The Stanley Cup has been kidnapped by Gary Bettman! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue it?

TV Options

The first round will air on Sportsnet (don't watch this channel) and NBC Sport Network (the one with the good analysts) on Friday, Jun 24, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. EST. Things will actually start happening a good 20 minutes later though, be prepared for a 3-4 hour night if you wanna watch all 30 picks. The second round to seventh rounds will be live streamed on NHL.com on Saturday, June 25, 2016.

For the non-north american folk - I was kind of naively assuming my NHL.TV subscription would have the draft but I guess not. Hopefully I can get a stream

gently caress you NHL

I can't wait to see how Sweeney fucks up the draft tonight. I can't even drown my sorrows in alcohol because I'm working tomorrow.

In my similarly informed opinion I think Nashville should get Fabbro if he's available at 17.

Can we fire Jim Rutherford now and re-hire him tomorrow? Or maybe just get him blackout drunk and put him to bed and let someone else do the drafting?

e: Or better yet we can let him run the Canucks just long enough to trade Brandon Sutter, then return to the Penguins

"finnish guy might know something troubling about finnish prospects" seems like extraordinarily baseless speculation

Portzline shows his work:

More precisely, since Matthews is almost certain to go No. 1 to Toronto, it's not a reckless assumption to say Kekalainen isn't sold one of the Finns. For many weeks now, an again on Thursday, Kekalainen has declined to even describe the skill packages and attributes of Laine or Puljujarvi, two big-body wingers.

There'd better be a cap dump going to the lucky winner of the #3 Pick Derby.

Trading Sutter would've been something that was technically possible, except that Benning gave Sutter the first known retroactive NTC in league history.

I wish I was making that up. :smith:

i'm in orlando for a conference instead of being in downtown buffalo for the draft, and that's rear end. i won't even be able to watch/listen to the sabres' pick, assuming it doesn't get traded before showtime. i saw lots of very canadian-sounding business types in the airport before i left though, and met larry playfair a couple days ago.

by the way, between all the leafs fans and sabres fans who will be in attendance, i expect the boos for bettman to be deafening. it's going to be loving cool

Trading the #3 pick in a strong-ish draft to dump salary would be a more destructive move than any the Jackets have ever done.

GM may be a bridge too far for him, but:

Jason Spezza
Marian Hossa
Martin Havlat
Antoine Vermette
David Backes
David Perron
TJ Oshie
Alex Pietrangelo

Jury's still out on his picks in Columbus, since I figure "Well, none of those are Jackets" is coming.

The Penguins won the Cup in large part because of their superior forward and center depth, so now they are going to trade one of their elite centers for a pick and a prospect.
