2009 Draft Picks


Its The Milk

Recommended Posts

I think this was a ballsy, yet good move. Young, big, powerful, and Rutherford likes him. All good signs of a positive future. How long until somebody gets on here and says "We should've taken Bill Guerin" or some crap like that. Let's hope he can help Staal out in a couple years.

I think for the most part the NHL drafts 1st round it a big crapshoot. The first few picks normally produce and play alot. Tavares and Hedman will play this year. Tavares with score 20 goals and Hedman will score about 20 points or so. Our guy this year could be good, I hope he is. History tells us he is a few years away. But sadly we have a rough history with 1st rounders. Outside of Staal, Ward and O'Neill none of our other 1st rounders have produced. Tanabe was always hurt. At least Andrew Ladd turned into Tuomo Rutuu. Jack Johnson never had a chance but he really hasnt been all that in LA. All that being said I think we wont see our boy till at least 2011. Boyhcuk, McBain and Bowman all have a chance to come up this year and make an impact. I still doubt youll see Sutter this year, he still needs more weight.

After going back and looking at the rankings and watching some clips, I'm beginning to like the Paradis pick, he had gotten up to 26th overall on some rankings. So I'll give Carolina a b+ on that draft.

I know the dude doesn't speak english on a regular basis but watching

made me feel bad for the guy.

So he has terrible english and coming to good ol' NC...god he will experience some culture shock. lol. But he likes country music, so I guess he can get used to bein here. But he seems like a stand up guy...from what I can understand of that video. <_<

    • lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.
    • Just wear another jersey and have AI photoshop it lol
    • His piece of the pie is only going to get smaller unless there are serious injuries.  Unless the actual pie becomes that much larger, ie Bryce being Kurt Warner, I don't think there's room for him to breakout.  Just like there's not room for JT Sanders to break out beyond a couple hundred yards receiving and a few TDs. I don't think a lot of people understand the volume that XL got last year.
