It is so easy to hate on Edmonton, especially when they use their lucky powers to screw us again. That being said, I think they made the correct pick. That kid is good.

Pretty amazing.
4 players from the BCHL.
3 players from the WHL, 2 of them late in the 1st round.

Loubardias says he has been told if the Oilers didn't luck out, they were going to take Sergachev.

45 Samuel Girard - D

Flames need to get Boris Katchouk in the next round. Make their fist two picks Tkachuk and Katchouk!!

What a 1st round! Topsy turvy all the way through. I had a template for what I figured wat would transpire tomorrow but I just tossed all that out the window, who the hell knows whats going to happen.

I hope we can walk out of the 2nd with Niemelainen and Benson. That'd be stellar.

Do you think the Flames will make any trades on Saturday or it is pretty much over?

I think the Flames and Sabres hit home runs with Tkachuk and Nylander at 6 and 8. Great first round!

They still need 2 middle 6 RW or 1 top 6 RW. Theres still possibilities for trade. RW is still a real sore spot on this roster.

I think they'll move up in the second at some point when a guy they had pegged for 35 is available in the low 40s

Yeah I could see 54 + 66 to move up into the 40's to snag a guy like you said.

[David Struch]

Trade the Flames remaining nine picks (if needed) to move up and steal DeBrincat please... a right shooting sniper to go with either Gaudreau & Monahan or Tkachuk & Bennett.

[Hank Hill]

I'm hoping for either Raddysh or Bastian

What happened to the fan 960's coverage of the draft? Did something happen or were they just not covering it like they have in the past?

I tuned in after the flames pick and it sounded like a national feed- no steinberg, kerr, or boomer.

[JiriHrdina]

The eastern team had the first half of the night and Pat took over at around 8

[bob-loblaw]

I missed the draft on TV but saw that Giordano and Monahan were there. Were there any other teams that had their Captains or Alternates on stage?

[Da_Chief]

I know Ryan Johansen was part of Nashville's entourage. Don't remember others.

[hockey.modern]

Anyone know where I can rewatch the NBCSN feed? Want to see their perspective from SN.
