What? Can you please explain that. If Miller signs before we are back in the first round again and don't have to trade anything other than one second and one third. That's better than trading at minimum two seconds to get back up there.

There's a decent chance we end up with the Wild pick so we don't want them making it to the Conference finals.

So who are we all going with in these Game 7's. I'm feeling Rangers, Wild and Kings.

4 would have been better but ya I'll certainly sign up for 3 seconds.

Didn't realize we may have 4 seconds! Last year we had 3 and it felt like we were constantly picking in the 2nd round.

1. Toronto 2. Toronto 3. Toronto 4. Boston

Does anybody really care about day 3?

The bolded may be the understatment of the year. Going from 22 points to 75 would be unreal. I think Myers and Hodgson have shots at achieving those numbers. Ennis and Stafford seem a bit high but I guess they could hit those as well. I want a top 5 pick in next years draft (obviously hoping for 1) but I do hope our young guys progress. I just can't see them progressing this quickly over one season. If you projected Girgensons and Z's stats 3 years from now then I would be happy and feel it is achievable.

And Boom goes the dynamite!

Exactly. Why would they trade millers rights for a second when by doing that they would have to give the sabres their first?

Blues are obviously a good team but if they don't resign miller and go with their rookie could that give us an outside shot at the blues struggling a bit and a slim chance they even miss the playoffs?

I would think it would have to be higher than that? Maybe 21?

There's always a chance he could be taken before dal colle but if he does I think it had little to do with what he does in that tourney. This draft is loaded with chl players that are not participating in that tourney. Dal colles 20 points in 12 ohl playoff games mean much more than what nylander does in the iihf under 18 IMO.

I'm not confident they will take Ekblad but with both Sams being rated close to evenly, we can just take the other. I'd prefer Reinhart but I think Benett will end up being a very good player.

Agreed. Never too early to start looking at some mocks.

Ya that's what I remember. That's a huge fall from 6 down to the first pick in the second round! McKeown falling half a round in a draft that is far from deep on the back end is also surprising to me.

What in the hell happened to Anton Karlsson and Roland McKeowan?? Weren't they names being thrown around early in the year for top 5 picks?

Yep, untimely poor goaltending led to the downfall. The Gens even started their backup in the last elimination game. Dal Colle actually looked better in this series of them getting swept then the previous series in which they swept the Petes.

No.

Dal Colle bounced from the playoffs. He ends with 8-12-20 in 12 games. Ya, I'd certainly take him at 5 overall.

That was only a matter of time.

Hhahahaha, that's great. But let's also keep in mind that you have to be a f*cking m-o-r-o-n to write that way on a final exam versus a message board. I generally type every letter out if I'm at a desktop computer but if I'm typing on my iphone then I'm shortening it up when I can. 'Ppl' are sometimes giving their two cents in on a subject as they're walking out the door or doing something else. I have no problem with it.

It's never to early to start keeping an eye on him. They did pull off a big win 5-2 last night and he picked up a couple of assists. Man I wish he was in this draft.... Actually I don't wish that because if he were then we would be missing out on him picking second....

To be completely honest I've focused in on this drafts OHL top prospects. My wife would kill me if I stay up to speed in every series haha. Although looking just at his stats he is well over a point a game with 4-15-19 in 13 games.

Generals go down 3-0 in the series but Dal Colle has a nice night scoring twice and easily could have had another one or two. The Gens had their backs against the wall and although the goaltending let them down, Dal Colle rose to the occassion and was the best player on either team last night.
