It`s hard to believe now, but he was really being touted as a "can`t-miss" back then.

Basically, If Pittsburgh stays in the last spot they are guaranteed either the #1 pick or the #2 pic... Being from Pittsburgh and being a Penguin fan, I hope they get #1. Also from the talk around pittsburgh it appears as though the relationship between the Penguins and Craig Patrick is coming to an end.

i'd believe that... time for some new master and commander to direct the ship. the lemieux era is over.

it looks like St. Louis has a near 50% chance of getting #1 pick in '06...


and updated: they won 1st overall... here's the order...

looks 100% fair... don't see anything wrong with how they pick the order...

1. St. Louis Blues
2. Pittsburgh Penguins
3. Chicago Blackhawks
4. Washington Capitals
5. Boston Bruins
6. Columbus Blue Jackets
7. New York Islanders
8. Phoenix Coyotes
9. Minnesota Wild
10. Florida Panthers
11. Los Angeles Kings
12. Atlanta Thrashers
13. Toronto Maple Leafs
14. Vancouver Canucks

crazy, i know... but, i kinda like it.

and i don't think it matter much as the talent is quite diluted after the 1st 10 picks... many don't expect anyone lower than 10th overall this year to ever have much of an nhl impact...

4 more weeks.

(not that i can't wait...i'd like to think i value myself more..., rather, just a shameless bump to keep the thread alive)

some more news will start appearing soon, as it is starting to take more importance as teams get ready...
