The Anaheim Ducks are now taking offers of what looks like it will be the 1st pick overall in the upcoming draft.
We have almost zero interest in moving below the sixth spot in the draft order, so unless you are coming to me with an offer of a Jonathan Toews, Erik Johnson, or Nicklas Backstrom - type player, or an impressive combo of picks and solid prospects, I am likely not going to be interested.
Send your offers via PM please! All offers will get a response (no guarantees that you will like it though ).

It's going to be pretty close....the Isles have two games in hand, but they have the tiebreaker. It is all in their hands...if they suck enough they will get the pick.

Actually they won't, Boston would get the pick... Go Isles!

The lottery coincides with the position won in the real nhl. Hence, TB won with the first position in the real lotto, so whoever is dead last at the end of the season will get the 1st pick.
Last year I owned picks 1 and 2 going into the lotto and Chicago won it with the 5th position in the NHL draft and it just so happened that George (chi) owned that pick so he got to pick first. However he dealt it for for vinny L, and TB took Staal. Leaving me with 2 franchise players. It all worked out in the end:D

Not having a top 4 pick will be foreign this year. Thankfully it's a bit weaker of a draft. As it is now, my top 5 from the beginning of last year which saw EJ, Toews, Backstrom, Kessel, and Staal is looking pretty good. I took a lot of grief from Kirk last year with my 3rd line prediction of staal out of camp as a 17 year old. He'll be better than that (I think) but honestly who was impressed with him other than a 3rd liner this year?
I'm not going to post my top 5 till after the draft, but I always love talking predraft prospects if anyone cares about my opinion they can talk to me online.
With only 2 games left max left in the year, anyone have a chance at moving up or down significantly?
