The Canucks continue to be busy leading up to the Draft. Here is an update of this afternoon and what's being heard on the draft floor:

- Canucks send D Jason Garrison to the Tampa Bay Lightning along with the rights to Jeff Costello in exchange for the 50th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft.

- Canucks acquire Derek Dorsett from the New York Rangers in exchange for a third-round pick (85th overall)

- Darren Dreger reporting that teams are arriving on the draft floor and there is heavy speculation on the Canucks shifting focus on a quest for the first overall pick.

Why is it that Draft is the most exciting thing about this whole circus...? I prefer it to SC finals even. Draft is the best hockey there is.

Can someone PM me a link to watch an english stream online, ideally of the TSN feed? Want to watch it at work with the guys but no TV. TSN streamed it in the past but I guess not this year.

Honestly its only exciting if you have a top pick. For teams like Chicago LA , playoff hockey>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>draft and its not close.

I agree.

Draft + Trade deadline + Free agent frenzy are always great stuff

Nah I like watching it for all the teams. The chaos is always fun. I'm a Habs fan, we have nothing going on probably this year. Still super excited.

Playoffs are only fun when you're still in it.

Otherwise, draft and free agency is awesome.

ran into a bunch of NHL exec downtown in Phila today.

Lindy Ruff - stoic as usual; looked younger in person; weird part was he was wearing a Sabres golf shirt.

Funny, most of them seemed really caught off guard to be recognized.

So just to clarify this is 1 am CET? Because some streams says 22 and 23

Yes, 1 CET.

I'm watching OTR on the pre-show and this interview between Landsberg and Wiggens was so cringe-worthy.

Haha, I thought the same thing. Not the brightest tool in the drawer.

I think tonight is gonna get crazy

 

[Rob Nieds work ethic]

Going to get me a large bag of Nachos before it starts.

IMO, the draft is the most exciting/interesting NHL-related event of the year. Yeah, even more interesting than the Stanley Cup finals.

More representative of the sport of hockey than the Stanley Cup Finals is the gathering of a bunch of suits sitting around different tables occasionally calling out names from a podium. Really?

Not more representative, just more fun to watch when your team isn't involved in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Going to be pretty funny if everyone just stays put after all this commotion.
