I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the TSN hype machine of draft day, but the hard-on for draft picks is ridiculous. Look at every previous draft in history (except for 2003) and there usually has been a total of 2 or 3 guys out of the first round that are legitimate all stars and maybe 10-20 guys total in the whole draft that are regular contributing NHLers for their teams. If our first round pick ended up turning into a decent 2nd line centre at the age of 20 with the potential to become a first liner in a few years, I would be elated. This is why, I love this move and hope Colorado doesn't match.
