We are going to take a kid that we could have picked at #44.

OH GOD, PLEASE SAY IT'S NOT TRUE....

We get #9 for..... #13 (there goes Tavares) #44, and 3rd round pick. DID I NOT SAY WE WOULD DO THIS?

We could have traded all of those for LA/BOS... wtf is going on.

Holy crap...yeah, they could have definitely had the King's pick for that price. They must really want someone to move 4 spots.

Logan Couture... come on!?@#!@?#(#*$U He would have been available at 13 possibly.

ANNNNND old jerseys. I at least wanted to see the new jerseys.

Is Couture worth that much? Did St Louise get the 3 picks including #13?

[DonkeyKongSr]

Not sure if he'd easily be there. Would have been close. With the conditional nature of the pick, I would have taken a shot at it though.

BTW, is St. Louis planning to draft a whole team from this year's draft? They've got a [censored] of picks, 3 in the first round.

Pierre MacGuire just said FLA was ready to take Couture.

[DonkeyKongSr]

The Russian, Cherepanov, is dropping pretty far. He had a better rookie year in the Russian league than Ovechkin, Kovy, and Malkin.

Even if he made it to #16, Burke hates Russians. I think the Ducks pick is going to barely be after all the decent guys are gone. Maybe they can find a gem.

Yeah heard that too, there's lots going behind the scenes that we don't get to hear about. Should explain some of the decisions.

[vin17]

Yeah, I think the NHL-Russian League transfer conflict is scaring a lot of these teams.

He also seems super pissed... he looks like a headache already.
