I always enjoy watching the draft. Reading my hockey news with each players bio. Watching for trades. Should be fun.

 

[TanguayFan]

If Habs pass on Zadina, I am going to snap.

Get ready to snap! Lots of reports saying they are leaning to trading this pick down to get D man and Center. Or will just take Tckachuk or Finnish Center.

 

[sprague11]

I'm waiting to see how Bergevin messes this up. My guess he goes for the Finnish Center whose name I keep forgetting. If it leads to ownership finally canning his worthless behind by the time I hit 40 I'm all for it. He's approaching Rejean Houle levels of incompetence.

I have a 10 cent bet that either the Wings or the Isles trade both their 1st round picks to move up.

 

[weasel-king]

Svechnikov seems like a lock on #2 for the Canes here where I am. I expect him to likely be on-ice at the season opener. Could be exciting!

 

[geschrocks33]

I'm interested to see what happens at #3. A lot of rumors swirling if the Canadiens might trade it, and if they don't, who's the pick? Seems it used be a concensus of Zadina, but now seems a little certain.

 

[sprague11]

Knowing Bergy, we'd get Tyler Johnson for that pick. He seems to be bent on helping teams in the south.

 

[langway05]

:caps: Trade Grubauer & Orpik to Colorado for a 2nd Round pick.

 

[sprague11]

Very good move for Washington. I'd expect to hear a Carlson announcement soon.

Wondering if the Avs have a taker for Varlamov

 

[creasecollector]

Excited for the this Draft! Sabres fans, get ready for another Swedish player!

 

[newfiecomicguy1]

I think habs will pick Brady Tckachuk. They need a centre but they keep getting guys with grit and sand paper. Just traded for Domi who plays a bit that way as well. If they do it’s not a bad pick but not what they need.

 

[creasecollector]

Congrats, Sabres fans!

 

[Leafsfan1967]

Zadina goes 6th. I though the Habs would take him at #3.

 

[creasecollector]

A lot of surprises tonight for sure.

 

[newfiecomicguy1]

The picks are all over the place. Teams seem to be actually picking what their teams need instead of the next top ranked player on the list. Habs was a surprise.

 

[Bossy22]

Veleno dropping to 30 blew my mind!!! Great pick by a Detroit!!!

 

[tiger tiger]

IMO, Detroit won the 1st round. Zadina and Veleno!

Two early 2nd round picks too!

 

[nybravest]

IMO, Detroit won the 1st round. Zadina and Veleno!

Two early 2nd round picks too!

Pains me to say this but I think the islanders won the first round. Zadina is a home run but Veleno won’t translate to a top 6 center.

 

[Cardboardkid]

IMO, Detroit won the 1st round. Zadina and Veleno!

Two early 2nd round picks too!

IMO, I have to agree!
