I used to follow this shit, but I don't even know who's good this year. Any opinions, projections, mock drafts, etc?

Stamkos will go first.

Zach Bogosian, my boy will go in the top 3..Possibly to LA

Based on the combine results that is a possibility.

based on the hype over the last two months i would say its a certainty.

I hope they take Doughty instead....me being a Ducks fan and all....Bogosian is so complete and scary.

I've been told it will be Bogosian. But who knows. I didn't expect us to pick Hickey last year.

According to the Wiki page, , this is a D-deep draft, which is appealing as a Thrashers fan.

(It's so weird that these guys were born in the '90s, now. When I followed the drat, the players were older than I was.)

If LA takes Bogosian that would really shake up fantasy drafts as that means Doughty probably goes to Atlanta (lots of question marks there). Not sure which of one those two is the BPA but hopefully the LA braintrust isn't making their choice based on saving face for reaching with Hickey.

Myers is way too much of a project to go that high, ditto with Beach.

Hickey was my favourite 2007 prospect but even i was surprised when he got called at 4. i literally choked on a peanut lol. He will be a great pp qb for a potential monster in LA though.

I think Bogosian goes 2 and Doughty goes to Atlanta.

The Kings brass still back up the Hickey pick and the way they put it was. Karl Alzner will be a good player for many years but to them he will only be a number three defenseman in the NHL. That's as high as they see Alzner. Hickey on the other hand they considering a player that could become a 1-2 guy in the NHL similar to Scott Niedermayer or Lubomir Visnovsky. They traded to trade down from 4 last year but could not. No other team wanted to move down to select a player and the only team they could trade with would have been after Boston who would have selected Hickey if LA didn't.

Bogosian has passed Doughty in some rankings. I think the biggest thing that would kill Kings fans is if he drafts Tyler Myers with the pick.

Its amazing how much Bogosian has moved up...I read in the Hockey News draft edition today that there is an outside chance he may even go first overall...He is that good, and has improved that much.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm an inside source on this draft since my younger brother played with Viktor Tikhonov when he was in Northern California (Viktor was over two years younger than some of the pee-wees on the team)

Anyway, the inside information is that Viktor's mom is hot. Or, she was anyway. Kinda bitchy though.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

go pick up the Hockey News Draft preview issue and read the article..

They talk about Tampa looking to making a trade and swapping picks..

Serge, I have the issue and what do you expect them to say,"hey everyone, don't bother tuning in as the #1 pick is a forgone conclusion."

Just because something is written doesn't make it even remotely true. I've seen you write that the Leafs are not that bad when in fact they suck.

Also, if this kids name wasn't Bogosian you wouldn't even know who he was let alone be talking about him.

fair enough..I was repeating what they say...Not only do we share the same name..The kid is Armenian..This is a huge thing for our community..So there...



I was also looking at the draft list..It looks like the Leafs are in a position to pick a good scoring forward as all the guys afer Stamkos are Dman..

GO LEAFS GO
