If Ottawa goes with Parekh I hope they pick Parascak.

 

[Gecklund]

I don’t think Silayev will drop that far but if he does YES PLEASE

 

[Ford Prefect]

And Demidov the 5th forward off the board? That would be something. And whoever gets Solberg is going to get a steal.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Then the Sharks draft O’Reilly at 33? Yeah, that’ll do pig.

I'm predicting an early run on forwards instead of D and the russian factor for Demidov and Silayev.

You may very well be right. Though word out of Montreal (that I've heard) is that the order of preference appears to by Demidov --> Lidstrom --> Sennecke/Iginla. Take that for what it's worth. I don't think anyone has ears inside the Hughes/Lapointe/Bobrov circle.

 

[FlyerFire]

Not sure Philly take 2 defensemen. Dickinson for SURE but I think some centers later

I really don't think there are any wrong answers this year. I think you could put picks 2 through 12 in a hat and have as good a chance of getting some right. Plank, I noticed Eisermann at 19th. Don't see him slipping that far but if he does, I think Chicago takes him( goalscorer) with their 2nd pick, good chance he could mesh well with Bedard
