ek tweeting malkin to toronto is a possibility. "SERIOUSLY from a SOURCE."
- hammarby31


other sources are talking about it too. makes sense, from what i gather malkin is much maligned in pitt.

I'm telling you that I think Nodl is going to be a solid NHL Winger with 20 goal potential at the high end, and is a much better player than Wellwood.
- MJL


Agreed. Wellwood offensive upside is very miniscule. Nodl has good offensive skill, just slow developing it.

As a Stars fans, I'm not really thrilled with this pick.
- mochoson


I don't like the pick, either. Pierre's hype aside, I think he ends up being a borderline NHL player.

Yea, Capgeek. Look at what the players who were drafted in that spot got last year. Although some of them still haven't signed.

Cant play in the A. He'll go back to Drummondville, score his 100 points, and play in the WJC again.

You have to be 20 years old for the AHL, correct?

Any chance that Sather trades the pick to the Flyers for Shelley?

haha me too. They have to have a plan to get something else. Unless they expect Giroux and JVR to take the world over next year.

Yes, as long as the player is affiliated with a Canadian major junior team. The rule doesn't apply to Euro picks or NCAA guys who turn pro early.

Nodl's already proven he belongs in the NHL in some capacity.

Wellwood's a minor leaguer.

It remains to be seen. It could end up paying off HUGE.

I just dont think he was BPA. He's a 25-30 range guy in this draft imo. Upside his huge. But he's at least 3 years away and has a ton of question marks.

I agree they need another top offensive player to compete next year goal wise.
