Around SBN: In Crunch Time, Spurs Don't Change Their Game

NHL Entry Draft Open Thread: Day 2

The Devils will finally get to pick, at 38th Overall. Feel free to discuss the events of the entry draft. If you want to talk about the big USA-Ghana game, you shouldn't do it here.

Editor's note: HEY! Wanna watch the NHL Draft? NHL.com has a streaming video here. P.S. We're not kidding about the no-World-Cup chat. I support the U.S. in it; but this isn't the place to talk it.

Any prediction on who the Devils will draft?

Heard any trade rumors?

I thought for sure Lou would have pulled some kind of move to get into the first round.

by Mike Gill on Jun 26, 2010 12:12 PM EDT reply actions  

No rumors that are remotely credible.

Preds give Denis Grebeshkov’s agent permission to talk to teams about trade. He’s an rfa on July 1.
Per Dreger…

I thought about it and I would rather have the more picks than just get in the 1st round. And plus, the Devils probably have the guy they want still on the board.

I am hoping for McFarland but its 8 picks away. Unless Lou trades up which seems unlikely.

The second day of drafting should start soon

What to expect.

The Devils will make some picks. We’ll get stories on each one up, allow space for discussion, update them later with what we can find about the player.

Columbus took Dalton Smith prior. I think the Devils will take a good talent soon.

6’3" 198, he should fill out with another 20 pounds or so. Sounds like a good prospect.
