Would love to get Roger McQueen.

Doesn’t quite rhyme, but I like it

Be Lames for James

Misa/ Martone are pushing for first, I think it will be a three man race

Bet it's Martone that goes number one overall. Hagens would not be my choice with a number one overall pick, like what I mentioned in another thread. Not enough elite skating to go along with below-average size. Misa's a dynamic skater, and he could definitely make it a contest. But Martone is already 6'3", a true power-forward, and just turned eighteen. Considering how few true powerforwards there are...I'm betting he's the number one pick.

But my choice is still McQueen because I don't think we're going to pick in the top three. Top five, especially with more injuries? Sure, but not top three. And a 6'5" center who can shoot and skate well for his size? Yeah, I'd love that.
