Post subject:  2008 Draft

It's a foregone conclusion that the Lightning will take Steve Stamkos. After that, it's a complete crapshoot.


That being said, look for the Hawks to package the #11 pick with either Havlat, Barker, or both, for a veteran scorer, or physical defenseman.

Any ideas on who that veteran scorer or defenseman will be??

Olli Jokinen is finally tiring of the situation in Florida, and may well be seeking a trade. Patrick Marleau and Jason Spezza are names that have been floated around as well.

Defensemen are a scarcer commodity, but again, look for Florida to try to reload, and do so by divesting themselves of Jay Bouwmeester.

I would take a defenseman if I were the Flyers. All of the top D-men figure to go immediately after Stamkos, however. If 6'7" Tyler Myers falls due to questions of his skill vs. his size, look for the Flyers to pounce, as their d-corps is somewhat aging, and they're always looking to take on size, particularly on the blue line. I don't see Myers falling THAT far, however.

Did you put your name in for the draft this year? I'm still waiting for the call.

Phoenix just made the steal of the offseason - I don't know who's in charge down there, but he must be great.....

Jokinen is a beast....wish the Hawks could have been a player in that one.

Looks like the Hawks got some nice defensive help in day 2, specifically the kid they picked up in the 3rd round that many projected to be a first round guy.

They gave up Keith Ballard though, who is an excellent young defenseman.
