Elite Prospects has Ehlers listed as 6'0" http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=66581 Interesting to see the final combine stats for each player in the top 10. For once i'm actually excited to watch all the coverage leading up to the draft since it will be relevant for us this time around.

Kassian says hi!

That flow alone is worth the 6th overall pick

Can someone punch this David McGinnis fellow in the face? That was THE dumbest interview i've ever witnessed

He only plays with Drouin on special teams.

Finally a proper highlight package of Ehlers:

That's some good company to be with. And in his first season playing NA hockey!

Same here but only just slightly. If both drop from the top 5, i'd still be happy with either guy.

He's just a troll. The ignore list is a glorious thing

fun fact: Ehlers played with Patrick Kane during the lockout with EHC Biel before being drafted 6th overall into the Q. Kane is also Ehlers favourite player Will he be drafted 6th overall again? Let's hope so!

Not sure if anyone posted it, but ISS Hockey just released it's top 30 for April: http://www.isshockey.com/iss-top-30-released-april/ They have Draisaitl falling to our spot in 6th pick. So take from it what you will. I would absolutely kill for a player like Draisaitl to be available at the 6th pick.

Likely, but one can dream

If we keep loosing and teams around us keep getting at least some points we will have have a very good shot at getting Dal Colle or Draisatl. Also Button has Virtanen in the second round close to where we would pick. If we could somehow pick up Dal Colle or Draisatl with our 1st and Virtanen with our 2nd, that would be a dream draft for us!

How about we just sit back and see what actually happens over the next 24. What you are saying is just speculation.

Holy crap! About time. Good for Luo he deserves better.

Fairly sure he said Philly hasn't made an offer yet, not Pit

I like schenn just a bit more. Better offensively. Saying that i'd be thrilled with either coming our way in a package deal

That deal I can live with if we can add Bennett. Here's hoping that something actually happens by Wednesday.

lol

PIT would never do that.

Make it Sutter, 1st, 3rd, and Pouliot (instead of despres or dumoulin) and i'd do it.

I want to see him, santo and hansen on a line. Speed line 2.0

O'Reilly or bust. He makes perfect sense for us right now and like you said, we have tons of options with him as an RFA
