			I am looking forward to Todd Button's wrap-up describing some of these players.  Really interesting this year.

			The biggest surprise here is that the Flames took a Russian with a late pick that isn't a goalie!

Getting their 7th-round business finished this year so they can leave early next year? After the stalling marathon last night, I wouldn't blame them.

It's only a 7th-round pick. For that, the standard punishment is that the scout has to wear the cone of shame for six months.
