glad there was some league input!

before the 2011 Entry Draft.

my bad ... I'll re-pick

What the hell caused everyone to start naming their damn children Tanner in the early '90s?

Makes me envision young people fashioning leather garments.

A self fulfilling The Village People fantasy, Mike?

I don't understand everyone giving their children last names for first names ... MacKenzie, Tanner, Conner, Cooper, etc. I'm waiting for Smith.

Seriously, who names their kids Hampus Frk ?

Blake, Nolan, Johnson

wait wait wait ... Johnson? Please tell me you're fucking kidding.

Yep... even seen a patient of mine whose first named that.

not sure what's worse, last names for first or parents who combine names to make one. Example: Jackery ...

Connor and cooper sound like first names to me. Connor more than cooper mind you.

Rumor:

How highly did the Blue Jackets value defenseman Ryan Murray before taking him with the No. 2 overall pick in Friday's first round of the NHL Draft? Enough to turn down an eye-opening offer from the New York Islanders, who, according to numerous NHL sources, offered all of their picks -- one in each round -- for the right to move up from No. 4 to No. 2 for Murray.

That's right, for the Jackets' No. 2 pick, the Islanders offered pick Nos. 4, 34, 65, 103, 125, 155 and 185. The bounty would have given the Jackets the following picks: 4, 31, 34, 62, 65, 95, 103, 125, 152, 155, 182 and 185. And if that weren't enough, the Jackets could have had the Kings' No. 30 if they wanted it.

Next week's development camp would have required two sheets of ice.

Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson offered a "no comment" when reached by The Dispatch late Sunday. After Friday's first round, he did mention a "very attractive" trade offer the Blue Jackets declined before selection Murray, a precocious prospect whom many think could play in the NHL this season.

The Islanders, unable to move up for Murray, drafted highly-touted defenseman Griffin Reinhart with the No. 4 pick. But they didn't stop there. The Islanders spent all seven of their picks on defensemen.


From that Portline guy from earlier. He is a fairly reputable source.

i don't believe that to be true at all.

And if it was, both GMs should be fired on the block lol

Regardless, CBJ were smart to take Murray. A lot more of a safe pick, but he still has exceptional qualities.

As a side note, please feel free to drop your draft picks in CBS once made to prevent 5 billion times the work for us later I'd suggest not dropping any of the current round.
