So can anybody tell me how Vesey won the Hobey Baker when a 19 year old smoked the entire competition in scoring and scored pretty much a goal a game? The 19 year old who had the best season by an U20 NCAA player in the past decade...

Saw on TV this morning that the Oilers would be receptive to moving their 1st pick - wonder what the price tag for that puppy would be.
- Nastradamus

Yeah, just like every team that ever owned the first pick.

I'll believe it when I see it. OEL is the only realistic trade scenario and AZ already said they wouldn't do that.

Kyle Connor?

(frank), should've answered with a movie quote

It's not fair! It's not (frank)ing fair!

I can see them using their 1st or 2nd overall to move down to 3rd and pry an asset away from another team.

You misunderstand the award.
The award sample size is too small.

I think I just rolled the perfect lottery sim:

Leafs, Jackets, Devils

To infuriate David Poile. Totally worth it.

Devlicious.

I didn't even mean to make that typo. Interesting. Normally I'd fix that before hitting submit but it works.

I'm about to try the lottery sim. This time it's for keeps.

Pfft ...obviously it's because his Dad is a scout with the Leafs and his brother was drafted by the Leafs. The league needs to investigate this poop.

Don't do that again!

Can somebody summarize the Dreger report that Stamkos won't be a Leaf.

I don't want to have to listen to his voice.

Edmonton is 1st so it seems legit

"Dave Nonis told me there is zero chance Stamkos is a Leaf. Dave hasn't even spoken to his agent once about it."

Something real bad is going to happen...

Edmonton or Montreal is going to win it. Vancouver or Ottawa will get one of the top 3.

The Leafs will pick 4th. We all know this is going to happen.

Stop being so dramatic. Leafs will pick 2nd after the oilers or habs win it.

Every single one of these scenarios are horrible. I won't mind picking 4th so much if Edm/Mtl/Van/Ott don't get 1 or 2.... but they will.

Didn't hear what he had to say, but at this point I am not even convinced the Leafs would out-bid other teams. Someone is going to over-pay. My guess is Montreal.

Exactly.

Although I really think picking 1,2 or 3 is significantly better than 4.

The sickening part is who gets the first pick.

I would be surprised if the leafs don't put out a strong offer for him. We need veteran presence alongside all these kids.

Detroit with Dats retiring. His cap hit will be traded to Arizona so that will be a non issue.
