NHL DRAFT.....

Ok... The hangover of another undeserving sunbelt team winning the cup is starting to end and time for one of the most exciting days of the year. In years past the draft has seen many big trades and also many boring moments. I am hoping this year will be an exciting draft with perhaps a big name or two being dealt for the future.... Any predictions for draft day excitement???

Perhaps Jagr on the move? Maybe the Flyers will aquire the rights to Daniel Briere?

Jagr isn't going anywhere. Half his salary is still being paid by Washington, giving the Rangers an aging, but still dominant asset for half his book value.

Given that Jagr was in the top 5 in scoring the last two years running, there is simply no incentive to trade him anywhere.

The bigger worry I have is how long Iginla/Phaneuf/Regehr/Kiprusoff and Keenan can co-exist.

Iggy, Phaneuf and Regehr will get on just fine with Keenan. Kipper is a different story but the fact is that Dr. Hook has nothing much to replace him with so even that shouldn't be too big a problem. Huselius, however, had better get ready to move.
