NHL 2011-2012 Offseason thread of Cash Rules Everything Around Me

Is he really slipping, or is it just the team with the top pick really needs a defenseman?

I think any other team it's still a consensus pick no?
 
Reading this you can tell just how far gone howsons mind is:

"Haggerty says that Boston was asked to part with two from the group of Tyler Seguin, Milan Lucic and prospect Dougie Hamilton, along with other prospects and draft picks."

Columbus will take Murray(if available...), Galchenyuk, or Forsberg.

They want no part of a Russian.


Thus the Canadiens just won the day.

Could still be a trade though. Frankly, if Howson wants a team to bite on one of his ridiculous deals, the #2 pick might have to factor in somehow.

Ya know I would definitely consider putting Couture in a package if the return was Nash+2nd overall. Draft Galy with the pick and we have our #2 center back!

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Still no big trades, I want something to happen COME OOOON.

Yak HAS to go first, everyone passing on him is nuts. Trade down to get D later if you have to, but no way they're skipping yakz
 
@tsnjamesduthie: As it stands right now, CBJ doubtful Nash gets traded tonight. Feel market will heat up once Parise signs after July 1.

Remember when Columbus was going to wait till things "heat up" around the draft?

I'm guessing this will be the most watched draft since Crosby's. 4 Canadian teams in the Top 10 and Ottawa looking to join them.
 
Edmonton drafted RNH 1st overall in 2011 despite needing a defenceman (Larsson was the highest D-man drafted at #4).

I don't see them passing on Yakupov for Murray, unless Murray is top-pairing material.

Subban to Columbus for the 2nd pick. Draft Yaks and Gally. The Montreal Sting! The best defense is a good offense, amirite?!

"Buffalo GM Darcy Regier is working the Draft floor he spoke to Columbus and now Calgary he wants to make a move #NHL"

Stay the fuck away from that #2 pick Buffalo

I don't know how unusual this is, but as of right now Edmonton hasn't contacted Laranov, aka Yakupov and Galchenyuk's agent, and apparently only made a decision this morning.

Not bitter, just unsweetened
Burke and Gillis are making out in the tunnel to the dressing rooms... Some reporter is suggesting trade talk but i am more inclined to think they are making out since nothing will come of it

Bobby Mack said unless something changes last minute, nothing has come close to make the Oil consider moving the 1st.

Edmonton Oilers, at 1st overall, select Nail Yakupov.

Book it. This shit happens every year and the consensus top prospect goes 1st overall in the end.
