Yea but then he won't have a #1C just like kessel so we are right where we started? You look at the guys who are tops in the NHL and all are centers. I'd honestly rather get top 3 so we just stick with grigo/galchenyuk. Unless we get the 1st and trade down to 3 and add some assets

If this was a Malkin/OV draft maybe but this is more like a franchise winger who is head and shoulders above everybody. He broke Stammers rookie records

You always knew the key to my heart.

I'm having dreams of winning the lottery. Oh how great that would be. How many times has a team other than 30th won it do you know?
- weirdoh

Blackhawks were 5th when they won weren't they

You should! It was a lot of fun!

I hope it's of the box variety again, though. There's no way I'd have connectivity for long enough to do a draft, haha.
- Mr_Clean

oh for sure....I never do drafts for playoffs...not worth it. Playoff pools are about who can predict the best and knows what key players to choose. So box format is good because nobody EVER makes the same picks.

Upon further investigation, you are deemed correct.

The draft lottery was held on April 12, 2011, and was won by the New Jersey Devils, who moved up four spots to the fourth-overall pick. The Edmonton Oilers retained the first-overall pick. This was the first time since the 2007 draft lottery that a team other than the team with the worst regular season record won the draft lottery. New Jersey were also tied with the 1999 Chicago Blackhawks for the lowest ranked team to win the lottery as the eighth seed

Fine than u can move up 4...Makes sense as the #5 position being the last position that u can reach #1..

I didn't know that. I knew he was a franchise player though. Well we will have to wait and see what happens. Now I am happy with any russian we draft :p

when we lose the rest of our games, like ottawa - we will both be golfing early and it will be easier to pick players for the playoffs as nobody will be using their "homerism".

how anyone can cheer for spezza and alfy is beyond me.

Y'all better hope that doesn't happen, or I'll be single-handedly beating all your entire fanbase's sorry ass (slight exaggeration)... Just like last year

the 30th place team misses out on the top pick more often that not

Signs of old age:

1. Randomly yelling about things
2. Not knowing whats going on
3. Needing more than one person to explain something to you about anything to do with younger generations.

Lol I never said I would take grigo before yakupov. If we had the 1st overall I'd def take yakupov even though he doesn't fit our need. Even if we have to we can just trade him. Has more value then anyone else so return would be nice. We already have a RW (kessel) looking for a center and he's proved he can score 35+ goals just imagine what he would be like with a getzlaf playing with him

if we get that lucky and draft nail do we trade kessel?
- ky678468

LOL....Like NO...Why the (frank) would Burke do that??
