2013 Draft Day Thread

[Peter D.]

mirtle: Leafs have traded up to 18th from 21.

Or not.

HeleneStJames: Contrary to tweets, DET has not traded 18th pick to Toronto. Faulty system, per Ken Holland.

Doesn't make sense to move up 3 spots so early in the draft.

6. Sean Monahan to the Flames

 

[bustaheims]

Seems like the kind of thing that would be crazy to do without any idea who would be available at #18.

Unless it was part of a bigger deal, yeah. It caught me off guard because of that.

 

[Kin]

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that this is Edmonton's 8,752nd straight year with a top ten pick.

 

[bustaheims]

And, in an event that should come as a surprise to no one, none of the top 7 picks have been traded.

FriedgeHNIC: RT @StapeNewsday #Isles have acquired Cal Clutterbuck from the Wild for Nino Niederreiter.

Nice return for the Wild. Nino's a bit of an enigma, but, he has huge potential.

 

[Kin]

7. Darnell Nurse to the Oilers

It would have been off the charts funny if the Oilers had gone with a forward. Anyways, the Oilers let two dopey kids in jerseys on the stage.

Edit: Darnell Nurse's uncle is Donovan McNabb.

Yeah, I'd give that deal to the Wild.

If that was the return then I'm pretty glad the Leafs weren't in on it.

Going to follow the updates on this thread chaps as can't get the live links working and it's not being broadcast in spiffing old England. So Top Gear is on TV and I'm on my Galaxy.

Keep it coming mateys.

Im kind of in the same boat, at work and no links will load up for me :/

8. Rasmus Ristolainen to the Sabres

Easy early leader for best name of the night. Ray Ferraro just referred to him as a "Horse" which, without the prefix of Race or Work, is really just confusing.

 

[Kin]

Wow. The #9 pick to Vancouver for Schneider.

Also, when the fans booed Bettman when he was announcing the trade he shushed them and said "I think you're going to want to hear this". Bettman is just killing it.

 

[louisstamos]

Wow.  Schneider to NJ for the 9th overall!

edit; Nik beat me to it.

Wow indeed. I guess that ends the Luongo saga in a way that no one really saw happening. I thought NJ might be a landing spot for Luongo, but, this is something.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

The word "heist" was appropriate.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately having issues with it working on my phone, which is a bit pants (the situation that is, not my Galaxy S3).

 

[Peter D.]

Brilliant move by Lou.

 

[KoHo]

How badly did Gillis botch this whole goaltending predicament? Total incompetency. Deserves to be fired.

 

[Leafaholic99]

Wow, I thought Lou would goto NJ, Brodeur isn't getting any younger....Schneider to NJ worries me, not sure how often we will face NJ but Schneids is a good goalie, dammit.
