NHL Draft Coverage 2009

While I was hoping to go into some detail with previews this year, having no cable service has put a bit of a damper on that.

So here’s a round-up of some draft coverage:

A couple of quick notes:
– The Islanders did draft John Tavares first overall, despite what seemed like a massive Canadian media conspiracy to persuade Garth Snow and the team not to.
– Chris Pronger was traded from the Ducks to the Flyers for Joffrey Lupul, Luca Sbisa and two first rounders. Has there ever been a player so highly-regarded who’s played for so many teams?

If it’s possible for me to update again, I will. If you’re following the draft online somewhere not mentioned, feel free to leave a link in the comments.

Update 845pm: Ryan Dingle was included in the Pronger trade, going from the Ducks to the Flyers.
