What a gift to ottawa... Keep up the great work... start planning on picking top 5 again... what a terrible organization... could of traded down several spots, got assests and picks and still picked the same player......FAIL

Yeah no. He's never going to be a top line center on a cup winning team.

Too soon to tell, I think his ACL injury + young age could play in our favor.

Yeah, if you can't trade for them, draft them.

It's better than Tkachuk or one of the D so I can't say I'm overly disappointed with the pick but I would of went with Zadina

Jonathan Drouin: Top centre on the Habs. Much younger than other players too.

I think you are missing the point.

Meh, I'm ok with that pick... At 3 you can't go that wrong...

It’s not bad
But it’s another proof that there is no plan
A 50 pts center coming in 2-3 years
Wooooo

I'm just waiting for NYI to draft, and then hear Bettman say 'we have a trade to announce'

I do not believe in players whose father is their coach. They have benefited from more personnal training and have less to improve.

I think you are. Best centre in a draft super weak at centre is like being the best centre on the Habs; a default position more than a statement of quality.

Well... You can see that wingers are worth nothing on the trade market. Guess teams prefer drafting good centres instead of very good wingers...

Maybe that speaks more to what people think about Zadina, than anything.

Has a forward under a PPG in the CHL ever been selected that high?
