I feel a little solace, in that Philadelphia is really bad at drafting AND trading AND ufa selection. Kiprusoff really saved Calgary for a lot of years, and it's too bad the team in front of him was so erratic.
I actually feel a little bad in this upcoming draft when a team has to make a decision on Askarov. He is going to go high, but what a risk/reward.
I think Chicago will have no choice but to draft him if he hits #9. He could be the next Price, or the next...
Gutsy move would be Ottawa trading #3 for #6 and #17 (NJ), and then taking the goalie. They have no one looking good in the pipeline.
I'm almost as excited for the draft this year as I am for the completion of the season. There are so many good storylines.
