NHL Draft Day Open Thread / Live Updates

Tavares_medium

7:05 PM: Gillis tells James Duthie that he is confident he will sign the Sedins AND that he is basically liking how the progress is going with a Luongo extension.

7:02 PM: It looked like the Canucks would get John Moore as a potential steal at #22. But Columbus traded up to pick before Gillis and snagged him. TSN had him ranked at #13. What is Gillis going to do now? Take the next best defenceman?

Answer: Luongo takes the stage and announces the pick: Jordan Schroeder. A forward. TSN loves this pick.

6:30 PM: Roberto Luongo is sitting at the draft table with Mike Gillis and co. The Province thinks that this indicates that there is a strong possibility that an extension may have been reached. According to a poster at the CDC boards, Nick Kypreos is reporting that his sources are saying that an extension has been reached as well. I may eat crow yet. However, if a deal is in place, it cannot be announced until after July 1st. We'll see...

4:45 PM: Reports out there are saying that Niedermayer has indeed decided to play again next season and that obviously the Ducks will sign him, as they moved Pronger. This may be the big "suck it" to Taylor and Pratt at Team 1040 for starting that Niedermayer to Canucks shiz last month.

4:00 PM: TSN has just said that the Ducks have traded Chris Pronger to the Flyers. Wow. I thought the Quacks would wait until Scott Niedermayer made a decision. Maybe he has. Official: Pronger and Ryan Dingle for Joffrey Lupul, Sbisa and 2 first round picks. Jesus. This means that the Flyers are going to have to flog several players (Briere) to get under the cap this summer).

2:43 PM: JP Barry is not feeling so snug that a deal will get done between the Canucks and the Sedins.

"We've been negotiating for more than a year, so it's hard for me to say I'm optimistic," Barry told Rogers Sportsnet on Friday. "We haven't really made a lot of progress in a year. We're going to have to address the gap that we have - but we've only got five days to do it."

You know Gillis is trying to make them sweat right now. And you have to figure that this is Barry trying to perhaps light a fire under Gillis. 5 more days and by God who knows what is going to happen.

11:26 AM: Pics of the the top ten ranked prospects from today's media lunch have been posted over at Bird Watchers Anonymous.

Star-divide

10:02 AM: All it took was John Buccigross to flap his gums on the Team 1040 yesterday that Roberto Luongo and the Canucks had reached a deal on an extension. It was false. Yet I still see (over lame Twitter feeds) that people think it's true. IT'S NOT f**king TRUE! There have not been many or any talks about it since the Canucks were eliminated from the playoffs. Luongo's agent is in Montreal and Luongo is meeting him there soon. There will not be an announcement after July 1st because there is no deal.

Luongo has made it clear that he will sign with a team that is a contender after this season. In order for him to sign here, he'll wait and see what Mike Gillis does and then play out the season. Don't expect any news of an extension signed until next spring/summer. You can expect a bunch of speculation, anxiety and anger about the issue going forward.

10:00 AM: Scott Niedermayer is having a hard time making up his mind about retiring or not. He still has not given the Ducks' GM an answer, even though he said he'd let Murray know by Draft Day. Clock is ticking, Scotty. Shit or get off the pot.

7:00 AM: Woke up to the news that it was the Bruins who offered that sweet deal to Brian Burke yesterday: Phil Kessel and the Leafs' first pick today for Tomas Kaberle. Isn't that a little much for Kaberle?

What about Louis Leblanc? He’s taken a bit of a strange route so far, opting for the USHL over the CHL and deciding early to go to college (he’s committed to Harvard next year). He gets raves though, and he’s often compared to Mike Richards or John Leclair. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=423360&navid=DL|NHL|DraftMicrosite

Ranked #17 by TSN.
Hmm. I hope we get something on defence though.

by Sean Zandberg on Jun 26, 2009 10:36 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

D is the definite need. I do recall Pierre McGuire saying that Leblanc played early in his junior career with some top end prospects and didn’t look out of place. It just seems to me like another chance to make a Cody Hodgson style splash, where in a year or two the guy you took late in the first round is considered much better than a late round pick. I suspect he’ll go to Montreal anyway.

Similarly depressing is this TSN story on Luongo wanting $8 million for five years. And, in the same article, talks about how he doesn’t want to handicap the team on payroll either.

oh my goddamn, this is such an enormous crossroads for the nuckers. it’s really nerve-wracking. the good news is that no matter what happens with lou and the twins, we’re probably gonna get a good player tonight.

Is 40M over 5 for Luongo better or worse than 43.5M over 5 for Crosby or Malkin?

by CarolinaCanuck on Jun 26, 2009 1:44 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It is a good reason to be depressed. This signing is gonna make or break Gillis. If he signs the Sedins, he will be looked upon favorably, if he lets them go, hes a tool forever. How the Nucks braintrust could even consider developing the twins for years, and then walkin away at the beginnin of there elite years is madness.
I’m scalin back my fandom if the Sedins walk. I can’t take it, its beyond stupid!!!!!

“The way Roberto wants to go, he doesn’t want to hit the jackpot, he wants to have a good team,” Lupien told CKNW. “And by doing that, you have to work with the team. We’re looking for a bit more money, but nothing that would strangle the team. I think we’re going forward to have a deal done in the future.”

That sounds somewhat positive for me.

by Sean Zandberg on Jun 26, 2009 10:41 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I meant the fact anyone leaked $8 million is depressing. That is strangulation. You can’t pay that much money for a goalie anymore (certainly not over 5 years), especially if you want the Sedins hanging around or have a prayer at singing a productive winger or two.

Well, Luongo’s salary jumps to $7.5 this year. It’s not that much of a stretch. He’s now in the prime of his career. Id pay a goalie that much over paying a defenceman that much.

No way around the Avs getting a good player tonight. Have faith that they’ll continue to be pretty bad for at least another year or so (unless they find a goalie).

Giving deep sighs to Sportsnet, complaining that after “negotiating for a year” he doesn’t think the Sedins are any closer to signing with Vancouver.

A YEAR? Who the hell do you think you’re fooling? Negotiations started after the playoffs, or did you conveniently forget that, dipshit?

Gah. Agents bother me.

This Sedin shit is beginning to bother me. If Gillis isn’t planning on bringing these guys back, he better have the mother of all battle plans locked up because losing them is going to set this team back a ways.

Also vexing is the questions nagging the Sedins if they do resign big-time with the Nucks:
Can they win the Cup as our #1 line?

by Sneps-ish on Jun 26, 2009 2:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That’s like asking can Luongo win it as our #1 goalie I think. The answer is yes to both, but it’s a team sport so it’s always the sum of the parts.

Couldn’t agree more Yankee, especially with Roberto,

Outside of Luongo, do we have that?

Sometimes I’d rather be in a Isles position with a relatively clean slate/open road ahead

Nope.

He’s been asked exactly that question, and has strongly denied even the possibility. I think Hedman would be a better choice on the ice, but taking th off-ice stuff into account, Tavares is the best choice over all for the Isles.

erixon to calgary.

hey, when the hell did calgary decide that not all europeans are spineless losers?

by passive_voice on Jun 26, 2009 7:15 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Right after they acquired Jokinen and pissed away their Canadian talent for him

Schroeder is a center yes, but he’s an ASSET now. Gillis made the right pick by taking the best guy.

by Sean Zandberg on Jun 26, 2009 7:15 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

agree

he’s also a high-schooler, probably (hopefully) 2-3 years from the nhl, and for all we know we’ll be in desperate need of centers by then.

by passive_voice on Jun 26, 2009 7:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Or he could be on a wing by then.

by Thursday on Jun 26, 2009 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's True

Which is why that is never a bad tactic. I’m guessing it’s his size that drove him down the standings.

by Thursday on Jun 26, 2009 7:21 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Consensus best available when the target you wanted is gone is never a bad choice.

Schroeder looks stalky though. Could be a beast

by Sean Zandberg on Jun 26, 2009 7:22 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I hope you mean

“Stocky”. Otherwise, we’ve got a player who peeps in windows and calls his coaches at 3 AM…

hey it’s Nonis. looking silly.

True that, maybe SBN could find a way to monetize the photos you’d post?

by rsm on Jun 26, 2009 7:29 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

jeez

might get all the way through without a goalie getting picked.

by passive_voice on Jun 26, 2009 7:25 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Not all that surprising considering the current goalie market

A grinder to Boston. A fine team, that.

Eric Duhatschek:
By the size of him, looks like he’s got some Milan Lucic in him.

Anyone who gets that comment is worth a look

by rsm on Jun 26, 2009 7:29 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

to be fair

everybody bigger than 200 pounds is gonna be compared to looch for the next couple years.

btw, TSN’s comparable down below was Bernier :D

by passive_voice on Jun 26, 2009 7:31 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Look at him

Beside Cam Neely.

Speaking of "Stocky"...

How about 5’10" and 190lbs. for Palmieri? He’s gonna be a banger for Anaheim, damn it.

There's a lesson

Chicago has had a first round pick for twelve years running.

by Thursday on Jun 26, 2009 7:43 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Good grief

Why move up four spots at this point, Tampa? Can’t picture any serious announcements after this point, so I guess we’ll see if Elliott or Roussel or another D-man is available for Vancouver’s next pick.

Selections are getting a little random, so maybe there will be more trades tomorrow out of fear…

  Eric Duhatschek: Swapping 29 for 32 is not a big deal, as you note James. I just think Lawton wanted two first-rounders because it looks sexy. I remember in 1999, Milbury traded into the first round right at the end, so that he could get four first-rounders. THey were: Tim Connolly at five; Taylor Pyatt at eight, Branislav Mezei at 28 and Kristian Kudroc at 28. Granted, not a great draft overall, but he didn’t have a lot to show for FOUR first-round picks.

Argh, I should have blockquoted that

Brent Ashton's kid, eh?

When’s the first trade? Pre-season, or one month in?

by Thursday on Jun 26, 2009 7:57 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I think there may be some during FA – trying to juggle cap space etc.

I'm Old

I was thinking of his dad’s record: he was traded eight times in his pretty good (998 games) career.

Wasn’t he an Oiler once?

by Sean Zandberg on Jun 26, 2009 8:05 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Nope. Drafted in round 2 by the Canucks though.

Wrapping it up with another big defenseman. Whelp, fingers crossed for the next!

Time to find a mystery d-man out of Siberia! haha
Thanks for hangin’ here, all.

some very interesting names left.

I’d really love to see the canucks trade up somehow.
i’d obviously kill to somehow land Elliott at this point, and Ferraro’s also fallen pretty far. i’d be happy with landing jeremy morin or c-o roussel too.

by passive_voice on Jun 26, 2009 8:15 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

No way. Trading up tends to cost too much. But hey you never know.
BTW, who the hell are you? You grew up in Smithers? Near Lake Kathlyn? Fuck that water is cold right now. And weedy.
