Thanks Bob. It is interesting to see that NBC SN is televising both days of the draft. Shows a good commitment to promoting hockey.

Werenski goes at #8 to Columbus, is that good or bad?

I would say neither good or bad. Still depends what Zach and his advisor(s) want for him.

What about from Columbus' side? Do they need a player like him right now?

The less they need him, seems like the less the advisors will be able to push.

(and I was going to ask the same good or bad question)

I don't think Columbus drafted him to play in the NHL next year. But, he may very well want to sign an entry level contract and start collecting a paycheck. London holds his OHL rights and would be thrilled to add him to their lineup if he signs and loses NCAA eligibility. Depends on his wishes and wants.

Kyle Connor to Winnipeg at #17.

Also, JT's rights were traded from Buffalo to Colorado today.

Carl Hagelin traded to the Ducks this morning - dang, I wished he could have wound up in Chicago.

It looked like Hagelin was a key piece of the Rangers' cup run the last two years, surprising he was traded.
