Yup. Hadn't heard of Sandin until about a week ago, but he's moved up in EP's rankings for December.

With the exception of Dmitri Simashev, it seems like every other d-man projected to go in the first this year is 5'10 or 5'11.

Carlsson and Sandin later and call it a draft.

Except it's deep and we have a lot of picks.

Hughes will get a third first round pick at deadline or the draft itself.

 

[GGpX]

Will Smith at 5/6, Sandin Pellikka at 10/12, Matthew Wood with a late first? I'm in.

Maybe Gabe Perreault if he's still available with our second round pick.

 

[Habsy]

I'd look at Augustine Trey (G -Team USA) with a second rounder.

Could you imagine if Florida does end up a lottery team and their ball wins?

Oh my.

Will Smith? Will we draft Jazzy Jeff too?

Will Smith? Will we draft Jazzy Jeff too?

If we draft Will, we will be getting a player who can fight, or at least slap around people 6 inches smaller, and 20 pounds lighter than him…

Well these guys are currently playing like funky bunch so Marky Mark is definitely around.

Well whoever drafts Will Smith, it would be entertaining to watch that when he is drafted that he walks up to the podium, slaps Bettman across the face and says "keep my team's name out of your fucking mouth!"

Fla seems to be in real trouble, but the pessimist in me thinks this is too good to be true.

Will Fla not swing for the fences to try squeeze their way in?

 

[CH1]

Fla has been hit with injuries to key players so this extreme slump may be temporary

 

[lecoqsportif]

I think they are in a mad max cage fight to make the playoffs, the math is ugly. But I don’t think they are bottom 10.

 

[Stinky]

Maybe they’ll get more

You bet your ass they will unless way out by deadline. Zito will get fired if they miss.
