Team Staal
Takes Paul Statsny. Phil Kessler goes last, how unfortunate for him.
Paul Statsny is selected because he's not in a hockey market?
What an odd announcement for a pick.

Ovechkin just took a picture of Kessel by himself
Kessel looked content with being last. As he should being a Leaf and all.

Phil Kessel
Apparently doesnt listen well. haha
But got a car out of it, so its worth it as far as I am concerned.

Kessel gets a 2011 Honda Sierra. Not a Kia.
Elias’ clapping isn’t very good.

I care about Elias scoring goals, not clapping his hands together :)
So this is what it's like to be an Islanders fan...

I know, but I want him to do better than Les Miles at clapping.

Still, with all that $$$ Burke gave him Kessel could probably get himself a better car than the Honda he got.

But he didn’t pay for this ride. Maybe Kessel is frugal?

Team Staal’s aggregate cap hit is ~97.1, while Team Lidstrom’s is a little less pricey at ~$93.5. #nhl

The Team Sheets!
Briere crossed out at top LW for Lidstrom’s Team; replaced by Richards. Staal didn’t bother to fill out his 12th forward.

3 Goalies, 6 D-men, so only 9 forwards in the game?
So this is what it's like to be an Islanders fan...

Plus the 3 captains. It’s 3, 6, 12.

My prediction for team E. Staal lineup:
FORWARDS
Alexander Ovechkin / Eric Staal / Daniel Sedin
Patrick Sharp / Ryan Kesler / Rick Nash
Jeff Skinner / Claude Giroux / Corey Perry
Patrik Elias / Paul Stastny / David Backes
DEFENSEMEN
Zdeno Chara / Dan Boyle
Marc Staal / Mike Green
Erik Karlsson / Kristopher Letang
GOALTENDERS
Cam Ward
Henrik Lundqvist
Carey Price
My Predictions for the Lidstrom Lineup:
FORWARDS
Brad Richards / Steven Stamkos / Martin St. Louis
Anze Kopitar / Henrik Sedin / Daniel Briere
Martin Havlat / Jonathan Toews / Patrick Kane
Loui Eriksson / Matt Duchene / Phil Kessel
DEFENSEMEN
Nicklas Lidstrom / Shea Weber
Duncan Keith / Dustin Byfuglien
Keith Yandle / Brent Burns
GOALTENDERS
Tim Thomas
Marc-Andre Fleury
Jonas Hiller
I’d say a success for the NHL. After the draft, Letang, Kessel, Staal, Lidstrom, Skinner were all trending U.S.-wide on Twitter.
