No matter how good Seguin turns out Burke will still say he got the better deal…what a loser!

Not much.

Wicked tired. On no sleep. Four of five articles are done. All the Silver Seven ones are finished.

Alix has taken to the wine to deal with the loss of Grabner and Bernier.

Thanks. You should see the stuff that didn't make the cut.

I would love to see it

I read everyone’s drafts whenever I can.

Heh

I’ve got a chart of every team’s goalie success rates, a bunch of pie charts that I can’t remember the details of, and a ton of hand-written notes. Columbus, for instance, is brutal at drafting centres. Brassard is the best of the bunch, but the only other guys to play more than a handful of games are Andrew Murray, Jared Boll, and Dan Fritsche.

Calgary has, if I remember correctly without checking my notes, drafted one centre to play more than 24 games in the last decade (it’s Dustin Boyd).

Washington has drafted 11 defencemen in the first round since 1992. Ottawa, Detroit, and (I think) Buffalo are all second with 8.

I don't think he has

He was just finding his game when he broke his leg. If we really can’t find a spot for him besides the fourth line, we should consider moving him, but I think we’d grow to regret that down the years.

Let's see...

EDM: Hall
BOS: Seguin
FLA: Gudbranson
CLB: Johansen (!)

And Vancouver’s sending Grabner, Bernier, and the 25th pick for Keith Ballard and Viktor Oreskovich, assuming the Canucks don’t have a guy left at 25th that they really want. So the deal hasn’t been registered until this happens.

Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs

by Mark Parisi on Jun 25, 2010 7:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

More details surfacing on that

Sounds like if the prospect the Canucks want is still there at 25th, the Panthers get the Canucks’ first-round pick next year. Players involved stay the same.

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL trade. For Vancouver.
