Draft Predictions:

Colorado wins lottery.

1 - COL - Jones
2 - FLA - MacKinnon
3 - TAM - Drouin
4 - NSH - Barkov
5 - CAR - Nurse
6 - CAL - Lindholm
7 - EDM - Ristolainen? Mueller? Zadarov? Pulock?
8 - BUF - Nichushkin? Monahan? Shinkaruk?

Curious if we take Nichushkin if he falls to us, which looking at team needs, I think he will. Nashville wont take him considering what happened with Radulov. Carolina needs D. Calgary needs a center. They may take him, and if they do, that would be hilarious. Edmonton desperately needs D. I could see them trading down to obtain more picks and get their D later on. Should Lindholm be available at 7, I could see a team wanting to trade up to get him.

Monahan or Shinkaruk with 8, and Pulock, Domi, or Erne with the wild pick

Only way thats possible is by dealing Vanek.

What time does the lottery start/ is there any way to live stream it?

I'm thinking of switching it to the ex gf again.... Just to piss her off.



If she still visits the site like she used to when we were dating and not telling me about it. She thought she was sneaky...

A naked picture might peak the interest.....

Kerby Rychel with the Wild pick.

HELL YES
This kid has unreal potential...
I posted a link to a scouting report on him that compared him to Datsyuk and the Sedins... And he's BIG
This guy will be an absolute stud
I could see MacKinnon & Drouin turning out more like Weiss or Raymond & not the "superstars" ppl think they'll be...
Good players, but not "great"

Getting Barkov would give us such depth at the center position that we could trade for the defensive help we desperately (IMO) need

I want Miller and Vanek each traded for a 1st round pick +++
Something similar to the Pominville deal
If that means Ott wants to go too, that sucks, but Homer did say there was an offer for a 1st on the table
That could potentially give us FIVE 1sts and FOUR 2nds in this draft
I'd like that VERY much

That would give us so much young talent that we could then start to package guys for "studs" at needed positions to put together a real "team" instead of just a nice collection of talent

Even though Tampa traded for a goalie perhaps they would be interested in dropping to 8th. I think some teams will not mind dropping to 8th because there will be good talent at 8th

I'd love to see Lindy end up with the Avalanche.

Computers weren't invented last time the leafs won the cup. Christ last time any Canadian team did I was on AOL 2.0

Did Canada have Internet in '93?

What was invented the last time the Sabres won the cup?

Toronto hasn't won a cup since the Sabres came into existence either... Both teams are just blah.....

Sounds more like Ray

HEY!!!!!!!!!!! I RESEMBLE THAT STATEMENT........

Rays are more of the whiney, crybaby, oh woe is me type of Sabres fan. I wish Ray would get his poop together and talk hockey.
- Buffalo--Sabres

Let me explain something Buffalo........ I am far from whiney or crybabyish.... I am realistic........... You see... The sabres have become a perrenially boring predictable team. Built into a mentally weak group of girly men by the chief girly man himself.... Darcy. This team needs a total remodeling...... In spite of what they played like the last few games they are still a group of weak minded players who will buckle at the first sign of adversity....... I don't talk much hockey anymore because what I see on the ice from the Sabres is anything but hockey. Just how much longer can anyone just talk about all the glaring weaknesses on this team? Oh and by the way....... 43 years and still no cup.....

trade w/ nashville and take barkov

Do you really want to read a Garth blog EVERY DAY about how Barkov is the best and most complete player in the world?
