No trades yet. Go figure. KD get on the phone and get back into the first! I hear Davidson was trying to trade up to top 10 to get Oliver Moore. Nobody could believe he actually fell down to #19. Saved some assets this way, and still got his man. Just like with that botched tank to get the 1st overall pick, Davidson has a horseshoe up his ass. Finding success by failing with his plan. Like that time when Jerry Seinfeld tried to pull off the Roommate Switch, but ended up getting offered a threeway instead. First time there had been no trade of any kind in the first round since 2007. You would assume KD has to Move some picks today, maybe until next year or two years from now. Maybe he will secure another actual player with some of those twos. There’s a few guys out there to be had I’m sure, and another option or two for Bedard to play with us still pretty necessary IMO. Maybe that giant goalie will slip to the hawks? That would be fun.

NHL does hate its fans. Why does rest of draft start at 10 am on a Thursday? So they can go out and get drunk earlier. Have some understanding.

Bill Guerin will still be drunk this morning considering how plastered he was last night. That was spectacular. There were maybe what, 12 fans there that weren’t family or scouts or agents? Lmao, nice job “smash ville”.

Adding Josh Bailey to the mix and using the cap space to add a pick down the road. I hope the rumor of the Hawks packaging a couple of picks to take Columbus' at #34 pans out. There must be two guys they really want if that is true. It will probably be a wild day today.

OK.. Now Hawks pick up Bailey, are they trying to make the playoffs this season? I'm waiting on the rebuild.

Hawks pass on Cristall.
EDIT: Caps take him.

No complaints on Day 1. I'm a little surprised that none of three forwards drafted touches 6 foot, including the Russian just selected with the #44 2nd round pick.

Perhaps the boys partied a little too much after a great first day. There will be a post mortem on how these other 2nd round picks have played out down the road.

Best goalie in the draft too? Like the idea of swapping a 2nd into next year and picking up a 4th now. Not much difference between 2nd and 4th rounders. Just lotto tickets.

Bailey and Foligno are deadline day trade fodder hopefully. Good pick ups by KD. I could see Bailey chip in 40-50 points with an expanded role on a worse team in Chicago.

The panel is pretty high on the Lardis pick at 67.
Is the goalie that was taken the giant goalie? Or another one?
