Lots of GMs like that he went overseas to go play.

I don’t think he’s a center in the NHL

Pick 3 is where it gets more difficult.

Anaheim takes Eklund

Calgary Should Trade 4th Pick for Samson!!!!

We get Ecklund!


Power-ful #1 pick.

Love it. Well done KA.

Now get Ecklund or Guenther.

The Cleveland Native Americans? They could have kept the logo
- Mentalorgasm5

The whole reason to change the name was to get rid of the Native American imagery. But calling them the Cleveland Americans and re-branding the logo into not a racist caricature, and hiring a Native American graphic designer to design an appropriate image would have probably been an acceptable move.

Native Americans are still 'Americans'.

As far as the Washington Football team goes, I hope they keep that as their name going forward. I love it.

That Ducks pick was beyond awful. They could have traded down and landed him like 7 picks later and gotten another prospect in exchange.

SO they didn't want to get all teams together but each team is allowed to have a massive draft party?
