That 9th overall pick would be nice!!

Who was the last rebuild team to give up a top 10 pick?

That's what happens when you blow a 3 goal lead with 4 minutes left.

Young team.
They will learn from This and improve.

Dallas gets ANA first round pick now for Eaves.

Good point, I just think they like to compete while Zetterberg is still there.

And?

If JB chooses a college kid like that won't see them for 3+ years. Why I prefer 1st rounders not college bound on talent deficient teams looking to inject youth.

I think it is going to take 3 years anyways no matter who we take. The only ones that were ready were Nico and Nolan.

They need a top pairing D for sure. But Centers can play wing. So if Nucks actually are fortunate enough to draft two more centers better then Bo then he can play wing in top 6.

Why would you play someone so good in the faceoff dot on the wing

GO ducks, but go preds.

#9OA for Gordie.

I don't even think they're ready. I'm not sure when this fascination with injecting top picks directly into your lineup started but some pretty damn good players went back to Junior or stayed in Europe for another year after being drafted.

I see Lucic still struggles with handshakes.

Have we determined PLD is a bust?
- VANTEL

How about Cederholm?

I would.
- dbot

Dallas would be nuts to give up a first or second . THey have plenty of space they can buy out Letonein and it costs them 2.5 the first year and 1.6 the next. They have plenty of cap space

They're not ready either.

JB said there were a couple of guys ready . I imagine he meant those two.

ya, I just wanna see our prospects develop in the AHL. But we don't even see that (for various reasons)

So, 1 plus on Tree and Zhuke heading to Russia. We keep their rights, but don't use up 2 of our 50 contracts? Is that correct? Not the worst case I guess. Although rather have them here or in AHL.

How about Cederholm?

Which one ?

- NorthNuck

He tugged Paul MacLean's moustache and kick him in the shins.

I seen a very funny tweet earlier by a Canuck fanatic . Tanev and the fifth OA for OV

Which one ?
- VANTEL

Aren't they clones?
