That is astounding. Todd Button must worship Kyle Woodlief from Red Line Report.

Woodlief's NHL mock draft:

25. Montreal — Emile Poirier. Hear that? It's the sound of fervent praying as the Habs try to subconsciously will the rest of the league into staying away from this hometown Montreal stud. If they land him at No. 25, mark our words — it will be the biggest steal of the draft.

Last year Woodlief's mock draft had the Sens pick Jankowski at #15. Feaster got him at #21 by trading #14 for #21 (Jankowski) and #42 (Sieloff):

15. Ottawa — Mark Jankowski.

”The Murrays are bold enough to make this pick, aren’t they? The last time they were sitting at #15 they took a gamble on a small but super-skilled kid named Karlsson. Ring a bell? Has the feel of a Tim Murray shoot-for-the-homerun upside type of pick.“

My first reaction (like many who listened to TSN comments and rankings) was to assume that Calgary should've traded down to pick Poirier later on, or else pick Poirier at #28. It now seems clear to me there was a significant risk that Montreal takes him at #25 or even trades up to get him at #23.
