Guest Low Roller Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Haha. I doubt the Russian Filatov will go #2 because there is so much uncertainty with drafting Ruskies. Look at Cherepanov last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Boedker, Mikkel has been looking good in the memorial cup this year.Is Tavares not eligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 No, he is eligible next year. Doughty has dropped to 4th?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Nope. Tavares was ineligible for this year's draft despite efforts to bend the rules for him. He's #1 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Nope. Tavares was ineligible for this year's draft despite efforts to bend the rules for him. He's #1 next year.He has been the consensus #1 for a while, but there was just an article in the hockey news about how Hedman might overtake him. Who knows? I am surprised that Doughty has dropped to 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Doughty and Bogosian were the two players I saw this year that impressed me the most. Stamkos was flashy, but didn't seem at the NHL level as far as a complete player. Both Drew and Zach are already monsters who could play long careers in the pros.
