Well, Edmonton can pick no lower than second, so they're pretty much guarenteed a quality player this draft. But, yeah... It would be pretty funny anyway. His head would probably explode. Or at least part of it.
lol, no shit. Just for rodfarva's sake. :1orglaugh
Wild need a center, but I don't know how much depth there is, and we need one now so we'll see what happens. They should make a trade.
Some of the previous #1's have been impressive:

I know I've been plugging Hall all this time, but I hope we take Tyler Seguin. The analogy I would use to try to explain why is that I would rather have a Crosby than an Ovechkin (although I do not believe either Hall or Seguin will be as good as them). Seguin is more intelligent and a much better all-around player. Hall is a bona fide sniper and he will score many goals in the NHL, but I think Seguin will help a team WIN much more so than Hall will. Either way, you really can't go wrong because both guys are awesome, and since the Oilers were guaranteed a top-two pick, I didn't stress over the possibility of losing the first overall pick.
Boston is laughing. They made the playoffs this year and now they'll get either Hall or Seguin in this year's draft. Their future looks very bright. The Leafs are so stupid for giving up their first round picks this year AND next year, as well as their second round pick this year, to get Phil Kessel. They are the epitome of bad management.
P.S. Why were there so many people at Hudson's in Edmonton tonight to celebrate getting the first overall pick? It's like celebrating for being the worst team in the league. The season just ended and we finished dead last by a large margin, there's no reason to celebrate. Wait until the dust settles on this debauchery that was the Oilers 2009-2010 season, and then start celebrating over what could be a bright future ahead for our team.
