The Habs really do hold the key to the Top 10 of this draft. Nobody knows that the hell they are going to do. I am betting on something stupid, but besides that I have no idea.

If I had to bet on picks numbers 26 and 28, my bet would be on Dellandrea and Merkley. Dellandrea because he is a Rangers type pick, and Merkley because they are swinging for the fences with the third first rounder.

No on Merkely.

If I were you, I’d hope the Habs take Tkachuk.

Oh, I do.

No on Merkely.
- tomburton99

Not saying I want him. I am saying that is what I can see happening.

I like him too. Sounds like a Zucc type guy
- Slimtj100

that's probably pushing it...
...but he's a goalscorer!
imo the 2nd best player in the TV-Pucken tourney 2 years ago

At 9? Me too.

In the end, I don't think anyone will be unhappy if they take one of the 10 guys that are universally thought of to be the Top 10 at 9. If they don't, this place is going to blow.

Yeah, but getting Tkachuk off the board early lets you guys relax a bit since one of Wahlstrom, Bouchard or Boqvist will pretty much be guaranteed to be there at 9.

If they go off the board here at 9, I'm going to be very upset.

One of those guys will probably be there anyway, or Tkachuk himself.

we should offer the Devils their own second rounder back plus the 28th to move up to 17th

What about nam and 26 though?

Jet Woo it is!

I hope not with how everyone is talking about him.

Bust though, bigly.

Seriously, it seems like a clear Top 10 and then a drop-off. Just draft one of those guys for Christ's sake.

I'll kill ya

Any of you homos touch my stuff, I'll kill ya.
If I catch you lookin' at me, I'll kill ya.

Depends. If it's somebody like Veleno i'm gonna be annoyed. If it's somebody Ryan Merkley I might just step in front ofan NJ transit train.

I know what to hope for now.

Exactly. As long as they don't outsmart themselves, we are getting a top notch player.

I know what to hope for now.
- JRR1285

Bode Wilde at 9 and I think Tom might do it.

I hope not with how everyone is talking about him.
- JRR1285

The pendulum has swung way to far the other way on Tkachuk. He's still a damn good player.
