The exact trade was to trade the 30th and 36th pick for the 21st pick, then follow it up by taking a guy ranked 37th by ISS

I know there were a lot of players that landed earlier than expected. I think there will be a few players who will land later during the 2nd round.

I aim to please

BTW, if you thought I was breaking down, you should have seen some of the posters at HF. Just a long stream of bewildered expletives after the Plante pick

Could someone help me out on how long a team has control of a prospect, like if they go back to school and how all that works? Thanks.

I believe they have two years to get them under contract, but I'm not entirely sure about that

Mikheal Backlund for the Flames. He was ranked the 15th best prospect by TSN and his knee injury cost him some spots but he says last year he was injured and now he is 100%. Good pick.

PS: Anyone hear him say Crosby in his interview? nuh cuz be sound it out like that lol.
