This draft could end up being something special, with rumors flying around about Pronger, and Heatley. LA has been linked to both names, and I really think they're going to do a lot during the draft and free agency. They might even trade the 5th overall, or Johnson. If they could sign a good goalie (or if Quick/Ersberg/Bernier progress quickly), they could be favourites for next year.

Anyone else going to watch the draft? I usually watch it (at least most of the first round) just for the trades. I hate Bettman being up there though........I hate seeing his face every few minutes. And hearing his voice.......it's annoying to me. When the draft was here a couple years ago, everyone was booing him. That was pretty awesome.

I'd be dissapointed if he wasn't booed. San Jose has been linked/named in the Heatley trade rumors, i don't know why (we would obviously have to give up a bit to still fit under the cap). I'll have the draft on in the background if i'm not working that day
