Board 8 > NHL draft discussion topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

The draft is in Dallas for the only time ever and somehow Im not even there. Rumors are heating up - Skinner likely on the move.

Anyways, nothing would make me happier than my team landing Panarin.
---

I'm more looking forward to July 1st to see what happens with Tavares.
---

I don't know who any of these prospects are, but I hope the Blue Jackets get a quality contributor or two. I don't think that I can reasonably ask for more.
---

We got a trade already! Caps send Orpik and the backup, which I'm not going to attempt to spell, to the Avs for the 47th pick.

So much for getting a 1st rounder.

EDIT: Grubauer
---

Hughes or Wahlstrom to the Hawks please.

Sens please take Tkachuk or Zadina

also Sandin at 22

also ... like can we stop being the center of a black hole?

Please sell the team
---

Sens should just fold tbh
---

Here for the trades
---

Montreal is either brilliant or just reached like crazy
---

It's Montreal, do you really have to wonder?

Hey, there is a first time for everything, look at all those 1st round pick in recent years....

the only good one they traded away.... oh
---

Wow I hate Tkachuk already
---

Happy with Tkachuk

Arizona... wut? This is why you are always bad. Zadina gifted to Red Wings
---

lmao Arizona what are you doing

I'm feeling pretty nice about Detroit's chances now?
---

thank you thank you to Montreal and Arizona
---

Man. I dunno much about Boqvist. I don't think he was among the defensemen that were talked about to the Hawks. But I was pretty okay with one of those top defensemen or Wahlstrom so eh we'll see I guess.

Wait, is the draft today?
---

Yay Oilers got a guy that I have vaguely heard of but can't remember exactly what because I never actually follow prospects at all and thus have no idea whether I should be happy or angry about draft picks. I feel like anger is a safe default assumption with Oilers management but maybe this is an exception?
---

oh yeah get those 3rd rounders
---

I hate my team

lets take some random dude instead of Sandin
---

Another offensive defensemen for the Hawks. First two picks last year and this year were on defensemen. Going all in on that defensive rebuild, can't say I blame them, hope some of these guys work out!

Sandin is cool
---

of course....
---

Amazing how far Veleno is falling here. There have been some reaches for defensemen later in this round.
---

Red Wings take Veleno. We get a couple high ranked players that fell below where expected. I am okay with this.
---

First round done. See you all in the morning for round 2!
---

Kovalchuk to the Kings. 3 years.
---

Oh hey a decent trade. Calgary wins that one, I think
---

so Marc Methot tweeted about an Ottawa restaurant a few days ago. Decided to check it out.

Food was fantastic.

On a funny note, he was there.
---

Carlson 8 years 64 million
---

That's a decent chunk of change
