Canes Country Draft Party - Live Thread

Come join us for discussion as we watch the draft extravaganza unfold. Will Garth Snow trade his number one pick to Toronto? Will the Tampa Bay owners have a throw down at their table? Will someone make Jim Rutherford an offer he can not refuse for Frank Kaberle? The trades and trade rumors are just as exciting, (if not more so), as the draft itself.
Who will the Hurricanes end up selecting? The first two people who guess correctly before 8 PM will win Canes Country t-shirts. Good luck!

Heh, well, who knows what they sent out right
I haven’t seen anyone reporting what the ducks got out of this
Hmm...
So the Jack Johnson trade falls through.
Remember, kids...don't ever let facts get in the way of your argument.
I was praying the whole “Jack Johnson to the KHL” thing would work out…. he and his psycho father can go on somewhere (as we would say in the south….)

It shouldn’t be responsible for either. That might be totally unrelated to CC, does it happen on any other sites?
yeah…. I think it’s just really sensative…. it does it on sites like Myspace and facebook too…..

Boy…. can the NHL just decide to let someone other than Gary Bettman speak? They should hire a host…. like the guy from Americas Funniest Home Videos or something…..

How could the Isles not have gotten a prospect out of Tampa so they could move up and take Hedman #1? Tavares and Duschene do nothing for Tampa.
Tampa has to want to give something up, too.

ISS on Ashton:
A great skater who can drive the net. Has a good scoring touch and a good shot.
Scouting Report: A prototypical power forward who has the nose for the net and does
not shy away from the dirty work. Ashton has shown improvement the entire season, that is until the playoffs. It was very disappointing in the playoffs. At times plays the game to individualistic and causes turnovers in the neutral zone. He is a very strong skater that will go to the net hard. Is not scared to drop the gloves. Defensively he was at his worst in the playoffs than he was all season. He finished with 1 goal and 2 assists and a
disappointing -8. Night in and night out he is still an offensive threat and lead the Hurricanes in goals in the regular season. and even has good bloodlines as father, Brent played in the NHL.
NHL Potential: He has tremendous upside as a power forward.

THN’s scouts view Paradis as a slightly less-talented version of Caron; a talented forward with good size and decent offense, but probably not enough for a top-six role in the NHL. On the other hand, Paradis does have a heavy shot; he won the hardest shot competition at the Top Prospects game. Shawinigan coach Eric Veilleux talked to NHL.com about one of the things Paradis brings to the table:
“He worked hard this summer strength-wise. He came to training camp and he started running people over like there’s no tomorrow. I honestly think that he’s one of the best hitters in this league right now. There wasn’t one particular hit that I remember, but he has four or five hits in every game that are big hits.”
“He’s been taught to put it together day-in and day-out. When you have skills sometimes you concentrate on just your skills, but now he is concentrating more on his hitting. Last year he concentrated more on his skills, but it is a matter of combining the two to make him a complete player. He’s much better this season because he is maturing and he’s obviously going to be a very good player.”

God, what a dorky-looking kid.

don’t mean to denigrate ruutu, have his jersey, but he’s more valued for his physicality than his scoring ability
he was considered the best player not playing in N.A. at one point. He is immensely talented … great shot, quick release.

Dreger praising McKenzie for getting 27 of 30 in the first round from his rankings. I had 26.

Way to find a silver lining. Congrats on that.
Tomorrow is another day. (There’s always next year)

from Alan Muir of SI..The Hurricanes pass a few players ranked more highly by other clubs to nab Philippe Paradis, a center from Shawinigan. He’s another safe pick who looks like a lock to become a long-term NHLer as a depth player with some offensive upside. Has NHL size (6-2, 195) and could make a relatively quick ascension to the pro ranks. The Hawks follow with Dylan Olsen. Solid value pick. Big hitter (6-2, 210) who also uses that bulk to launch bombs from the point. Odd fact: he grew up, and actually learned the game, in Italy. His father Darryl finished his pro career there after playing one game with the Calgary Flames back in 1991.
