unless they let go of one of their young talent, i dont see how the Leafs fits everybody under the cap. Marner and Mathews are coming fast for payday

Kadri could be traded for a young D on an ELC until Marleau is gone

No, no... Please stay!

Lol! Fine you talked me into it.

Do you think any major trades will happen before July 1? Or do you think Tavares is holding everything up?

It's been a really good draft for the Habs so far.

I like that Cole Fonstad pick, undersized center but highly skilled

5 centers, 1 winger and 2 D

McShane is a good pick up where they got him too, seen quite a bit of him in Oshawa, was hoping they'd grab him

They screwed up big time choosing Romanov over Groulx. Other than that an ok draft.

Damn near impossible to say that with any kind of certainty at this point

Calgary and Carolina apparently working on a blockbuster

offensive D with good size and a boatload of C's with high skill for the most part. Great draft for the Habs. cmon!!!! haha

Apparently Romanov is a mobile, skilled defenseman...he wasn't ranked that high though...they surely saw something they liked

Meh.

Habs move down. Habs trading Pick 62 to Edm for 71 and 133.

Once again, MB heads in the wrong direction.

After pick 20-25... the rest are all an equal crap-shoot. The more shots you get on goal the better. If we could actually develop players like some of the better teams can then it would be a real steal.

Nope....done deal!

Carolina gets Ferland + Fox as well actually

From bobby mac on twitter:
No picks involved, it's the five players: Lindholm and Hanifin for Hamilton, Ferland and Fox. As I reported yesterday, the negotiating meeting between Lindholm's agent and the Hurricanes did not go well, paving the way for this trade

Does this mean Calgary are not after Pacioretty now?

Lindholm is more of a C, maybe this means theyre about to trade Bennett?

Our Forrest Gump can only do 1 for 1 trades.

Apparently you are unaware of what a crap-shoot is...

Nevertheless, go back and look at every draft from 1996-2015 and you will see there are more all-stars and amazing players that fell into the 6th, 7th rounds and went undrafted than there were in the 2nd-5th rounds respectively. And in total, those numbers are shockingly low.

So after the first 20 or so picks... the odds of getting a great player or future star are slim-to-none. Therefore, its a crapshoot, and the more shots you have the better.
