NHL Entry Draft Discussion Thread

[RGM81]

Talk all things draft-related (including trades!) here.

I'll start with the Montreal perspective -- Night One was an absolute home run for this franchise. Demidov is going to be fantastic and because he's under contract in the KHL this upcoming year, they don't have to rush him in as an 18-year old. Let the process unfold. Hage was also a great pick--tremendous story, if a bit sad, but he grew up a Habs fan and now he gets to live the dream. And of course today....Saku Koivu's son is a Montreal Canadiens draft choice. I'm officially old. And pumped, I get to pull that jersey out of retirement now.

How is your team doing?

Any new PC's?

As an Habs fan, I am happy with this draft. Also, I think that it was a good idea to send Celine Dion on the stage in Vegas to announce the choice of the Habs.

As a Hawks fan I think we did great. Some fans got all mad about skipping Eiserman with the 18th pick but, after reading the scouting reports I'm glad we did.

Demidov is going to be a beast, quite arguably the steal of the draft. I thought he would have went a pick or two sooner.
