Public Draft: Let's All Laugh at Phil Kessel Together

PrintSeriously though, the poor guy can't go last two years in a row, can he?
I've never met a fake event with more hype that nobody cares about surrounding it in recent memory. Will Chara draft a Canuck? Will Thomas snub the Canadian PM (they're in Ottawa, after all)? Will the Senators get their due and go last collectively?
Anyway, the draft starts at 8. NBCSN has a pre-show at 7:30. You can watch them both or not watch anything at all, but you should definitely join in the conversation.

Anyone else hoping Z takes both Sedins to make them play with him and Claude?
And that the former teammates discussed the Kessel pick ahead of time…

Nice little quote from Mooney over at PD
Bergeron is one of the league’s best players at both ends of the ice, and his plus-27 rating, bested only by teammate Tyler Seguin, is evidence of that. He’s so unrecognized it’s criminal. Heck, if it were actually criminal, he’d never get caught because no one ever seems to notice him.

Unlike hockey, your first 3 picks should all have an impact on your team at some level.
Add in that many people are huge fans of college football and it means they know the players far better.

just to easily work the money moving around in three team deals, just think it would be fun for larger trades
Ah. Though three-team trades never happen in the NHL. I can think of maybe one (the initial Boyes trade) and that went in the books as two 2-team trades. (If I recall, McClaren to SJ for Jillson, Jillson to Buffalo for Boyes)
