Grig and Forsburg still there... I like Isles pick.. think Dumba and Trouba great picks too. Pittsburgh a bit of a reach in my opinion... kid is small and a wuss.

I would love to see Garth move up and grab one of the elites left.. Ceci, Grig, Forsberg...etc.

Hope the Rags dont grab any of them

As far as Visnov... He is better than our Local boy in toronto.. and I still think we make another big trade either... forward.. top pairing d-man.. or move up.

Garth giving away second round next year tells me if he has to give away next year's first he will do that too.

Hope the Rags dont grab any of them

possible... but not likely.. they are looking for Nash package.

These guys I know. Gritty. Good size. Both are suppose to be like their dads. Especially Henrik Nasty

Ville Pokka. I read about him but I just cant remember his profile

I like Samuelsson if he's still on the board. Daniil Zharkov could be a huge sleeper.

There are gonna be some really good prospects left for us in the 2nd rd. Some 1st rd projected kids are gonna fall to the 2nd rd.

Hope the Rags dont grab any of them
- mighty13duck

Could you imagine Gringo falling all the way to the Rags

Lubomir Visnovsky?

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

Kinda small.

Was this a good acquisition?

Yes

Yes

We could use a wiener like him.

Isles have set a president. There are fat kids everywhere tonight!!!!!!!!!

Even some with Red Afro's

Any of them have Tattoo's from Tattoo Lou's???

Thats what I've been hearing. I wonder why I have never heard of him? I do watch NHL hockey.

Surprised Faksa is still around. I really hope Snow is trying to get back into the first. Still a lot of talent that hasn't been taken yet.

I dont know.
I'm afraid to check. I'd probably be arrested.

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.
- Mancalledsting

no we dont, more would be nice, but they arent "needed" like D

Reinhart

Good moves by Snow, defense just got a lot stronger. Streit and Visnovski are a solid one two pairing. I would still like to see Garth maybe grab another defenseman via free agency - someone to play with MacDonald.

I know teams usually don't trade within the division but Snow couldn't have made a more attractive offer for Staal??

"Thank you, Pittsburgh, we're touched."

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!!!

He has been saying this for weeks... nice call

Wouldn't have re-signed..he would've been an expensive rental for a year. He wanted to play with his brother.

Faska, Gaunce, Wilson (I'd love to have this wrecking machine) Grigo, Forsberg, Subban, Frk, Thrower, all still available

I think Staal forced Pitts hand to play with his Brother.

If he came here. Its one yr and bye bye. IMO

"Thank you, Pittsburgh, we're touched."

That really was a great response by the Capitals guy.

How did you type so damn fast?

Cant wait to see the Cane vs Isle this yr in Raleigh. I doubt I'll be getting Ice level seats for $15 this yr.

Visnovsky was a good trade. Upgrade on D definitely.
