I should bet 1k at even money that the Leafs draft Reinhart so I can do some emotional hedging.

lots of rumours floating around, apparently the Coyotes are close on a deal to move Yandle. Bouwmeester might get dealt. who knows about this Staal to Carolina thing. Nash & Luongo obviously. TIMMAY waiving his no-trade which allows something to happen there. maybe the Preds could deal Suter's negotiation rights. both Edmonton & Columbus maybe looking to trade down, Toronto maybe looking to move up. guys like Hjalmarsson & Dog Murray could be available. van Riemsdyk possibly in play.

i'll be pretty choked if nothing interesting happens, lol

I can't wait for every single team that takes the stage to thank the beautiful city of Pittsburgh for hosting them, thank their fans watching at home, congratulate the Los Angeles Kings for winning the Stanley Cup, etc.

MAKE YOUR ****ING PICK ALREADY

i fully endorse that post

yeah there's a few teams who don't bother with all that, think Burke might be one of them, can't remember. but yeah more GM's need to just walk up, make the pick, and leave. nobody cares about you thanking whoever, nobody cares about your draft party, nobody cares about your scouts, get on with it [censored]!

Tambo just said "we don't have to have someone play for us" when asked about the pick impacting the Oilers next year.

Ryan Murray #1 lock it up. Yakupov gonna take Columbus to the promised land.

Thomas' agent said waiving the NMC wasn't for a trade, it was for salary relief.

When was the last year the 1st overall pick was a surprise? Was it the Patrick Kane year? I have no idea if that was a surprise, I just see that he wasn't the highest rated player that year.

Don't be an idiot Tambo. Do the opposite of whatever your instincts are telling you.

source who would know says Oilers are taking yakupov, 100 percent all the way. Did owner Daryl Katz have some say in this?.
