Can't see Cody Ceci sliding that much either, but Koekkoek is going in the top 20 without a doubt, probably the top 15. I'm really hoping that he's around when Ottawa picks at 15, if we still have that pick. The guy is a workhorse- I have a feeling he's going to be a very valuable asset in the NHL for years to come.

If Collberg falls to around where you have him Ian, I would love it if Gillis would jump up to grab him.

Really? You don't think that's a bit of a risk, seeing as how there is no timetable for Hossa to return? The guy might never play again.

Yeah, that was a nasty hit. Still think the team missed him this season, and I'd love it if they could get him back.

If he is healthy It makes sense. Same contracts and addresses both team needs.

Hossa - kesler - booth

Good skating line that can check and put up points. Only problem is they are all kinda shooters.

I think Hossa has some playmaking ability, more than Booth at least, but I think he's pretty well liked by management and in the locker room, in Chi.

Would love Torres type hitter but not Torres himself. The NHL will be watching him with a magnifying glass.Any big hit and your team will be down a player for 25 games or more.

He's got more playmaking ability then kes and booth that's for sure.

Hossa is REALLY good in his own end.

I know he's pretty well liked but it's a business and luo makes chicago serious threat again

A friend of mine played on Florida last year, he said everyone talked about how no one could play with Booth. He's a difficult player to play with. Pretty funny that AV would have 2 guys that no one can play with on the same line. 2 wrongs make a right.

ha. No. But he's friends with him. Says he wants to stay in Florida. Not likely he's coming to the Canucks.

22-Pittsburgh Penguins- Andrei Vasilevski, G, Ufa 2

With Fluery getting a little older, the Pens add a goalie with huge upside. Vasilevski could likely start in the A next year, back up the year after, and be starting by year three.


Fluery is 27 years old...

Tootoo or prust could fill the void that Torres left when he signed in PHX last season. Maybe even kassian to.

He should probably have stated "playing a little older."

Yup, as long as someone has a twitter account and a website they seem pretty legit to me.
