2009 NHL Draft Eve Open Thread

Less than 24 Hours until the 2009 NHL Entry Draft at the Bell Centre in Montreal.  When was the last time the #1 draft pick (and #2 and #3) was still in question in what is considered a strong draft year?

Who's going #1?  What are your thoughts on the OK Hockey strife?  This is an open comment thread for the NHL draft and Lightning talk.

We should start making things up.

Bouwmeester’s rights, Panthers’ first rounder, and Mike Yorkark’s parking spot for Vinny. E3.

How much of a cap hit would the Lightning take from that?

That might be perfect – a whole lot of nothing. Just what Koules wants in shedding.

has anything come up on the Isles plans for the #1 pick?

Anything solid? Anything definite?

This is the first time in recent memory that the top draft pick was still in question on draft eve…

The only other once I can remember is the Pens drafting Fleury instead of Staal, drafting for need.

Even weak drafts have a given #1 - even if that #1 is so-so...

It’s a welcome change, though, to have a draft that still has top-pick uncertainty this close to the selection.
