This.
But we have to move up and TRADE VERSTEEG HOMER! He's only got 2 and a half hours, im starting to worry!

Honestly, no need to rush. See what happens with first pick. If the Oilers Take Larsson, I'd consider staying at 8 and getting Murphy or Hamilton.

"With the 8th pick in the draft, the Flyers.... wait, they have a first round pick?"

(the place blows up) and we never find out who they would have taken.

I wonder if that is the hold up? Maybe the flyers dont want to trade bob/versteeg/carle and the 8th YET, if their guy wont be there. Imagine... after RNH is gone at #1 and bettman steps up and says "There is a trade to announce!"

i've got a better choice for 8th overall pick:
"With the 8th overall pick in the 2011 NHL draft, the Philadelphia Flyers choose..."

"BRENT BENSON OF THE SASKATOON BLADES!"
Guy has a ton of grit, and scored 15 goals on the Blades 4th line last year. Perfect fill-in for Shelley!

If I am Colorado and I'm looking at trading Stastny, I wait and see if the Oilers take RNH. If they don't, There's no way I move that 2nd pick and I grab RNH.

he'll be gone before #8. Will be going top 5 probably. I can't see us pulling off a Cam Fowler this draft.

Ended up needing a skin graft.

Just throwing this out there:

From the 2000 Entry Draft through the 2006 Entry Draft, a total of 16 defensemen were selected in the top-10. Only two of those players remain with the team that drafted them.

Percentages are a lot higher with forwards and goalies.
