Official 2008 NHL Entry Draft Thread

[TheGriceBoys]

I am ready.

Kings pick at # 2 overall in about 8 to 8 and a half hours!

C'mon Dean, get the great d-man at 2 and then make a sweet trade NOT involving Kopitar, JMFJ or JB.:laugh:

 

[GrimUSMC]

HAHAHAHA, I just checked the on screen Guide description for the draft tonight, on Comcast, and it says "The annual player secletion............ The Chicago Blackhawks have the first pick this year after winning the draft lottery." Thats a little behind, and pretty funny.

Here's hoping the long-suffering Leafs draft an actual NHL prospect.....
Just where are Luca Cerada and Jeff Ware now?

 

[es_19]

damn cammalleri just got traded to calgary

 

[big pressure]

And reports indicate Tanguay to Montreal for their first round pick.

 

[MMarch]

Dumb move by LA, Cammy is a pure goal scorer. I bet Iginla is chugging a cold one and loving every minute of that deal.

Oh man, I LOVE this deal!!! Sutter definitely wins with that one. Cammy is going to rock for the Flames!

 

[es_19]

now they've traded olli jokinen to phoenix for 2 dmen and a draft pick...hmm

 

[nauticalcounsel]

gonna be a big night
Eugene Melnik just said the Sens are gonna shake up their roster

 

[stab107]

I don't get that move AT ALL. Surely they could have got a lot more for Olli. Insane, Florida will suck once again.

How can Lombardi explain giving away Cammilari for a middle pick in the first round? :|

Because Cammy gets push around like a little girl. Cammy thinks he derserves more money than he is worth. AND THE KINGS NEED DEFENSE.

Cliff Fletcher pulls off a nice one to gain the 5th. pick and brings Luke Schenn to Toronto. As a Leafs fan you gotta like this, kid looks like a stud D-man . Nice start to the rebuilding program.

I actually like the Thrashers taking Bogosian 3rd. However, dandy Don will trade him in a year because he hasn't turned into Leetch, Blake or that guy named Orr. They couldn't wait on Coburn's game to improve, they won't with this kid either.

Nice pickup by Montreal with Tanguay.

[leafsin09]

yes schenn was a good move, maybe they will try and move one of the high priced d-men this year

 

[SHedberg]

So happy we got Del Zotto... I never thought we had a shot at him.

WOOOO!

 

[GrimUSMC]

god i love Paul Holmgren. an overpriced RJ umberger for a young D prospect who has puck moving abilities, yeah I'll do that any day of the week. I liked RJ, but he wanted to be paid for his one great series against montreal, and I'm glad Holmgren wouldnt give it to him.

Flyers just got Steve Eminger from Washington. Not bad. They better get a goalie in this draft

Luke Schenn is Bryan McCabe minus the offensive talent.
