This is being streamed on NHL.com right?

So Dubynk re-signed, Hiller to SJ?! (my speculation)

I'm starting to review the first round and its starting to sink in, some great moves by clubs. NYI and OTT really stand out. Not sure what TOR is up to, for sure they needed to get back into the second round but they aren't adding anything, just replacing picks.

Good question. And the more I think of it, the more I love the Hamilton-trade. Flames' position in this year's draft wasn't the best possible. All the big wingers and great defenders were gone, when Bruins made their 15th pick. Yeah, there were still Connor & Barzal, but Flames already have a nice 1-2 punch in the center-position with Monahan-Bennett. Same reason, why Bruins didn't have interest in neither of the duo Barzal-Connor. I bet the Flames wouldn't have taken neither of them. Maybe Juulsen or Boeser.

So I'm happy with Hamilton.

Which player should we pick at #53? Hard to predict who'll still be available... But if we drafted a defender, I hope it's going to be someone of Dunn-Meloche-Roy. For the forward position, one of Fischer, Gagne, Korostelev.

Parker Wotherspoon, maybe Jordan Greenway.

I think Kyle Dubas thinks he can add guys at those picks who are just as good, as per what his numbers say. Just leveraging his assets to more quality ones. Time will tell.

I would have paid a 3rd and a 7th for Lack.

Pretty light price for what some consider is a starter. I know Ray Ferraro is high on him.

Interesting move by COL, two mid second rounders in different years for the first second rounder. Not sure thats a good move.

"Acquired from Colorado for No. 39 pick, 2nd-round pick (2016) and 6th-round pick (2017)"

I'm listening on the Rogers Radio app, likely a few minutes behind.

I'm impressed I'm up already

Rumoured Gibson to Edmonton.

 

[Taranis]

But what is Anaheim bringing in? Rumor right now is Kessel or Dion.

Oh wow. Didn't see this.

I know I mentioned this earlier, but given the recent pick, like what Ottawa is doing.

Hoping we can somehow get Kylington
