The #15 and #30 picks are up for highest bidder. Its usually a matter of swapping picks more than just moving up in the draft since there's no real interpretation of what is fair value for a pick

I don't think Cherry's getting past Colorado here, but I've been (consistently) wrong before

Well, the guy from Russia isn't getting picked because of that atrocious hair cut.

Not in the first round. Sexsmith and Smith are likely the two best available.

Yea, I've heard he's a badass. I'm hoping my other team, the Mighty Ducks, takes one of these guys they keep talking about as sliders.

Its funny, my perfect draft had Petrecki at the #15 for the past few months, and now that its a choice between him, Esposito and Cherepanov, I would be absolutely devastated if they took Petrecki

This reminds me of gerald green a few years ago when we passed on him to take charlie v and then after 30 minutes of me swearing like crazy passign him again to take joey G.

I can see the Ducks taking Cherepanov since they could prolly afford him coming over a year late. That is why he's sliding correct?

This reminds me of the entire 90's decades when Sather would take all these crappy western guys (and Ryan Smyth) that went on to do absolutely nothing in the league. When he eventually changed his strategy, Jason Bonsignore was the result. Needless to say, the draft has never been my favourite time of the year
