Peter wroteCOLONMonahan should be a top 5 pick, any year. This draft is stupid, in a good way.

Very good prospect, no disputing that. My comment was only in regard to my estimate as to where he was going to be drafted being a laughable comment as it is where he is ranked lol.

This draft should be a fun one for TV as it will be super unpredictable. I am especially interested to see where Nichushkin goes. He could go anywhere from 3-10 imo, stupid Russian factor.

and he is a true Russian, not an english speaking CHL developed, always wanted to play in the NHL, faking made for the NHL russian.

But he's also a true russian in the offensive punch he brings - one man show potential.

i dont mind listening to craig button, always entertaining,

but he has to be different, just to stand out i'd assume.

A week away. Excited, despite not have anything before a mid 3rd.

ya pumped

i'll add Mackinnon + 1 of Monahan/Nurse/Shinkaruk/Domi

I'll add a bunch of guys who won't do shit for 4-5 years ...

This should be a fun draft. This is easily the most prep work I've put into doing a draft. I can't say I've seen many of these guys play so it's about getting familiar with them. Between being in this league and seeing more of the drafts and draft coverage on TV and online, it helps to get to know who some of these guys are before the draft rather than just read about the prospects after the draft or just focus on who the Red Wings picked.

i'm surprised to see gibson on there, did he fall off the wagon or something

i know it's chris and not the other one, but still

Rumours are brewing that one of the two best players in this draft may fall to the Dallas stars at 4th overall.
More stoked for Friday than most bbkl days.

anton isn't taking Jones?

Jones at 4 would be unreal for whoever owns that pick.

doubt it happens though. Anton has stated multiple times that he thinks Jones is the best h2h player out of the top 3. How on earth could he pass him up after talking him up so much in this very thread lol.

id take jones at 1.

i'd take jones at 7 =D

I thought Steve's plan was to take Jones unless that's changed.

anton wroteCOLONid take jones at 1.

luckily for you, you'll get him at 2.

Shoalzie wroteCOLONI thought Steve's plan was to take Jones unless that's changed.

yes, yes they have

Always weary about taking a defenseman at 1 ...
