Has that ever happened before?

The commentator yesmen have said nothing of it happening before, so I'm pretty sure it hasn't.

On another note, Riemsdyk barely looks pubescent. He's still got some serious acne

No surprise, Turris goes #3

WTF?

LA takes Thomas Hickey 4th overall. Rated by some as a 2nd rounder. Wow, they must have absolutely no faith in Alzner

Hickey at #4, ouch.

WOW. I don't know much about hockey but this is pretty funny. The kings gm sounds depressed.

Sweet, Alzner to the Caps

Please take Cherepanov, Lowe

I dont see that being mean at all. It would be doing a injustice as a GM to pass up a better talent to just draft a player because hes in your bloodline. I dont think Sutter lasts to #18 anyways, so it wont matter.

think about i you are raised to play a certain style of hockey.Your mentor happens to be involved in hockey and his brother is the gm of the best team in the nhl....... you are there when he is picking and he passes on you..... how would you feel?

thank god alzner dint go to edmonton. We took Phanuef out of Edmonton and Alzner is Calgarian.

If they take Cherapanov they will be waiting a while for him to come over.

Well I have no faith in the Kevins at this point. One good pick in 7 years of drafting.

The Oilers take... ahh **** it, of course its Gagner. There goes any faith I had in them

could Cherepanov fall to 8?

Post #34 » by **UTMCretin** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 11:57 pm

Yes he could, unless there's a GM who actually feels like taking the best player available along the way

I like Espesito but the Bruins need Defense. I just got into hockey so I dont know a ton but I have heard that Cherepanov is sick! I also have heard Espesito is good but fell off this year.

Columbus gets a gift

Gagner is a very good pick, you should be happy about it.
