Dreger reporting Edmonton going to pick.

Was it ever really up for debate? No matter what Ek or any of these media goons would have us believe, there was never a chance Edmonton was trading the pick, ever.

I'm willing to bet my next paycheque that they're isn't a snowballs chance in hell they don't pick yakupov to..

Nobody seems to know for certain, and I think they're dumb enough to take Murray

It's the Media's job to hype this poop up, how else are they going to put on a 8 hour show.

Does anyone know what the time the first pick is actually scheduled?

I heard around 4:10 - 4:15 (PST)

Ryan Rishaug @TSNRyanRishaug

Burke and Gillis just walked off the draft floor together into the tunnel by penguins room. Clearly not a quick hello, all business. #tsn

Feel like I'm throwing a piece of meat into a pack of rabid wolves.

Draft starts at5 doesn't it? I've always been glad the NHL draft isn't like the NFL's; teams typically don't take that long to send in the pick, even if they've got trades going on.

How long is Burke going to keep up wit the "We believe in James Reimer, he was 4-1 before he got injured" line?

indefinitely

The draft is slightly more entertaining than the awards show. At least at the awards show there is some humor involved.

The only thing I'll enjoy watching is every team sucking the Kings Richard before they pick.

Show starts in 7 mins and Edmonton has 15 mins to pick.

Dramatic?

A 3 hour show that seems to take 30 gm's over 2 hours to get to the podium, doesn't need much media bs to drag it out

That would have to be a new record for GM bullpoop, saying you're comfortable with your goalies then hours later making a trade for one.

3hrs to go and 1 trade

ek will pull through last second

I'm talking about the build up to the show, if everyone knew that the draft was going to go just like it was planned, no one would watch.

Leafs are a playoff team with Lou. Yes? No? Maybe so?

I've always thought so. Beyond that, who knows.

They will make it to 8th with Lou in net.

Yup and first pick about 5:20 MST.

why would the habs want yandle tho???, can't replace Subban's physicality if ppl wanna involve PK in the trade.....and i mean we already have Markov and Beaulieu coming in if we need puck moving D, and he's definetly NOT worth the 3rd overall pick this year (based on the fact they dont really need more D)

so why do the habs need yandle.....unless its jus a piece of the puzzle to move for someone else i guess.....it would probably entice the Ducks with Ryan, they definetly need D

Logic, reason, cap space, and interest by actual teams are irrelevant.

I'm not so sure. The Flyers made a trade today and he had no rumor on it, I mean that should be right in his wheelhouse.

They will make it to 8th with Lou in net.
- Oilhab

Then pull a Kings?

Philly isnt even trading Schenn for Ryan bro......keep your trash...kessel is as talented as girouxs left nut....notice id dindt say the right....that would have been toomuch.
- Philly1980
