The 2009 NHL Draft Thread - Friday June 25 - Versus 6pm

[SIU LAW]

Miklasz Twitter:

Jarmo on the Bernie Show: Blues interested in trading 2nd R pick to get extra picks in the 3rd R. also: may trade down from 17 in 1st R.

[Oz-iz-God]

Why are there always rumors involving Kessel? Why would the Bruins want to move a young scoring forward?

They can't afford him.

It really does suck that a lockout/armageddon scenario still left us in a position that a legendary team like the Bruins has to consider trading a 21 year old scoring phenom.

A whole lot of hearbreak seemed to effectuate very little actual change...

This site crashes everytime I try to posts JR's Morning Skate. It's about the Blues trying to get Harding for a package of prospects, but the Wild want an established NHL forward. As of this afternoon, nothing was in the works between the two.

[strocklen083]

wow, we're trading down! how exciting...

[strocklen083]

Dreger is reporting Niedermayer is coming back for another season. This seems like the trigger that would move Pronger tonight.

[WaukeeBlues]

wow, we're trading down! how exciting...

*shrug

If Jarmo doesn't have anyone in the middle of the first round that he HAS to have and has no problem with the guys likely available in picks 20-30 or even lower- Why Not? GM has to work w/ the scout to know exactly what you're looking at. If nobody that much more exciting is at 17 that wouldn't be around at 30; F it. Get more for your money.

Future problem of the St. Louis Blues?

[strocklen083]

Pronger apparently traded to Philadelphia per Dreger...

[LazyPenguin]

Pronger just went to the Flyers

[OS]

If that turns out true, I'm pissed.

[strocklen083]

If that turns out true, I'm pissed.

although let's wait to see what they gave up before judging. But I agree, if he was up for grabs and we didn't put in a legit offer I'll be one POMF

[strocklen083]

Bettman doesn't have the slightest clue what he's saying. That f-er can't speak a lick of French!

Pronger for Lupul and #21 overall. Hmmm...

[strocklen083]

I think McGuire just came in his pants talking about Tavares

[SIU LAW]

We couldn't get Pronger without giving up one of Oshie or Perron. Let's just hope Pronger doesn't sign an extension.

[strocklen083]

To Philadelphia: Pronger
To Anaheim: Lupul, Sbisa, two #1's

That's a haul! Good no move.

Everyone I've ever talked to that's connected to Pronger has always said he intended to TRY and sign back here again after 09-10 season.

[strocklen083]

Is every f'ing team going to get on their knees and suck Montreal's c*ck before their pick? This is only the 2nd pick and it already makes me sick.

They need to speed this up- seriously.

It wouldn't surprise me if every single NHL team has a French speaker up there with them doin this crap. I would say get used to unfortunately

[SIU LAW]

That's a lot to give up if they don't think they are going to get an extension with Prongs.
