If anyone is curious, here is TSN's mid-season's rankings...

http://www.tsn.ca/draftcentre/feature/?id=36559

We have only the NYI game left to determine our final placing.

Assuming we finish 25th(5th last), the potential draft positions and probabilities are:
Draft 1st- 8.1%, 2nd or 3rd or 4th-0%, 5th-74.7%, 6th-17.2%

However if NYI win and pass us so we finish 26th, the probs are:
Draft 1st-10.7%, 2nd or 3rd-0%, 4th-66.7%, 5th-22.6%

Go Islanders go!

Philly scores 16 seconds into the game. Then again, a half minute later. 47 second in and the Isles were down 0-2. But wait, with 6 minutes to go in the 1st it's 3-3

Nicklas Jensen has 7 goals in 7 games in the PLayoffs.
And I thought a month ago he would be there with the NSH pick

He will be IMO

New CS rankings:

North America:

1-RNH
2-Landeskog
3-Huberdeau
4-Hamilton
5-Beaulieu
6- Couturier

Europe:

1-Larsson
2-Zibanejad
3-Brodin
4-Armia


Most people say Beaulieu's value is inflated due to his team.

No sure where Strome is ranked.

Strome was ranked 8th.

Don't know if anyone posted this, but it's worth a read:

No matter how the ping-pong balls fall, Gregory believes each of those teams could end up happy.

"I think the talent is deeper at the top and there's a lot more parity there (than in the past)," he said. "It's sometimes more difficult to say there's not a Taylor (Hall) vs. Tyler (Seguin) -- two elite guys -- or a Sidney Crosby, who you could put his name at the top of the board before you start the meetings.

1st overall pick

Yeah really. The closer we get to the draft the more praises you can hear for RNH. being compared to Gretzky by the Edm organization might be over the top but it does say that they will not trade the overall pick this season and pretty much guarantees they'll pick RNH.

With that kind of expectations I hope he delivers.

Now if we can just win the damn lottery!!!!!!!!!

Good year for Ottawa to finish in the bottom 5 because 1 through 6, the difference in talent is minimal. People obviously have their preferances as fans, analysts, and managments, but if Murray gets the player he truly wants, I think Ottawa walks out with the best player from this draft.

Brandon Saad could be haad with the NAS pick.

Anyone have the skinny on when & where I can watch the lotto? It's today, right? Would it be on NHL.com?

EDIT: scratch that.... I see Shabbs has a thread on it. Yay!

I'd be fine with that...

Sean Couturier and the Volts are in Gatineau again tonight. They lead 2-1 in the series.

Saint John plays Victoriaville tonight. They are up 3-0.

Murray will be in attendance when Ryan Strome's Ice Dogs try to go up 3-1 against the Generals.
