Do you like this character? Is he the right fit?

Like a glove.

Will he still be there?

Should be unless somebody else really likes him (and I have no clue if Ottawa likes him either).

you have a group of 11 prospects who you could probably guarantee will go ahead of Ottawa:

Yakupov
Grigorenko
Galchenyuk
Forsberg
Murray
Teravainen
Dumba
Rielly
Trouba
Reinhart
Faksa

the rest is a crapshoot for me. You have guys like Brendan Gaunce, Zemgus Girgensons, Sebastian Collberg who could slide ahead as well.

And Maatta has risen as well.

We could end up with quite a nice prospect at 15. Maata is the guy I've wanted (who could realistically be around) for awhile now, but I'd be very happy with several guys, like a Ceci or Koekkoek.

Any thoughts on what he would have said?

Let's not do this again...

What happened is Murray tricked Burke into taking Kadri so we could get Cowen, who we secretly wanted all along. That is all.

Two weeks from today -- draft day...

Any developments regarding "2012 NHL Draft?"

From Dominic Tiano (OHL writer with contacts in Bruins) (OrrOverGretzky @ HF)

"If you're hoping for Koekkoek, been told that he is who the Sens will pick unless someone they felt wouldn't be on the board drops to them.

To guarantee Koekkoek then would mean having to jump Ottawa, and the most likely scenario would be Tampa ( 2 first rounders and 4 seconds so they've stockpiled picks).

Been described to me as Bruins "frantically" working the phones to move up. (don't take that to mean for Koekkoek though)"

Stolen from HF but here you go Ev. I've agreed with you about this for the most part as well.

Awwwww yeah.

I hope Peterborough makes the playoffs next year.

Terrible name though...and I guess it's pronounced "Kook-kook"?

Coocoo. FACT.

It's kook-kook. But either way sounds the same I guess.

Interesting. That's damn high regard for Koekkoek if true.

I dunno if someone already posted that exact writeup.

"Slater Koekkoek" is dutch for "Bobby Orr."
