YES -- the Ducks drafting off the list.... loving it -- more of that please prior to 18.

Good choice in Lev - can never have enough RD - and um yeh ... he does actually look 18...
- SC116

Sennecke was gonna go before 18 anyway but still wow

Yakemchuk is my pick to click for who falls furthest in the 1st

Waddell, you gotta take the Cossack! ......... You have to believe Verbeek took a lotta calls for the 3rd

Good pick by CBJ. They'll be strong down the middle for years.

So Dedimov wasn't the BPA at 2,3 or 4.

feeling demidown yet?

Montreal is probably happy!

He'll go to Montreal. Teams picking 6-10 looking for D are ecstatic.

This like Xmas for you, Wiz?

Lindstrom and Fantilli as your 1-2 punch! Damn............. Briere has got to be going nuts with the Russian still on the board at #5. MTL gets their man????

Who called THREE forwards taken in the first 4 picks with Demidov not one of them???? Teams picking 7-8 are gonna get a kid with a reasonable shot at being 1st pairing NHL Dmen.

Yep!!

Whether we like the pick or not, the Hawks should be set on defense for the next 8-10 years. They have built their backend and have one generational talent up front. Future is bright.

Hage's mother was just on the screen, right now, telling him not to talk to Iginla....

funny!

Classy act by Montreal using Celine Dion. Hawks should have used Oprah Winfrey.

Montreal got their guy!

How comforting is the thought that the D is probably set for 10-12 yrs? Like having a top offensive line in the league to keep your QB upright and throwing TD darts.

Good for MTL. Always a good thing to see good things happen to the Canadian squads. ..... Kid will score 100 pts in the NHL. They just drafted a bigger Datsyuk at FIVE!!....... He'll make Slaf a 40 goal scorer!

That Jones trade to Utah better be announced soon.

What will KD do with #18? Move up? Down? Stay put?

- Assman22

I don’t want KD to select 2 defencemen in the first round, but I’d make an exception is Yakemchuk is available.

Draft Yakemchuk at 18!! 4 of the first 5 picks are forwards in a historic Dman draft!!!

This is not going as planned. I love this.
