The fact that he fell to 16th in the NHL draft this year was shocking. The fact that guys like Rasmussen, Foote and Brannstrom went ahead of him should have a few teams having a serious introspective moment to think about what they have done. I don't think Liljegren should've really fallen out of the top 10 in the NHL draft, that's why I took him at 8. A bout of mono had NHL scouts acting like he caught herpes and was going to spread it in the locker room once he makes it to the big club.

Fucking nailed it

even Dallas and Colorado who took makar and heiskanen will probably wish they took Liljegren in a few years time

Heiskanen is basically a Ristolainen copy they wont regret him

[Toronto Maple Leafs]

Maybe so, but I just think Liljegren could be even better. Guess time will tell!

I might have a deal in place for the 21st pick. As soon as I get an answer back the pick will be made, either by me or the other GM.

I live on the west coast and have weird hours so I might be asleep when my pick comes up. But I will be up by noon (Pacific) so if my pick is up by then, I will select.

You mean you're getting a sandwich right?

[Zoran]

Happy to add in Foote to my prospect pool. If someone would have told me two weeks ago that I would walk away with two top 15 picks I would have laughed. Chabot, Sanhiem, Foote in the pipelines for my D now. Hopefully next year shows two of them taking the next step.

Foote was great pickup this late in the first round

Didn't want to ensure I lost out on another Winterhawk so I took Jokiharju a tad early. I like his offensive skills a lot. He'll make a perfect Blackhawk.

One funny thing I didn't even notice until last night was that with both of the picks I acquired, I ended up taking the players those respective teams took in real life. Vilardi from LA and now Joki in Chicago.
