Marc Staal drafted 14th overall?

Damn he dominated the Juniors in the OHL

[shiznak]

Draft Couture he's skilled, big, and can play the wing/center.

He plays a similar style to Marleau.

http://www.mynhldraft.com/2007 predicts that we pick Dana Tyrell.

Who exactly is he? I looked at the final ISS rankings and he isn't even ranked as a first round pick.

Edit: Oooh. I checked out his stats and they aren't bad. He's 5'11 - 180 pounds, he's from Alberta, he's a center, he's a lefty, and he plays for the PG Cougars.

@ TO getting Hamill. Meh, they will most likely ruin him anyway if they get him

Yup.

Have a look at Calgary, Minnesota and Edmonton’s third round pick. Brandon Sutter with Calgary, Colton Gillies with Minnesota, and Joakim Anderson with Edmonton. That would totally suck. Three NW teams getting big, talented centers.

[shiznak]

That mock draft was done a month ago.

Not even ranked as a 1st rounder? Yuck. We already have this same f*cking guy and he's average at best.

I don't know about you but personally if our first rounder this year becomes a player like Mo I would be very happy. Think about how many players drafted at or below #25 that turned out to be solid first or second liners... now think about how many didn't even make the NHL.

Personally, I hate Morrison's lack of size. It makes him a very one dimensional player that disappears without speed. He's weak, doesn't shield the puck well on cycles and often breaks dangerous cycles by losing a puck battle due to his lack of strength. Mo was drafted @ #39, not #25, and there is a reason a Hobey Baker winner drops to #39. Mo is a good 2nd round pick, and a decent 2nd line centre, but he'd be a bad 1st rounder.

I can't say this enough, we need more SIZE down the middle. Look at San Jose (imagine if they had some defence) and Anaheim. Those are the teams we need to emulate as much as Buffalo. The reason Buffalo is down 3-1 is because Ottawa can contain their speed by forcing them to the outside. I'd love to see Ottawa try that against Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. Anaheim and San Jose both have forwards with the speed of Buffalo's but the difference is they're all 6'2"+ 210lb+. You can't easily divert their center of gravity.

Well if I got 93 million tax free I would play in Russia as well. Wow, didn't know Koltsov could command so much.

Are you sure he gets 93 million tax free...That part sounds a little bit ifee. I can definately understand him going for 1.7 million, but 93 million tax free?

[timw33]

Well Koltsov is of no use to us now.

[Toxic]

That mock draft is horrible, Eller isn't even a 1st rounder, or MacMillan, or even Veilleux i think

Koltsov news is diapointing, but i like Krajicek, and he prolly woulda been the roster player moved for Kiril

Also, this stops a SERIOUS clog at D for us, which could have potentially stunted the growth of some d-men

As for the Moose, Maxime Fortunus was a beast this year, i can see him being a depth d-man in the future, kind of like a Fitzpatrick

Yeah that mock was a month old.

Eller would be a mid to late 1st now.

Please god, leave us Eller.

obviously not

He would be like the highest paid athlete in the world minus sponsors/endorsements.

I didn't know Charles Wang owned teams in the Russian league.
