Sigh. Yesterday I was hoping that Lanny would fall to me at number 10. When he did, I made up a team name ("Team Moustache Rides"

) to celebrate my team captain, and even did up an entire blurb (with photos and youtube links) on why I was picking Lanny in the first round.

In the end, I couldn't pull the trigger, not because I didn't think Lanny was first round material, but because I liked the Mullen/Gilmour combo more than Lanny/Mullen or Lanny/Suter. Oh well.

Nice pick HD -- Lanny is the first player I think of when you talk about "All-time" Flames. He scored "The Goal" in Game 6 against Montreal, was the first to have his number retired, and still holds the Flames single season record for goals (66 in 82/83).

Suter is also a great pick at 12 -- he was easily the second best defenceman available, 5th in all-time team scoring...
