Win the Cup and then pick 9th or 10th, gonna be a good spring!

I think the deal will be good for both teams. I am just laughing.

Also goodluck with that last part.

Close to the reverse of the Bruins. Draft Seguin at #2, win the cup.

For the Canucks though it will be lose to the Penguins, draft Reinhart.

Faksa is a Landeskog clone, I'm more hoping we land him. Galchenyuk would be nice too. I'm just not sure I totally get the Forsberg hype.

Apparently Faksa's favorite team is Edmonton and he wants to be drafted by them, any idea how far up he is in the draft rankings?

Edit: poop deal, he's supposed to go around 10th, about the same as Reinhart. I wonder if there's a way to turn the 2nd overall into Reinhart and Faksa...

Calgary will take him then

The 29th team making fun of the 30th team seems a bit silly doesnt it. I mean I know the Oil arent that far off. They only need an entire NHL level Dcore and a Goalie but damn those forwards are nuts

Schultz, Whitney, Smid, Petry?

May not be the best Top 4 but you make it sound like there is no one.

Sutton and Potter are serviceable 5-7 guys. Pecks needs more games like last night and he joins them.

Be nice to Leafs fans. Now that they're out of the playoff mix, life is very sad there now.

Strangely enough, since we've been withing spitting distance of a top 3 pick WE ACTUALLY OWN, life hasn't been too bad as a Leaf fan.

The latest NHL poll asks which player the voters think would have the most immediate impact in the NHL and 55% voter Yakupov. What is it that makes him special over others?

Columbus might take him if he's #1 in the final ranking, despite him being lost for the regular season.

Apparently this kid could be the highest drafted Muslim in NHL history.

you do realise the regular season they are talking about is 2-3 games and they think he'll be ready for the play-offs.

Lolol...there's always a silverlining..

Could have worded that better... What I mean is that I have seen him repeatedly pick up the puck and skate Damn hard to... uh... Circle around the perimeter. It's just a thing where there are little inefficiencies in his game that can be tightened up to make him an all around better player. It comes with being so young. He'll get it.
- BINGO!

Don't you have some Saskatoon NHL signs to be making?

Dude, we are more used to that reality, AND the constant BS from other fans, than any other group here

Forsberg has less points than Magnus Paarvari did at the same age in Sweden. I wouldn't bet on him being the answer the Oilers need.
- MrSmitty

THANK YOU. I am so sick of this forsberg hype, not that great. the solution is draft murray or trade down for a galchenyuk/faska.

Calgary will take him then
- numbear

LMFAO....

If I had to predict the draft top 10 (do all these teams still have their 1st round picks?) assuming no one makes deals...

#1 Columbus - Yakupov
#2 Edmonton - Ummm...Grigorenko, I guess. Makes me nervous.
#3 Montreal - Galchenyuk
#4 Islanders - Ryan Murray
#5 Carolina - Filip Forsberg
#6 Minnesota - Jacob Trouba
#7 Toronto - Radek Faksa
#8 Anaheim - Matt Dumba
#9 Tampa Bay - Morgan Rielly
#10 Winnipeg - Griffin Reinhart

Hey Richard who won the draft contest?

Lolol...there's always a silverlining..

And around every silver lining is a dark cloud

His career is clearly over.

2013 First Rounder + Omark + a prospect may get us another top 10 pick

Oh its going to get rocky for the leafs too... Burkie's master plan has fallen to pieces and now he has to build through the draft which he said he is opposed to doing... Add that to the fact that Lupul likely is a one and done for any chance of him repeating this years performance is a very loooooooooooong shot... You may get a chance to win the lotto but that is a long shot... funny how things have done a complete 360 with the laughs... only 7pts separate the oil from the laughs... and yet you were so elite a few months ago...
I do realize it may not be you that was cocky earlier but this goes for all leaf fans and potential trolls to read..

"I think we all agree [Hall]'s the best skater in the NHL?"

Michael Grabner and Tyler Seguin have something to say about that.

Pretty sure Hall has better wheels than Seguin...

So how about that to get a bonus 1st this year.

Then our 2nd this year and next year plus a prospect for another 1st this year.

Then we get Murray, Reinhart and Faska...

If we got those 3 this year I think Tambo would win GM of the year... dependent on what he gave up...

Grabner maybe, Seguin no. Patrick Kane anyone?

Potter nominated for the Masterson trophy.
