haha its Comm 08′s own David Del Zotto’s little brother, Michael. And I’m predicting he’ll go in the 7-17 range. That unusual range is set because Delzo deserves to wear his own name on a Leafs jersey.

I am going to say my sleeper of the top prospects is Colin Wilson. As a freshmen this year at Boston University, he put up 35 points and was a plus 12 in 37 games. In addition, although he is smaller than many of the other top rated players, he put up 21 reps of 150 pounds as quickly as possible at the NHL Combine, which was five more than any other player. In my opinion, Wilson is good pick for an American team (i.e. Phoenix, New York Islanders) looking for an American talent to market to their fans.

A lot of chatter about the leaf taking Mikkel Boedker who is talented. I however would like to seem them take Cody Hogdson if he is available (as Paul said) but if Filatov drops, he is the player to take. Despite no tranfer agreement he is a talent and he wants to play in the NHL.

The Draft is on Friday at 7pm on TSN. I have went to one live before and they are neat to see, but you miss alot but not having hours of televised discussion and it is hard to tell what is happening in between picks. If you are in the Ottawa area though, check it out for sure.

And to answer the question about draft day hats, I like the Blues or the Capitals. Not sure if the white peak was the best choice but overall they look pretty tight.

There’s a lot more I need to know, Paul. For example, when is it, and is it televised? Will any celebrities be there? Who has the best draft day hats this year? Is anyone I know in the draft (del Zotto??) and where are they going? Did I miss my draft year?

Help!

“Kinda like slipping it in her and then finding out her Dad is waiting for you in the kitchen.” wow!

This year is probably the closest I have followed the draft…I think Filatov is going to slip to LA in the 5 slot or maybe even to sixth IF he doesnt go to the Isles who are sitting shot gun in the race for Stamkos. Atlanta (3) and St Louis (4) both are in need on their back end which is why I think Bogosian and Pietrangelo will go to the Trash and Blues respectively. Leafs will have the first wild card pick because the first six are basically set, just depends on which team takes them.

If they’re looking forward its either Hodgson or Colin Wilson out of BU or Mikkel Boedker from Kitchener but the Leafs have a tendency to blow the first rounder so they could take a sleeper.
If they however decide they want a D man, they have two choices – Michael Del Zotto if you want offence or Colten Teubert if you want a rough and tough style.

My player to watch is Jordan Eberle. He started off the year supposed to be going late first round but he should go top 18 for sure!

Thats my 3 cents.
