[HelloHockeyFans]

Darn. There goes my prediction for the Flames pick.

wow you're drunker than I am... if he falls to 18, I hope he falls to 19

[Hack&Lube]

There's no way Espo and Cherpnov fall to 18, there's 4 spots left with the Oilers next...I say Oil go for Espo since Lowe has problems with Russian transfer.

[Machiavelli]

Lowe will do something crazy for sure.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

Well, he was picking his nose while the camera panned on him before, so maybe that's why?

[serge2k]

Lowe might not take Cherepanov?

Burke won't.

Rangers... maybe...

He'll try to draft Cherepanov and Esposito with one pick.

Well if the Oilers get him lets hope that transfer agreement doesn't go over well.

[Phanuthier]

Wow, Cherapanov looks like he's ready to kill someone.

Does everyone forget how Malkin left Russia? What a crazy story. Doug Maclean said something about risking one of their (admin's?) life to get Zherdev. Transfer agreement, et al... risky business.

[LouCypher]

Considering how close the Flames are and Sutter's comments about Espo...I could see them trying to move up right about now. A few spots might not be such a stretch.

[Jing]

I think cherepanov will go at 15. What are the thoughts on petrecki?

[spiteface]

i say cherepenov drops and we dont select him..

[JiriHrdina]

Either one makes sense. They have mutliple picks and made a "safer" choice with Gagner. They can afford to take the risk up a Esposito or Cherepanov.

Or if there is a team behind them that is hot n' heavy for either this is where Lowe might find a deal.

Entertaining draft so far.

Yup Sutter drafts a bruising dman instead and the board crashes 30 seconds later.

[lewdvig]

I think teams are just tired of the drama that comes along with so many kids from Russia. It isn't like the Red Army days when they were workaholic robots.

[Resolute 14]

If Lowe doesn't take Cherepanov, he should be fired before he steps off the podium.

[Phanuthier]

I don't think Gagner is a safe pick at all. He could be Corey Perry, but there's some serious doubts. I thought Ellerby would have been a safer pick.

[AC]

I hope we go after Gilles.

[Flames09]

....and the Oilers DON'T TAKE CHEREPANOV.

[metallicat]

Wtf.
