Oughta be a fun day/evening.

A trip around cyberspace reveals the following so far:

* Other GM's have asked about Perron, Pleau said no.

* A Kessel-for-Petro deal is floating around; no idea how valid the rumor is.  As always, we still want Pronger too.

* Strickland said the Blues would probably take Ellis at #17 if he was still on the board (seems odd, considering he's smaller than our other midget D prospects Fairchild, Warsofsky, and K. Berglund).

* Some other names that have been linked to the Blues at #17: Josefson, Shore, Holland, Kassian, Ashton, Kreider, Budish, Schroeder.

They should cancel the draft out of respect for Michael Jackson.

I say we offer the Blue JAckets.....Brewer and the 17th pick for the 16th pick, which we will trade back to them for keeping Brewer.

The Blues would probably have to sweeten that trade by throwing in their second-round pick and taking Brewer back.

Maybe we could wrangle the negotiating rights for Backman.

There's been a Kaberle-for-Kessel deal brewing all day.  This morning, it appeared to include a pick going from Toronto to Boston...now, the latest report is that Boston will include a pick with Kessel for just Kaberle.

Kessel doesn't seem like Burke's kind of guy...it'll be interesting to see, IF this deal goes down, whether Kessel would be "flipped" elsewhere.

Apparently Tampa & Nashville are talking...it's unclear whether TB is trying to get NSH's #11 pick, or NSH is trying to get TB's #2 pick in the event that Tavares is on the board at 2.  (That would suck if the Preds landed JT.)

Dreger says Pronger trade talks are heating up.

Eklund throws some darts on his latest blog entry:

Quote
* Word is that Kovalev will not be a Montreal Canadien next season.

*Marty St. Louis will NOT be dealt.

* Rumor of Heatley to Anaheim for Pronger..

* Brian Burke may take the long way to Tavares, but he is still focused.

* The Leafs my be movin Jason Blake as well.

* The Preds and Lightning are talking about that #2 I am told..

* Calgary is once again ahead of Vancouver in thie Jay Bo Race...Alot can change stiill..

I would only consider this if Brewer could be repackaged with a third-rounder back to the BJ's for future considerations.

Despite last-minute rumors that the Isles would actually take Duchene as the #1 pick, they go the low-risk route and take Tavares.

Tampa Bay needs a defenseman, and Hedman is still on the board.  Two picks, two empty-netters.

PHI gives sbisa, lupul, two 1sts to ANA for Pronger.

absolute robbery for a guy in a contract year.

Linky

Luca Sbisa, Joffrey Lupul, and two first-rounders for Pronger. 

Lupul is involved in a Pronger trade for the second time in his career.  And unless the Flyers get Pronger's name on a serious contract extension, this trade looks awfully lopsided.

EDIT:  if nhlnumbers.com has everyone's contract right, the Flyers are now about $750K short of this year's cap.  And still have only Ray Emery signed in net.

Another absolute shocker:  Matt Duchene goes #3 overall to Colorado.  Coulda been a Blue if The Scheme hadn't suffered a season-ending back injury.

#5:  Brayden Schenn to the Kings.
#6:  Oliver Ekman-Larsson to the Las Vegas Coyotes.

Trade:  Columbus sends its 1st- and 2nd-rounders to the Isles, in exchange for a lower 1st, two 2nds, and a 3rd.  (#16 and #77 from CBJ, #26, #37, #62, and #92 from NYI.)

Tomorrow morning, the Toronto media will christen Nazem Kadri as the biggest steal of the draft.  Because, you know, he's a Leaf now.

#11:  Nashville takes D Ryan Ellis.

Minnesota trades #12 to the Islanders for #16, #77 (both flipped from CBJ) and #182.  So Snow essentially traded 26, 37, 62, 92, and 182 for the opportunity to move up 14 spots in the first round.

Snow then uses that pick on defenseman Calvin DeHaan.

Seriously?  David f-in Rundblad?  Another Swedish defenseman?  This guy wasn't really talked about in the same discussion with Ekman-Larsson and Erixon.

John Moore and Jordan Schroeder were still on the board.  Hell, Kreider, Ashton, Palmieri, Ferraro, Shore...ugh.

If this was Jarmo's guy, we could've traded down 10-15 spots & still gotten him.  In Jarmo we trust, I guess...Strickland twittered that Rundblad was in our Top 10...but this seems like a reach to me.

A plan for redemption:

* Draft one or two of the following forwards: Morin, Budish, Hanowski, Anders Lee.

* Draft one of the top 4-5 rated goalies (anyone notice no 'tenders were selected tonight?): Roy, Lehner, Koskinen, Mike Lee, Pasquale, Bobkov.

* Or, failing either or both of the above, land Josh Harding somehow.

Can't believe Pronger was the only "big name" moved, and floored at what Philly offered to get him.  They seem to be going for it...better find some goaltending.

Pissed that Columbus ended up with Moore, and that Schroeder went to Vancouver, after we passed on both of them.

Overall, considering the hype...kind of a boring first round.
