anyone else listening to the draft? Yep; can't believe Forsberg has only just been taken at 11th by WSH; same with Grigorenko - such talented players. Still think TOR drafting Rielly is an odd one as he's effectively a clone of Gardiner and they need help at forward, especially at centre.

Pittsburgh traded center Jordan Staal to the Carolina Hurricanes for the No. 8 pick in the Draft (they selected Dman Derrick Pouliot, center Brandon Sutter and defense prospect Brian Dumoulin. We didnt realy get the deal we should have, mainly because he turned down a 10year contract offer which devalued any trade that we were going to make. We would have been better off not making the offer, but must have thought there was a chance he would sign it. He obviously wasnt happy with playing 3rd line centre anymore. We have also traded Zbynek Michalek to the Coyotes The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired defenseman Harrison Ruopp, goaltender Marc Cheverie and a 2012 third-round draft pick (81st overall) from the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for Zbynek Michalek, it was announced by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero. triblive.com/sports/penguins/2081205-85/staal-shero-penguins-didn-million-disrespect-agent-carolina-center-extension

Staal was stuck behind Malkin & Crosby; can't blame him for not signing another deal. Great deal for both teams IMO.

A quick question, slightly of topic – Does anyone know why there was 31 draft picks in round 2 this year?

I don't know this time, but the other year it happened when one of the Ranger's prospects died, and they were given an extra pick as 'compensation' (would kind of hate to be the guy they picked with that pick) Might be something along those lines?

I really hope we sign Schultz, but then I guess there will be 30 teams trying.

It finally happened. Disappointed. Schultz is rumoured to be signing for a Western team, probably EDM

I think he'll go to Vancouver. Fits all the needs you could possibly want. Cap space, contender, could do with another defenseman and a good history of developing youngsters.
We're exactly the same, but we're not Canadian.

Twitter saying that TOR VAN PHI NYR & EDM are the teams he's interested in; If they have any sense, EDM goes hard after him given they have no defense or goal despite a plethora of top knotch forwards...

Well the sensible option would have been to draft a defense man like Murray instead of Yakupov, although I appreciate that he wouldn't help them immediately.

Rumour floating around is PHI have offered ANA Simmonds, two 2nds & a 3rd for Ryan.

Crosby will be singing a new 10 year deal with PITT, worth $100m according to Darren Dreger; Tukka Rask poised to sign a one year deal with BOS too.

Great hit, length a bit questionable. I know the Flyers are probably the worst for it, but there really needs to be a 5 year cap on contract length...
