26-2009, 07:45 PM

Little bit more luck and we could get Kulikov

Fighter · 06-26-2009, 07:45 PM

Nashville took Ellis: good, I didn't want him, he's like Bettman' size

Jimgrayson · 06-26-2009, 07:46 PM

I kind of wanted Ellis even with the size issues

Fighter · 06-26-2009, 07:48 PM

If you want D, Moore > Ellis IMO.

snarktacular · 06-26-2009, 07:49 PM

The good thing about Ellis was that he wasn't supposed to be soft despite his size.

I'm neither high nor low on him.

Our pick is coming up soon.

Jimgrayson · 06-26-2009, 07:49 PM

Kessel to the leafs for kaberle!

ha, i missed the bit that said rumour

Paul4587 · 06-26-2009, 07:52 PM

Hopefully we get Moore or Schroeder.

snarktacular · 06-26-2009, 07:53 PM

Minnesota can't even get a 2nd round pick for 12? And 77 isn't a particularly high 3rd either...

edit: de Haan. Wow. I liked him, but not #12 overall liked.
