Start at 01.00 CET?

Start at 01.00 CET?

Yeah, think so. Canal+ will start broadcasting 01.00 CET. However, Swedish announcers on a draft? Hopefully those online streams are good.

I haven't allowed Canal+ to ruin my NHL experience for a long time now, online-streaming with original commentators is soooo much better.

Nice job on the layout Elvstrand. I have the draft set to record in case I can't watch it but I will be checking out this thread. It makes it easy to read and digest, thanks.

nice thread

I will be tracking the draft on SvenskaFans.com too. So I might be a little slow at times with the updates here.

Judging by the past Ducks history of selecting guys a) rated later than I expect b) who I don't know much about and c) who I didn't like or dislike at the time...

I'm going to predict they pick either Jordan Caron or Ryan O'Reilly.

And lets see if this site is still up come draft time or not.

Hmm yeah, if server is too busy I might not be able to update.

Well, they did close down a bunch of threads and shut off other features to help, but we'll see.

I woudn't be unhappy with Caron. I liked the little I saw of him.

Well... If I can't update here, I will still do it here:

http://www.svenskafans.com/nhl/artikel.asp?id=303242

Spelare = Player
SM = Games Played
Liga = League

The rest you'll understand... Although, there are sites in English that will track this too lol. But, if you see I update there but not here, it's simply because I have trouble getting onto HFboards.

Dreger said live on VS that Pronger is traded to the Flyers. We'll see.

lol, Bettman's French.

As for the Pronger trade, I assume if it went through, he'll mention it before the Islanders make their pick, or at least before ours. Its a big enough transaction.

lol, Bettman's French.

As for the Pronger trade, I assume if it went through, he'll mention it before the Islanders make their pick.
Bettman's a pimp. Just chuckles at the boos and turns them into cheers. I hope he never retires.

Bets on the Islanders pick?

I'll guess Tavares

Tavares. Says me.

No word from Bettman on a Pronger trade...

Isles take Tavares.

I actually don't dislike him, I found his reaction funny.

Isles select Tavares. I personally would have taken Hedman, but that's me.

Islanders pick Tavares. I would have picked Hedman...

Ha, quick edit, Jim.

I hate that everyone wastes time thanking the host team.

Tavares is first, the drama has ended: right pick for the Isles!

What was the point of all the secrecy again? Just to make the Islanders relevant in the hockey media for a while?

Who's the little kid? Is this something that will be happening for every team?

As expected, now Hedman is going second and Duchene third.

Pronger to Philly for Lupul, Sbisa, and two 1st rounders.

Just WOW, amazing return for a one year rent! :yo:

Ha, quick edit, Jim.

I hate that everyone wastes time thanking the host team.

Changed just in time :sarcasm: That's the only one I'll guess all night mind

Trade time?

Sbisa = nice
Lupul = why?
2 1sts = pretty nice

Damn similar to the deal we made to get him

Lupul is back in Anaheim. Along with Luca Sbisa and draft picks for Pronger.

No surprise there.

Lupul = why?

Philly couldn't afford Pronger without dealing Lupul.
I think is contract is something like 4.25. Yeah, I'm not amazed by it but who cares, one good prospect and two first is a damn good way to rebuild the team.

Sigh. God I hate Lupul. His contract is better value than Penner's, but he's still overpaid. And he's Lupul.

Is lupul the right answer to secondary scoring problems?

We got also a conditional 3rd round pick. Overpayment? :D

I like this deal.
Sure,4,25 for Lupul is too much,but he is a 20-goal scorer and we needed such a player.He is still young and will be a good addition to our top 6 forward group.
Sbisa is a good prospect who should be able to crack our lineup for the next season.He could really benefit playing one year with Scottie.
With the picks,we will improve our prospect pool.Or perhaps deal the 21st for 2 picks this year.

damn good way to rebuild the team.

Murray certainly has impressed me so far with the trades he's made

Is lupul the right answer to secondary scoring problems?

Probably not the answer, but it's an improvement methinks.

Who knows more about the guys at 21 available?

Probably not the answer, but it's an improvement methinks.
You can say that about Lupul at least. He's better than Christensen.

It's like we rented Pronger for three years and got our deposit back.

Duchene at least sounds like he has a personality. Tavares couldn't sound anymore dull.

Duchene at least sounds like he has a personality. Tavares couldn't sound anymore dull.
Mushmouth, too. Duchene sounds like a smart kid.

So now we have the 15th and the 21st pick. will be interesting to see what happens..

Mushmouth, too. Duchene sounds like a smart kid.

John "Shannon Sharpe" Tavares?

Atlanta selects Evander Kane as expected.

You can say that about Lupul at least. He's better than Christensen.

It's like we rented Pronger for three years and got our deposit back.

And a better defenseman in return.

I have a feeling that the Kings are gonna screw it once again.

C'mon Lombardi, you can sound a little more excited talking about Luc. He sounds like a 7th grader giving off his book report.

Kings take Schenn. Hmm

After a loooooong tale they finally selected Schenn.
I hoped they would make a fool of themselves once again. Oh well...

That switch is an indication of what we could get for #15

16 + 77 for 26 + 37 + 62 + 92

BTW, in the Reg today Murray mentioned that there were 2 guys his staff had identified that they would move up for. Any guesses?

A bit higher than expected, Dallas selects Scott Glennie. One of my favourites is out.

Hoping Kassian slips to 15th.

Joe Nieuwendyk shows us how to announce a draft pick. Short and sweet.

And Bob McKenzie was wrong footed, that's a rarity

Kadri @7, Glennie @8, wow.

Glennie looks like he's 12 years old.

Some surprises with Glennie and Kadri going a little higher.

I kind of wanted Glennie and would have entertained a move up for him.

Ducks will have a chance to take one of:
Kassian
Schroeder
Kulikov
Cowen
MPS
Ellis

And a better defenseman in return.

Not to mention the big shiny thing we got as a bonus in '07.

Worth it.

I'd shy away from Kassian: Ducks-type player but high bust potential.

To that list I'd add Moore also.

Per James Mirtle. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/nhl-draft-day-blog/article1198318/

Tampa Bay are looking to move up and get another first rounder
Lawton: "We are trying to move up for another first round pick...offered our two second rounders or possibly next years first."

They have 32 and 52 IIRC, anyone interested? I don't think it's enough personally.
Although I'm intrigued about maybe taking a gamble on how they do next year

Sorry for the delay, had some problems on SvenskaFans.com... Should be able to update faster now.

I wonder if the acquisition of Sbisa will change our plan for the selection in this draft. Hopefully not, but our prospect pool definitely need a good forward.

I didn't know the kid from Bad Santa was an Oilers fan...

I'd trade both our firsts this year for Tampa's first next year. Taylor Hall anyone?

MPS to Edmonton :(

I'd trade both our firsts this year for Tampa's first next year. Taylor Hall anyone?

It could easily end up that way, I'd be interested to see the asking price for that pick.

I didn't know the kid from Bad Santa was an Oilers fan...
Ha.

Will Edmonton get an Anze Kopitar-like value with their dropping player? Or will they get a Rob Schremp/Lauri Tukonen?

I'd shy away from Kassian too, he's not going to be as good as people think..

Little bit more luck and we could get Kulikov

Nashville took Ellis: good, I didn't want him, he's like Bettman' size :help:

I kind of wanted Ellis even with the size issues

If you want D, Moore > Ellis IMO.

The good thing about Ellis was that he wasn't supposed to be soft despite his size.

I'm neither high nor low on him.

Our pick is coming up soon.

Kessel to the leafs for kaberle!

ha, i missed the bit that said rumour

Hopefully we get Moore or Schroeder.

Minnesota can't even get a 2nd round pick for 12? And 77 isn't a particularly high 3rd either...

edit: de Haan. Wow. I liked him, but not #12 overall liked.

Wow, DeHaan gone early.

Wow don't know why Islanders felt they had to move up for de Haan

Calvin de Haan? This is an insane draft so far.

Calvin De Haan taken by the Islanders. I was hoping we'd get him with the Flyers pick too. ****.

I kinda hope we get Kulikov or Leblanc. I'd be happy with either pick.

Traded up to go off the board a bit, seems a bit random

Yeah it is weird that they traded up for de Haan. I love him, but he's underdeveloped physically. So there is a lot of risk there.

Wow don't know why Islanders felt they had to move up for de Haan

Perhaps they got wind that a team picking before the 16th pick has plans on getting him? I know the Sharks did that with Setoguchi.

De Haan reminds me of Gardiner. Off the board offensive d-man with a ton of upside.

Wang and mini-me strike again: Isles trade up and pick Calvin de Haan. LOL

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/Sputniktechno/Shipmentoffail.jpg

Wang and mini-me strike again: Isles trade up and pick Calvin de Haan. LOL

Twice.

Hoping for John Moore and Peter Holland at this point.

Hopefully we get Moore or Schroeder.

Amen to that.

Kassian out: YAYYY!

Sabres take Kassian :)

I'm hoping for Schroeder and Kreider/RoundLeaf (hehe). Although Kulikov is dropping.

Buffalo is overcompensating with Kassian and Myers last year.

Schroeder still available :)

The Ducks can get one of Leblanc, Moore, Kulikov and Josefson now. No need to trade down, great position to be in :)

Schroeder and Moore are still available... I'm happy with either.

Kulikov to Florida, great pick for them.

Predictions for #15?

I have no idea so I'll say Schroeder

Damn, Kulikov is taken. Ah well, Schroeder, Moore, or Leblanc would be good picks.

Darn, I wanted Kulikov

We have the chance to take a great kid this year. Don't screw it, please!!!

Kulikov to Florida, great pick for them.Yep I wanted Ducks to pick him!

Moore?

Murray better ****ing take Schroeder.

We don't need any more ****ing two way players. We need a legit offensive prospect.

Take the shrimp. Throw him with Selanne. Calder!

One can dream.

I have a feeling we're gonna pick Moore.

Excited!!! Moore or Shroeder!!

Hopefully they don't take another logan macmillan type player. Please take Schroeder.

Hopefully it's Schroeder

Excited!!! Moore or Shroeder!!Schroeder we got Sbisa! :D

Really bummed both Kassian and Kulikov are gone.

I just hope they don't go after another 1 dimensional player.

Take Schroeder! Just do it!

Ducks are up..

Yeah, I'll take Schroeder.

The **** is that ****?

who knows anything about him?

****

WTF :shakehead

Peter Holland :amazed: Didn´t he have a character!?

Are you ****ing kidding me?

Bah. Holland was a do not want. Although some have said he's like Getzlaf in that he has a lot of tools and wasn't applying himself at the time.

I would have preferred Ashton to Holland if they wanted to go big.

This guys attitude and work ethic have seriously been questioned but he has alot of talent.

Twice.

Hoping for John Moore and Peter Holland at this point.

Well, i kinda thought we'd nab him @ 21.. i like him but it's a bit of a reach.

Any chance we can take Schroeder or Moore at 21?

Ducks finally have a chance to add a high level offensive prospect and they **** it up.

Okay we screwed it. Where's the shipment of fail pic now?

It could have been worse, they could have picked someone like Carter Ashton. **** I really wanted Schroeder.

Any chance we can take Schroeder or Moore at 21?

In a word: NO.

Sounds a lot like what they were saying about Getzlaf.

I'd rather Schroeder. I do like them going after someone with "huge offensive upside".

Any chance we can take Schroeder or Moore at 21?

If they wanted either of those two they'd have taken them with 15 and Holland probably would still be around at 21.

Watch Minnesota pick Schroeder now.

I kind of get the feeling we could have got Holland at 21.

Holland seems like a project high risk-high reward type. Although that's kind of like how Gardiner was so maybe it makes sense MO wise.

Didn't Murray say they needed more speed sometime last season? Holland isn't particularly fast, is he?

Ducks finally have a chance to add a high level offensive prospect and they **** it up.

Actually, that's exactly what they took. Just not the one you wanted.

Bah. We could have nabbed him with the second pick. Not entirely happy with this pick.

I kind of get the feeling we could have got Holland at 21.

Holland seems like a project high risk-high reward type. Although that's kind of like how Gardiner was so maybe it makes sense MO wise.

That's not exactly a good MO to have. It's fine to spring for the boom-or-bust type player every once in a while, but to do it on a regular basis is a bit foolish.

At least we drafted a center with offensive talent. That's big.

Why is Schroeder falling?? It would be awesome if he was available at 21.

Okay we screwed it. Where's the shipment of fail pic now?

http://inquisitr.com/extra/wp-content/2008/12/shipment-of-fail.jpg

Deschamps V.2?

It may not, but it is what the Ducks have done semi-frequently with Ryan, Gardiner, and Holland. Although Mitera and MacMillan were safer types.

According to this http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=281920 and from what I've seen he's definately not slow. He's no Andy McDonald though.

Hmm that's interesting. I was under the impression he was more of a Getzlaf-type in terms of skating. I guess that sounds a little better then.

Roundblade is gone. Sigh. Well Schroeder's still there, but it's doubtful he lasts to 21.

Runblad! No!

Well, hopefully Schroeder manages to stay available at 21 (or one of Leblanc, Despres, Moore...)

He's no Andy McDonald though.

That's Schroeder probably.

Anyway I don't dislike what I've read about Holland, but I don't really know much about him.

MacMillan was far from a safe pick and usually you don't pick third liners that high.

Rundblad to St.Louis! After all we're gonna get someone good at 21# :)

Kreider is still available too. That's good :nod:

Habs will take Leblanc.

Hopefully Schroeder and or Moore is available and the Ducks actually pick one of them instead of going off the board. Holland is intruiging though.

Kind of a reach, but he seems like one of the bigger forwards out there after Kassian. Murray seems to do pretty well going after forwards so I'm not too worried.

I imagine they are targeting forwards more than D since they have Sbisa, Gardiner, Mitera, Salcido, Festerling, Mikkelson in the system now. Plus Wiz and Whitney are very young.

Amazing pick!

Holland looks like a Ducks type of player! and still 21st to go! :handclap:

I must say that Holland looks nasty.

God dammit. I wanted the Ducks to take him :(

Who saw that coming?

Can Leblanc even fit on the stage with all those other suits already there?

Shouldn't they hate him for ditching the Q for college hockey? Or are they hoping he ditches Harvard? Seriously, Harvard?

Obvious pick for Montreal.

I didn't want Leblanc, good.

Although I would have prefered Schroeder at 15,Holland doesn't sound that bad.He has a lot of tools,but has to learn to do the dirty work.If he can fix that,he should be a good center in the future.

I don't like that kind of prospect though. I don't think you can often change the playing style of a player. It's like painting a tiger's stripes on a kitten. How often does it work? If anything, players tend to get more timid once they end up in the NHL with bigger guys.

But if they can do it, then Holland has some some big potential.

Not I have a bad feeling like Anaheim is gonna pick someone like Ashton or Josefson... or even worse. :help:

But I like that the reports say about Holland,that the potential is there and he can be a good NHLer.

For the 21st,it should be anoye of

Schroeder
Moore
Josefon
Despres
Ashton

Schroeder
Moore
Josefon
Despres
Ashton

We will pick someone else I fear.
Kreider to the Rangers :(

Rags take Kreider.

Not I have a bad feeling like Anaheim is gonna pick someone like Ashton or Josefson... or even worse. :help:

It wouldn't surprise me, Ashton looks like he could be pretty good but I'd prefer Schroeder.

Kreider. The one I wanted at 21. But Schroeder's still there.

Please be Schroeder or Moore.

I repeat myself: first Moore, then Schroeder.

Did Rangers pick 19 or 20??

Did Rangers pick 19 or 20??

19th

We're gonna go of the board again. Drew Shore or someone in that range.

NJ just traded up. Schroeder for Parise v2?

Devils trade up to 20. Probably to take someone I want.

In a word: NO.

Good call.

Schroeder is avaiable......

Josefson to the Devils.

Murray.

Take Schroeder.

Please.

Yeah josefson out.

Please please please, make it be MOORE!!!

Now, Bob, make me 2 for 2 and take John Moore.

Josefson picked. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease take Schroeder, Murray. Please

I want Moore.

Good call.

Did you want me to jinx? :D

I want Scroeder or Moore.

I have no preference which but Schroeder or Moore please

Not Despres.

Trade?

We traded it?

Guess we didn't want Moore or Schroeder...

Trade.

We traded down again.

Traded to Columbus, now we pick later in the draft.

There must be something about Schroeder or Moore that we don't know about. Poor interviews? Potential headache down the road? Kind of reminds me of the Patrick O'Sullivan deal back in 2003.

love it!

Good. This means we don't like neither Moore nor Schroeder.

LOL.

OK so now we're going to blow the 1st, but get a good guy with the 2nd. Like MacMillan and Tangradi.

Although with the way the rest of the guys are "bunched, even and inconsistently ranked," then it might make sense. But Schroeder's still there...

edit: Moore taken now. I kind of liked Moore, but we have a semi-equivalent in Gardiner. I would have liked Moore more than Gardiner, but there's still semi-overlap there.

I might have liked that if it wasn't 3am. 5 more picks = another hour awake

do the math...look at what we got? This is HUGE! What a great trade....value chart, do the math boys.

26 and 37. It's a good trade, we can still get Schroeder and Moore ;)

Obviously Murray doesn't like Schroeder very much he would have picked him now if he did.

26 and 37. It's a good trade, we can still get Schroeder and Moore ;)

No we can't.

Bye bye Moore.

Kind of sucks to trade away that pick when Schroeder and Moore are still available, but nice deal. Move down 5 spots for an early second rounder? I'd hit that.

And there goes Moore.

What the ****.

I might have liked that if it wasn't 3am. 5 more picks = another hour awakeIt´s 5 am here :D

do the math...look at what we got? This is HUGE! What a great trade....value chart, do the math boys.

A mid second rounder to move down 5 spots. It's decent.

Well, Moore certainly has some pretty sisters :naughty:

Amazing trade! Murph is on a roll.

5 spots for an extra second?

IMO, a move down only five would probably worth a 3rd or 4th.

It´s 5 am here :D

neither of us win. this must be the slowest the draft has ever been

Apparently Schroeder is a fan of Avery, maybe he has an Avery like personality??

4AM here, this draft is taking forever :help:

5 spots for an extra second?

IMO, a move down only five would probably worth a 3rd or 4th.
See 2007. 16 = 19 + 42. Or 21 = 30 + 36.

It's roughly market value.

See 2007. 16 = 19 + 42.

Last year, 12 = 17 + 28.

Last year, 12 = 17 + 28.
12 is a lot higher than 16 or 21 though. Moving up x costs more the higher the pick is.

But yeah, the scale all seems pretty similar.

5 spots for an extra second?

IMO, a move down only five would probably worth a 3rd or 4th.

Yer, Didn't Calgary just get a third to move down 4?

Vancouver gets Schroeder.

And there goes Schroeder, to Vancouver.

Two steals in a row.

I told ya we have our eyes on someone else.

**** me.

Peter ****ing Holland over Schroeder.

Great. Now we get to hear about Schroeder and Hodgson and how Vancouver are the favorites in 2011 or something.

Oh well, Anaheim obviously didn't like Schroeder. I hope they're right. I don't like it as of now though.

I guess Schroeder did terrible in interviews... and he's 5-8.

Based on the trade though, I'm suprised we didn't trade down and get Holland later, Murary must have really liked him.

Wait a second. Schroeder isn't American. He says "organ-EYE-zation."

Now, who to pick? Despres?

Are we going to keep these next two picks or dump them for a player?

Now, who to pick? Despres?
Do not want.

I'm interested in Ashton, Ferraro, Palmieri. Maybe Morin. Too bad Erixon is gone.

Do not want.

I'm interested in Ashton, Ferraro, Palmieri. Maybe Morin. Too bad Erixon is gone.

I think he would be a perfect fit

Hopefully Rajala is available @37. The knock on him has been size but he's 5-10 now so he's not that small anymore.

26 i'd go Landon Ferraro or Carter Ashton.

Sutter sounds a bit drunk.

I'd be happy with Ferraro, I've liked what I've read about him.

So i was watching this draft much like you guys..
and much like you guys.. WHO THE **** IS HOLLAND

Hopefully Rajala is available @37. The knock on him has been size but he's 5-10 now so he's not that small anymore.

26 i'd go Landon Ferraro or Carter Ashton.

I wouldn't mind Rajala at 37. The kid oozes skill.

Ferraro anyone?

I like Ferraro and Ashton.

Ferraro anyone?

Fingers crossed?

McPhee doesn't change time when he travels to Europe? WTF?

i just got in from a birthday.

dad texted pronger got traded..

looks like a great trade for anaheim!

I don't know if this has been asked, but who was the guy who announced our selection for Holland?

Are there any decent goalies in this draft? I haven't heard about any.

i just got in from a birthday.

dad texted pronger got traded..

looks like a great trade for anaheim!

I for one am neutral on the trade as of right now, we'll see during the season if I warm up to it or not.

I don't know if this has been asked, but who was the guy who announced our selection for Holland?

I wondered that too.

Are there any decent goalies in this draft? I haven't heard about any.

I've heard its not a good year for goalies. I just know of Olivier Roy, who is probably a 2nd rounder.

Let's hear another off the board pick.

I for one am neutral on the trade as of right now, we'll see during the season if I warm up to it or not.

Sbisa is good. And picks. Lupul should help on the 2nd line hopefully.

I've heard its not a good year for goalies. I just know of Olivier Roy, who is probably a 2nd rounder.

Not that I want us to draft one, just wondering.

Sbisa is good. And picks. Lupul should help on the 2nd line hopefully.

I know but we're right side heavy and no lefts

Aren't we like the 8th owner of this pick?

Palmieri. Interesting pick.

Palmieri. I don't know anything about him.

Of note is the playoff goalscoring explosion.

I like Palmieri, he's a pretty safe pick with offensive upside.

I'm happy with Palmieri.

Meh on Palmieri. Would've rather had Ferraro.

Apparently he's a pimp though. That's always good.

Palmieri

Was Palmieri the one that Gare Joyce said had his stock dropping at the combine?

I think I would have preferred Ferraro, but I like him too.

edit: found it http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/juniors/2009/06/03/joyce_notebook/
Kids who had some explaining to do included, well, almost any kid from the US under-18 program but most certainly Palmieri and Morin. The way it was told to me, though, the scouts had more problems with the management of the development team than the kids themselves ... Those who might have talked themselves into disrepute: Guelph's Holland and UMinn's Schroeder. Scouts I talked to weren't much impressed.

Meh on Palmieri. Would've rather had Ferraro.

Apparently he's a pimp though. That's always good.

Me too, maybe he'll still be there later

Palmeri? Really? Interesting though

Was Palmieri the one that Gare Joyce said had his stock dropping at the combine?

I think I would have preferred Ferraro, but I like him too.

No, apparently he is ripped and dominated all the strength tests at the combine.

Have a good night guys, have to put the baby to bed, etc..

Yeah I knew his physical was good. I was talking about the interviews. See my edit.

Also an interesting little bit on the interview results of our pick and who we all wanted with our pick at 15.

Apparently he's a pimp though. That's always good.

With the return of Lupul and now Palmieri, I wonder how they'll safeguard the Power Players? :sarcasm:

Palmieri and Lupul are gonna have fun with the power players I guess. Where's McDonald now? :D

Palmieri is a good kid and a great player. I really like his upside and as mentioned before, a pretty safe player to pan out. I saw him extensively at St. Peter's in New Jersey and loved what I saw. Congrats, you guys got another fine player.

Apparently he got kicked off his team for not telling management about him or someone else having girls in his room. If that's the case I don't see that as a big deal, I'd do the same in his position.
