[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Look alive hockey fans, the first round of the 2012 NHL Draft takes place at 7 p.m. tonight on the NBC Sports Network.

The Hurricanes hold the 8th overall pick in the draft tonight and they are said to be interested in taking 17 year old left wing: Teuvo Teravainen, 18 year old center: Radek Faksa, or 18 year old center: Mikhail Grigorenko.

There are also rumors that the Canes may trade the pick along with some players to acquire Jordan Staal from the Pittsburgh Penguins.

So here's to acquiring one of these four players tonight.

I've read the Canes are really hoping that somehow Forsberg falls to them.

I give it a 15%-20% chance that, that happens.

So fat there has only been one NHL Draft Day Trade

Earlier today,

The Columbus Blue Jackets Received

Goalie- Sergei Bobrovsky

The Philadelphia Flyers Received

2012 45th overall pick

Alright, it's draft time, the Oilers are on the clock!!!

Who's watching?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

As thought by many, the Oilers take the Russian Nail Yakupov with the first overall pick.

Forsberg could fall....someone always does...2 years ago very highly rated cam fowler plummeted for no reason.....

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Had had a few more trades.

Washington just got a little better acquiring a 60 point player in Mike Ribeiro and as many thought, Visnovsky was traded to the Ducks tonight.

Nice read on Teuvo http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/73851/teravainen-looks-to-become-household-name/#more-73851

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

In this order I like

1. Filip Forsberg

2. Teuvo Teravainen

3. Radek Faksa

4. Mikhail Grigorenko

5. Cody Ceci

[Panther_mountain]

2 picks between us and either Forsberg or teuvo!!!!!

All we need is one d to be taken in there somewhere....

The closer we get to picking the more I wanna keep the pick. Get Jordan next year UFA.

[Panther_mountain]

Hell if teuvo and Forsberg are gone that means dumba fell in our lap. I don't want more d but holy hell you can't pass on picking him...

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Forsberg and Teuvo can play right away so as long as we get one of them I will be happy.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'd pass on Dumba, we already have enough small defensemen.

If Dumba fell to us, we could most likely get a sweet package in a trade.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Lol at that pick by the Ducks.
