Ya, what does Lou Lamoriello know about running a hockey organization? I love the Armchair GM stuff. I trust that if Lou wants to retain the pick, there is a very valid reason. - Zangief Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:22:50 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21238 Anaheim at 25/1? no thanks,how can they be ranked that high? Washington-sure! If Tampa gets a goalie- sure. Wouldnt touch Toronto even at 35/1. for real long shots- Ottawa at 40, or Minny at 75 I'd take- ottawa looked good in the playoffs- good team game- and both Ottawa and Minny have some impressive rookies coming. - Rollie1967 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:19:52 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21237 If a team has to forfeit a first round pick over the next 3 years, how can they not forfeit 29th overall? Big Ev, maybe the 2012 29th overall will be as good as the 2013 14th overall pick in 2014, but who will be better in 2016? By your logic teams might as well trade all of their future 1st round picks for current 2nd round picks. The Pens at 7-1? Did the oddsmakers watch MA Fleury in the playoffs this year? - Isle B.

The Islanders at 75/1 are a much better investment... I really like Tampa at 25/1. Edmonton at 60/1?! I need to get in on that action! The draft and shrewd trade and signing could catapult them into contention. - Dicks Wed, 13 Jun 2012 06:42:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21235 As foe the comments below, even of a drafting a better than another draft, they are roughly all the same after the Top 10 or so. I easily take 29th now instead of 14th on two years - Big Ev Wed, 13 Jun 2012 06:37:28 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21234 Radulov was expected to be traded there the whole time as Fedorov is offering lots of money and just acquired his brother Igor as well. - Big Ev Wed, 13 Jun 2012 06:35:53 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21233 Rumour is the Devils are giving Parise the 29th pick to be his slave for the remainder of his career as long as he resigns in NJ. - littleranger Wed, 13 Jun 2012 06:20:32 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21232 Lou is a pretty ballsy GM, gotta think he has something up his sleeve. - Ross The Boss Palmer Wed, 13 Jun 2012 05:36:54 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21231 Rumor has it even if the next two years they make the cup, that 2013 and 2014 are stronger overall drafts than 2012 is expected to be. Bottom of the first round this year is not expected to be high impact players. And if it is true that the Devils are keeping it for a goaltender, you can easily get one of those three in the second round. - bogans Wed, 13 Jun 2012 05:29:21 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21230 Entirely possible that Lou has a taker for that pick, to be announced in a trade pre-draft. - jer_33 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 04:55:36 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21229 Lou will be sad when he forfeits the 8th over all, in favour of the 29th. It's difficult to view the Devils as being on a climb up the hill. More of a one time flash. The blue line is shaky. Marty & Elias on their last legs. Parise heading out for greener pastures. The Devils will be hard pressed to make the playoffs next year. - JHM Wed, 13 Jun 2012 04:17:00 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21228 I think they will go for a goalie with the 29th selection... Brodeur wants to play another year and since they don't have a stellar goalie prospect, they will go after one of Subban, Dansk or Vasilevsky... - marlou3232 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 03:38:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21227 I would be tempted to put something on Carolina at 50/1 as an outside what the hell bet, they are not as bad as everyone thinks and could spring a surprise. Got to agree with donpaulo, the Caps at 25/1 are in interesting bet as well. - UKflames Wed, 13 Jun 2012 00:22:08 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21226 I wish I could shortsell that Detroit play, 12-1 minus lidstrom, stuart & holmstrom ? Yes they have a ton of cap space but 12-1 with a re-engineered blueline ? If I were in the casino I would probably drop a dime on PHX at 40/1 and the Caps at 25-1 if they make it past the first round you can sell the "winning" ticket to a bandwagon fan somewhere :) - donpaulo Tue, 12 Jun 2012 23:04:38 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4680-june-13-2012#comment-21225 I don't get why people are saying it's dumb to keep the pick. Would you rather have 29th overall now or, for example, 20ish next year or 15-20 the year after that? There's not a big difference between 15-20, or 29, and your prospect you just picked 29th overall will have 2 years under his belt development-wise once the 2014 draft rolls around. This way they get to pick a very good goalie prospect if they want, and keep their pick in a deeper draft next year. - Big Ev Tue, 12 Jun 2012 20:16:30 +0100
