Unlike some of you, I don't like the pick. Big guy who doesn't play big. (Wishart #2)

Mixed reaction at the draft party. Don't love it personally. Isles need more top end players on offense. They cant sign anyone so trades will b our only hope. Visnovsky for a 2nd rounder next year is a solid deal. Will reinhart b able to step right in?

Time for another deal, Garth.

He's 36 going on 37. Thought he was a bit younger.

Worst case scenario we have an offensive defenseman to move at the deadline to get that pick back.

Still think a team is going to look smart for taking Grigorenko. With Murray gone, I think it should have been him. Not that I'm any sort of expert, just getting my thoughts on the record so I can be proven right or wrong later. BUT...at least if they didn't take Grigorenko, they took a player who simply looks big. Not a tall, lanky kid that needs to fill out, but a big player.

Lubomir Visnovsky?

Is this guy any good. Over 5 million dollars a yr.

Kinda small.

Was this a good acquisition?

It was a steal for the Isles!!!

Dumba is not as good as Reinhart.
- jimmc7722

And is also a major risk. He may crush kids in Jr's, but good luck throwing hits like that against guys Lucic's size when you're 5'11''

wanted reinhart from day 1...(although back then wanted them to move down, not sure that was an option anymore)...im VERY happy with a 6'4 beast!!! looking forward to seeing him play....

....anyone notice how little attention the isles draft pick got? went straight from the pick to the leafs....bastards!!!

That seems to be the consensus from around the different boards

Lindholm??

Why didn't they trade down?

Not the 1st time that has happened. One yr during the 2nd rd. They went to an interview while we picked. It was 10 mins before we knew who picked.

My TV must be on a little bit of a delay, because I get all the picks via Twitter before I see them announced on TV

Betcha Minny takes Teravainen. They love their Fins.

Wow congrats guys ...Isles are looking like a team ready to take the next step

He looked like he wanted kick someone A$$ while walking to the podium.

I was wondering how you knew Grigo or Forsberg were a no go.

Yeah, I felt better about the pick after watching him stalk up there

WOWWWWWWW

When is this cant miss. Great power forward Fosberg gonna get picked?

WOW STaal to Canes

HOLY poop! Jordan Staal to carolina. God I love the draft.

Well we got our Big Boy!! like the pick I know a bunch of you loved him. the trade is a decent trade... it was one of the "cap trades" we knew they would make. His cap hit is over 2 mill more than he is getting paid. He is a good player though..
