Having said that, I think #1 overall is Tavares, he's just too good to pass on. Either way, whoever has the second overall pick will not be disappointed. Either of these two would be well worth giving up serious assets for. I think Hedman is a better fit here. Tough call. Hopefully BM will have to make a choice at the upcoming draft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836745571642954527.post-27233727606688244812009-01-03T11:05:00.000-05:002009-01-03T11:05:00.000-05:00@Martin: IIIIInteressssting...

And assuming any "blow up" would include Fish and his 4.2M cap hit, JayBo could fit, especially after (finally!) shedding Pastry's contract come 1 July.<BR/><BR/>@WAC: Just thought you'd like to know, I'm currently fashioning a life size statue of Dustin Tokarski out of tin foil for my living room.

I was involved in a discussion involving Hedman on PPP, where it was decided that he doesn't play like Pronger at all because he doesn't have the physicality - just the height. He sounds much more like a taller Nick Lidstrom - and that has worked out pretty well for the Red <BR/>Wings the last few years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836745571642954527.post-90319791631593775502009-01-03T07:39:00.000-05:002009-01-03T07:39:00.000-05:00I'd go Hedman - but I have a weakness for Swedish ...I'd go Hedman - but I have a weakness for Swedish defensemen. :)<BR/><BR/>Tavares is amazing, but having a good defense makes the goalies look better, and any offensive player is useless if you can't get him the puck in a good position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7836745571642954527.post-87387233044208519602009-01-02T17:50:00.000-05:002009-01-02T17:50:00.000-05:00I got Jared Cowen, who for some reason was not inv...I got Jared Cowen, who for some reason was not invited to even try out for Team Canada.
