That's one guy out of how many? There is no 100% guarantee, but I'd bet that Yakupov is more of a Steven Stamkos than an Alexandre Daigle.

Yakupov = Pavel Brendl


It's been a while since we've had a 1st overall bust.


This is the year.

Yakupov is pretty small compared to the other guys. I would venture a guess that says he has trouble staying healthy at the NHL level.

I think the lottery did Columbus a favor by Edmonton winning. Now Columbus can take Grigorenko and fulfill their own team needs better than just taking the guy everyone is saying should be #1

I agree.

Honestly Edmonton would be wise to trade the pick IMO.


They need help on the back end badly.


Nail doesn't help that.

what's the point of all these amazing forwards when you can't stop the bleeding on the back end? I think Dubnyk is going to be a decent goalie, but he needs some support back there. That D is a mess.

Jesse Niinimaki
Marc-Antoine Pouliot
Rob Schremp
Andrew Cogliano
Alex Plante

1984-01 wasn't any better for them honestly.


They hit on 4 of 22.


Ryan Smyth
Martin Rucinsky
Jason Arnott
Ales Hemsky


So from 84-08 they drafted 7 good or better NHL'ers in the 1st round.


And I thought we drafted like poop.

some philly fan as the same avatar as you, it's really confusing.
