From what I remember in the preseason the top 5 was Hughes, Kakko, Podkolzin, Dach and Boldy. Bill Placzek said The year the Blues stole Tarasenko 16th overall, I commented in my mock (where I had Tarasenko "a gift dropping to slot ten", due to the "Russian factor") how this was a top five guy. I am going to go out on the line right now and say this kid is the best up and down winger in the class, and everyone should start praying their team doesn't pass him by, because he is the real deal, from Russia with love. So I was curious to see if the simulator would have also dropped him from 3rd as well. Larry Fisher from the hockey writers.com had Suzuki in the number 10 spot in his preseason ranking and now in May he has him 35th. So I was just a little curious to see where the simulator put him.

I curious to know where Cozens, Podkolzin, and Suzuki went in these simulators? I?ve seen Podkolzin dropping of late and Sieder moving up because of his performance in the IIHF World Championships. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Not sure which one of the 2 you were talking about but just in case. Pavelski will be 35 in 2 weeks. Panarin is 27. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Unless I missed something I think Yzerman was the 1st choice and he pretty much turned it down. JD was second on the list. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Glen Sather?s new title is senior advisor and alternate governor of the New York Rangers. Sather wants to still have power and say over what goes on in the ?Rangers universe?. His not gonna hire someone he doesn?t know or trust, someone who could back stab him/cut his throat and take his current position away?not that a team president can but with the title of team president he could go around Sather and shmooze Dolan?we all know what a moron Dolan can be. Plus JD is very respected & knowledgeable himself, Sather would respect his opinions more than most guys in the league. If it?s not JD then I?m pretty sure Sather would give the job to Jim Schoenfeld, as he?s worked for Sather over 12 yrs. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Do you guys think that the Hughes brothers want to play together? And that Jack tries to force a trade once he?s drafted or vice versa, his brother tries to force his way out of Vancouver to play on the same team his brother gets on? Maybe Vancouver knows something. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

What about Cozens, scouting report on him shows he?s a Quinn type of guy. Big, physical, plays in all zones, has a mean streak. This is what the draftanalyst.com has on him: Scouting Report A high-octane power forward who can play both center and wing, Cozens is the reigning WHL Rookie of the Year after leading all freshman with 22 goals and finishing second in points with 53. He combines all aspects of skating ? quickness, acceleration, balance and agility ? into one dynamic package that allows him to dictate things rather than play reactionary. Cozens is a capable stickhandler who can control the puck at high speeds before making proper decisions more times than not, and he?s very good at setting up give-and-go?s that position him for one-timers or tap-ins. He owns an excellent shot, both for its velocity and accuracy, plus he can score on his backhand from in close. Cozens is very physical and always finishes his checks; at times to a fault, as his desire to mash people into the boards can make him the last forward back on an opposing counterattack. He?s quick enough, however, to eventually catch up and place himself in the right position to ensure there aren?t gaps in coverage. Cozens always keeps his feet moving and keeps his stick active, and his quick turns and pivots allow him to stay with his man, especially while he?s killing penalties. Overall, he?s an excellent 200-foot forward who is very good on draws, can anchor a penalty-killing unit, run a power play and assume top-line duties. AND he?s a righthanded shot.

Don?t forget Strome? he plays with an edge as well. He came on an earlier trade but he was acquired. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

I?d be happy if he can be an Avery/Prust type player. Ecstatic is he can be a Josh Anderson/ Tom Wilson or even a Ferland type. Time will tell. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger NYR getting calls on Lemieux pretty much as soon as he was acquired. Likely moves on the Rangers blue line with McQuaid and Claesson expected to go. Sent from my iPad using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
