Good stuff guys, thanks a lot!

Out of these guys mentioned (or not mentioned), are there any "great" hitters?

I found this interview with Victor Hedman on NHL.com...

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=4...id=DL|NHL|Home

I like his answer on this question..

Quote:
NHL.com: No one seems to know what the Islanders are planning to do with the top pick. Pretend I'm Isles GM Garth Snow and tell me why I should take you with the first pick?

Hedman: I've been playing against men for two years now, playing over 20 minutes (per game). I think of myself as an impact player, I can play in all kinds of situations. That's the biggest reason. I bring a winning mentality to the team. I do whatever it takes to win. I really hate to lose. I do whatever it takes -- if that means I have to fight someone, I'll do it. If it's a one-goal game, I want to play. If there's 10 minutes left, I want to play all 10 minutes. Just do whatever it takes to win."

This just in - the New York Islanders have traded away their #1 overall pick for the rights to former Islanders Alexei Yashin and Oleg Kvasha.

I know its not funny to even joke like that, because its the Islanders... but I had to.

Wow I was suprised to read at NHL.com that the Pens have had a #1 or #2 pick for 4 years in a row and added some serious depth to really win the cup this year...

Fleury 03
Malkin 04
Crosby 05
Staal 06

I love the draft.

Yes, sucking for all those years definitely paid off this year.

They'll obviously be picking last this year, so is there anyone decent that will/could be left by then? The organization needs potential top-6 winger depth badly. I'm not a draft-nik by any means.

All my Vbookie $ is on the Islanders NOT drafting Tavares. When they don't, I get to bitch slap all the NYI fans. If they do, you can bitch slap Scott or JKidd mmkay?

I'm watching it right now on Versus. This might be the highest pick the Stars have had in over 10 years (#8 spot) unless they do what they always do and trade it away. They better keep it. They need a prospect because the Stars dong have too many in the minors.
