2013 Draft Day Thread

25. Mike McCarron to the Habs

Only a 3/5 compete level, doomed to failure.

It baffles me why VAN's ownership didn't fire Gillis along with AV after this year's debacle.  If they were never going to pony up for buying out Luongo, as it now is clear, they could have torched Gillis right after the season (which he deserved in any event), and then told the incoming GM he had 2 jobs: (1) trade Schneider, and (2) kiss and make up with Luongo.  Instead, they retained a crappy GM and are left with starting goalie who hates the crappy GM.  Brilliant.

This is the darkest day in Leafs history.

why?  I'm just happy the Leafs didn't draft that frickin' Domi?...

Just keeping up traditions.  Somebody needs to post that every year on draft day, whether it's applicable or not.

More trades, please.  This is boring....

26. Shea Theodore to Anaheim.

@DarrenDreger
Holland and Nonis also in a long discussion. Red Wings eager to add a defenceman as well.

They can have Liles.  We'll take a 2nd or whatever.

27. Marko Dano goes to Columbus

That's probably a good guess, if they make a deal at all.

Are you not entertained?

28. Morgan Klimchuk to the Flames

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I liked klimchuk and Shinkaruk as sleepers, I hope Gauthier is the real deal.

29. Jason Dickinson to Dallas Whalers

 

[Jolly good show chaps]

So as near as dammit 3 hours for round one.

Do the other rounds go quicker? Last draft I watched was the Kadri draft but don't think I watched much past the first round.

"There is not a single Cup winner built by free agency or trades"

Just Bogus. The Anaheim Ducks absolutely were.

Normally the first round is on a Friday I believe, goes about 2-3 hours, its televised. The rest of the rounds go Saturday and aren't televised I don't think. Could be a long night for everyone involved with the draft.

But the players they traded or signed were drafted at some point, minus a few players that go undrafted.

30. Ryan Hartman to the Blackhawks.

That's it for me on the pick by pick updates. Partly because I'm bored and just looking at Smiths videos on youtube now.
