Hart (forwards only):
1. Alex Ovechkin - 1st overall
2. Sidney Crosby - 1st overall
3. John Tavares - 1st overall
4. Jonathan Toews - 3rd overall
6. Patrick Kane - 1st overall
Norris:
1. P.K. Subban - 43rd overall
2. Ryan Suter - 7th overall
3. Kris Letang - 62nd overall
4. Francois Beauchemin - 75th overall
5. Zdeno Chara - 56th overall
Interesting, can't blame Colorado for wanting to go with Mackinnon seems like forwards are a safer bet @ 1st overall.

That's interesting. But it could always end up being like the 1993 draft:
1. Alexander Daigle
2. Chris Pronger
3. Chris Gratton
Been fine all evening for me. And another civ player, we'll get that big nhl-gaf civ game going sometime this summer!

Oh god what did they do to steam. Trading cards, exp, bars, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Your games are now within a game
I would love to join in on the Civ playing but I am a noob to Civ 5
Hey I've got like 90 hours in Civ V and I'm still a noob.
I made 20 bucks selling my cards during the beta. It was fun while it lasted, still pretty cool stuff to put in and add an extra meta game.
:lol
Kulemin, Gardiner, and our 1st.
Thats probably the starting point, I don't see why we should do this
Maybe the update is coming at midnight because someone is getting bought out to make room for players?
Just sell your card drops and ignore it like me.
I think he's just writing an article that'll go up midnight.
My guess. It's just talk that won't go anywhere.

Oh good god no
Don't want the next Daigle!
After the way he played in the playoffs his values at an all time low. Chiarelli is too smart to ever trade him right now to anyone :lol

Shero is a pretty great GM. Good trade resume. Got a nice return for Staal. Letang is WAY better than Staal.
Then they're losing Letang.

Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe was on Prime Time Sports Monday evening and said he is wondering when Seguin will start to play like a first round pick
I brought that up at the Stanley Cup party I went to and no one backed me up that this trade has worked out in the Leafs favour due to Kessel's point production

Kessel has developed his game more than Seguin has. The fact that Kessel is faster, better shot and is now a two-way player makes this trade work out for the Leafs. Ron Wilson's Kessel would have made the Bruins win this trade. But RC's Kessel makes it the opposite.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
It's a common topic of conversation around here, especially when seeing him across the ice from Kane (71 pts in 74 playoff games), and after Kessel's (albeit slow) maturation and performance in the first round (21 points in 22 playoff games). Seguin has 18 points in 42 playoff games.
Kessel and Kane both have several more NHL seasons under their belt, but Seguin is gonna need to bring it over the next couple of years, especially in the playoffs. Then we'll really be able to judge his development.

And Seguin looks like a douche
Kessel looks like the staypuft marshmallow man, who doesn't like the mallow man

Seguin is 21, Hamilton 20. This is all about the long con.
I hate the Kessel/Seguin discussions with people.
It was all Kessel sucks, Seguin gonna be in the hall of fame. After this season its now "well Seguin is still young"
Seguin is gonna be great in the future but be real and admit Kessel has stepped his shit up since he came here.

People on HFBoards ripping Rossi apart.

Kessel has been great for the Leafs, but at the end of the day people will only see that Seguin has a ring (even if he hitched a ride to get there) and Kessel and the Leafs have only made the playoffs once.
Also last 4 years hes scored 30 goals or more (over 82 games he was projected to do it this season too)
And 2 seasons @ ppg pace.
Now that hes developed more two-way game its hard to be disappointed with Kessel.

Said it before and I'll say it again, you do NOT pick a D man with that high of a pick unless you KNOW he's going to be great.
You should've also listed the busts for D for the first 5 vs the stars for the first 5
Busts
Hedman - 2nd overall
Schenn - 5th overall (come at me, Leaf bros!
)Hickey - 4th overall
Alzner - 5th overall
Johnson - 1st overall
Johnson - 3rd overall
Barker - 3rd overall
Bouwmeester - 3rd overall
Klesla - 4th overall
Zyuzin - 2nd overall
Philips (this really depends on how much stock you put at a stay at home defenseman in a really weak draft) - 1st overall
Berard - 1st overall (in this case though, we never know what would've happened had Hossa not injured his eye)
Redden - 2nd overall (he did have a good few years, but I'd say he didn't produce as much for what he was given)
Berg - 3rd overall
Tverdovsky - 2nd overall
Only a handful of those players are still in the league on a regular basis and even fewer have much, if any, impact.
Doughty, Jovanovski, Pietrangelo, Pronger are the only real gems I could find going back to 1993. That's 20 years...
God I hope this doesn't hold true for Cap'n Morgan :'(
edit: if you also take a look at the top 10 scoring defensemen in the league this year, only Suter, Phaneuf, Green, and Kronwall are the only ones even chosen in the first round.

It's ok, Burke would've picked Rielly 1st overall if he could.

Also not that each of these guys really didn't come into their own until at least 4 years. (Piet and Doughty being the quickest). That's why I don't like the pick. If it were a vacuum and we had nothing else Jones would be worth betting on, but the Cats pool has enough promising D-men that we're set for future pairings.
Sucks that this draft went to addressing the Cats and Avs needs, where each of the top teams is happy, to just padding an area where we are set.
I believe this guy was saying Parise was a lock to be a Pen and might have said the same for Suter.
